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 :)

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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?
