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 :)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
