I have entered but guessing I am even further down the waiting list :P Will be good to get some real kms on the car....anybody been to one of these days in a "noisy" car ? How are they with black noise flags?

Briefing notes from MSCA organising this weekend at PI say (see below) Doesn't mention anything about a dB requirement or black flagging etc. Obviously the absence of such specific information doesn't mean you're in the clear, but at least it's not in black and white. Seems at least noise is a sensitive issue and certainly before 9.00. Hope that helps.

So Phillip Island . DO NOT FORGET ABOUT NOISE RESTRICTIONS. No Noise at all before 9am. This is a restriction on all track users and only the V8's and Moto GP people are exempt. The Competitors have to push cars at RAce meetings,and yes, the scrutiny bay is uphill. Obviously cars that are driven to the track may drive , but no revving of engines will be allowed. Trailer cars may be started to unload but must keep revs to an absolute minimum . Any blatant abuse may result in the driver being sent home

To the best of my knowledge the only full noise days are PIARC, V8's and bikes any other track day has the usual restrictions including this one. 90db measured at the side of the track (I think 3m away from the track itself but I could be wrong).

Sounds like the 050's are the tyre to have - they appear to be putting out consistently quicker times. I'll be happy to have a reliable day to finish the year off. :P

Well, I will put their noise restrictions under the torch and see what happens

MSCA are generally vintage cars so may do 90dba+ days at PI.

I'm doing MSCA at Sandown on the 5th. One last blast there for the year.

No question they are a great tyre able to put out quick times....however on a heavy car like the R (well my car in particular!) they tend to only give 2 or so hot laps before getting too hot and sliding around. I've found the RE55 is far more consistant over a 5 lap sprint than the A050 at tracks like Sandown and PI.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      Blue slip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      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.
