It has a muffler, measures around 103db at 1m 45degree angle at 5000ish....

Should be fine. When measured at 30m in the open I'd be VERY surprised if it fails.

Also, the measuring gear is at the front gate and we are at the back of the property (so 300-350m away).

That would be fine mate, 30 metres knocks off a lot of sound, you'd be surprised.

Side note: A friend of mine has asked if other cars are allowed to enter? He has a commodore.

Cheers.

Yes other cars are fine. Same rules apply etc

Loses 6db with every doubling of distance, so will be <75db at 30m

p.s. In!!

edit: have paid, will email entry form when I can print and scan it. Should make the .pdf forms into a form so we can fill them out with adobe reader ;)

How much access will spectators have? Will they be allowed to get to any corner to watch/take photos?

Not really mate, the facility is not designed for spectators and there are no walkways from the start point to any of the corners so anyone on course needs to be driven to their spot.

There's heaps of view from the little grandstand they have from the start to the first corner (first corner is so far away, without chicanes we can easily hit 250kmh it's that far.) You can also see a few corners towards the end of the course from the start line which sounds strange I know, but remember it's a loop. Ill get a pic and post up

That said, there is always marshals needed to sit in chairs out on the course (safe positions of course) and radio in if someone hits a cone on their way through. Those people usually bring cameras and get the best seats in the house so to speak and free food and drinks throughout the day from the club. So if she would like to do that for a while (doesnt have to be all day) then thats great for pics.

BTW Between runs everyone is lined up in a line similar to the line at TexiSOS days, and spectators etc can mingle and hang out with you while you wait for your next run as that area is safe. Hope that makes sense

Lol nah shitbox 31 will be rooted from 7000km of abuse by then :P

Will be in the micra.

Nah 31s are like cockroach's, it'll last forever!

Is the micra the turbo one for sale atm? I really want it, but the missus thinks I have toof many toys already

Good stuff Pete.

If you want to both enter and drive one car that's doable. Just write it down on the forms so we cant miss it.

Edit: Anyone can double enter a car, pretty simple, 2 drivers means two payments. You'll each get the same amount of runs as a normal entrant of course

yep thats it, not really for sale... Will have to sort some decent tyres and maybe put the LSD in before the texi :)

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
