Hi Everyone

Sorry to let you all know that we can no longer run our Friday Night Track Driving sessions at Sandown Raceway.

Those of you that have booked and paid for positions on upcomming dates will have their fees refunded.

Of course our weekend and weekday trackdays will continue.

Kind regards

Kev

That sucks... I was really wanting to get to these once my car was back. :D

Was the noise measured and was therefore found to be above a certain db limit before the decision was made to tell you to cancel it?

Was the option of allowing this event to continue with stricter noise limitations in place entertained?

As far as you know was it just a case of a few residents calling up their local authorities saying that it's too loud??

Very disappointing indeed.

Not as if Sandown was there AFTER they moved in.

Its thier own fault!

thats right, they knew what they were getting themselves in to when they bought the house. Farkin nerve to then complain about it. STUPID PEOPLE!

i would love to live next to sandown :D

I used to live a reasonable way from Calder, and on a warm night with little wind or the wind blowing towards my place...

I could hear the top fuellers back in the mid 90's before Bob ruined the party...

I couldnt think of anything better to listen too! Motorsport fans should live near motorsport tracks - pansys should live near a nursery

All those people bought their properties at a much cheaper price back in the day because of that very reason, they were supposed put up with the noise. And now all this crap, after they get cheap property they start bitching. I live 2min from Sandown and it really is not that loud on Friday nights nor is it too late to start complaining or making a big issue out of it, they knew what they were getting themselves into 10 years ago when they were buying their properties.

This is so gay ,

Im with ash on this one .

would the residents prefer we do dounuts in there street, so fkn sick of seeing today tonight and 60 minutes doing stories on " hoons " zooming up and down ppls streets and then wen we go to a race track and not throuh there front fence they still crack the shits and complain.

MASSIVE cruise needs to be organised run it through as many of the nearby streets as possiable. ???

Stuff this , im going to make a few phone calls to the ppl deemed " important " in that area and see where they would prefer us to race .........

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
