NOISE TESTING

When - 18th March ( Tomorrow )

Time - 10am start

Where - Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Cost - !! FREE !!

Mt Cotton have come to the party :) as it's not something they normally do they have decided to give us 1 hour FREE so they can 'see how it goes' and decide if it's a service they should be providing (at a cost in future) - how many cars get tested will come down to how organised we are

Anybody planning on attending SkidPan/LVMA events in the future here is your oppurtunity to know where you stand in regards to the noise restrictions placed on cars participating.. 5 spots up for grabs

will a fine turnup in the mail if we dont pass

No there will be NO come backs from this ... last SkidPan event there was a number of cars that "failed" but there was no problems .. just meant that those cars couldn't use the facility

Mt Cotton are only concerned with meeting the EPA obligations for the facility

Are they now restricting cars into the premise that they suspect are above Db limit?

If they find your car is over the limit will they note it, and restrict you next time you wish to use there facilities?

They are now enforcing a 90Db limit on cars participating in events at the complex. - Council / EPA requirements. Last time we had a members only SkidPAn event all cars got tested before being allowed on the SkidPan

As a side note I also noticed on the Dutton Rally site that all participating vehicles are required to meet a 90dB level (ie .. the legal limit)

Nah its just for competitors on the facility and they dont care how it got there or where its going its just for the competitor cars on their grounds and as an offer for SAU Qld to check before we actually do it and dont get knocked back after we've paid in advance.

seriously ed, easy fix, get a piece of 2mm steel sheet metal. Cut it into the shape of a 2 bolt exhaust flange, drill 20 or so holes in it (less depending on how quiet and how much power you want to loose) and then slide it up between your catback and cant converter flanges.

oh, who won overall?

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
