Right next to the Speedboat Club.

Heaps of you guys have been to my house before, think about where my house is in relation to AIR/Speedway, because I can hear the sprint cars from here. Having said that, its only in certain weather conditions and Ive never heard it inside the house.

Having been to the proposed location, I would be suprised if it failed. TBH I reckon Taperoo and Osborne would be more likely to hear it than the port, but the prevailing wind comes from the SW, so it would blow the sound over water towards bolivar...

The EPA allow certain noise levels above ambient noise. So a drag strip may be loud, but can still be approved with the right buffer zone and noise level buffer above ambient.

:cool:

^^ If the speed boats are making that much noise on a regular basis, surely it's not that big a deal for drag racing to occur once a month, especially with the sound barrier that would be around it.

Really want this to happen as well, would be nice just to take my line down to a drag strip just to see what it does. Not that I'm expecting heaps.... still would stop me being curious.....

Personally I'd like to see the event be open every Friday and Saturday night, since those are the two days you really want to let off steam and go party - would be good if they were able to build a petrol station right outside the venue too, with e85, methanol, lpg, 98 oct, diesel, nos etc etc

sydney has wednesday night drags air used too as well

for sure, they have to have some kind of regular weekly events to justify the cost being spent on it - whats a speedway's use when its closed? bugger all eh, as we've found out since AIR closed...

they'll have to have some kinda schedule, keep the noisiest events for the daytime or during the weekends and then have general stuff like grip/drift prac during week nights - Im sure many people here would be weekly participants

Yeah would be good if it ran street meets fairly regularly, would come down to the amount of people turning up I guess & how much some locals bitch & moan if noise does turn out to be an issue (there always has to be one or 2. I wouldn't think there'd be a shortage of willing participants.

even if they had just a petrol station/ cafe-restaurant-diner / car wash / car park it'd be an ideal place for people to meet

provided the law respects the venue for what it is and doesnt simply use it as a cash net - this is dependant on what mister premier says too

thing is, you get the stuff that people want to have around for their cars ie petrol, a place for them to clean it, catch a bite, maybe even put in self serve garages with hoists similar to the rentable garages at lala...

possibilities are endless

that would be a great location for the track

Im down near pelican point road and we can hear the speed boats on the weekends very clearly most events, thing is I can put up with the odd event of drags or race cars.

Most of you know where i live and i hear the speed boats very clearly but i wouldnt care if i heard drags ect, its not like it would be after midnight and it would be on weekends

Its no different to the drag strip on victoria rd anyway lol

thats so true. 12pm is the curfew for most noise, and I believe private parties are able to continue to 3am in most suburbs depending on noise levels of course

if this was to go ahead, id be seriously considering investing in some kind of small business like a cafe/car wash venue.... could even have a bunch of simple 8x4 portable rooms leased out to the assorted car clubs across sa, ie the evo grp, hsv, sausa, supra grp, porsche club etc

would be an excellent alternative to renting out private property around the suburbs

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
