Has anyone heard of, or been, fined as a result of an excessive reading at the track?

Read a ruling in some recent supp regs indicating it's possible/likely. :angry:

What is the fine for exceeding noise limits?

I reckon that on public roads they should give you a second chance to remedy it and then just send you home anyway.

You don't get fined for a reading over 75DB, you just get sent home. Makes it an awful waste of money to get to the track, knowing your car could be over the limit to get sent home. The noise limit's are strictly enforced, and because they are so well known, ignorance is no excuse. A track is NOT a public road, it is a private venue available for hire. Not only do you waste your money, you make it hard for everybody else and for the club holding the event by taking your over limit car to one of these events and trying to get away with it.

It's just way easier to make sure your car is under 75db at 30 metres.

I heard someone last week or the one b4 claim to be fined for excessive noise at Sandown last weekend or the one b4.

turned out when dug deeper he got busted leaving sandown on the street and busted by EPA

AFAIK we are on private property when on a track so we cannot be financially fined, just removed from the track

I can confirm 100% without a shadow of a doubt at Sandown you do not receive a fine.

You get warned if you are over 75dba and given a chance to reduce the noise output. If you go out again and you are still over, then you get sent on your merry way :)

Hmm. The sup regs for the upcoming John Mott Memorial Sandown mentions you may get fined for being over the noise limit.

Blue text halfway down

I'm entering anyway so I'll make sure I'm only 74.98dba :rolleyes:

^ lol exactly, everyone has been doing that for years - and that's even if a tester rocks up (not always)... If they do, they usually set up in the same spots each time, so it's not hard to work out.

Also once the dude has gone home (rarely there the entire day at a club sprint)... Well... You know what to do :thumbsup:

Yup, no guilt in doing this either... In 95% of cases the race tracks were there before the houses that complain.

It's no different to building next to a major airport and complaining and in my opinion should be treated as such. i.e. houses should simply be told bad luck.

I should re-word my question.

Is the 75db limit in the supp regs correct? or is it possible that it has just been carried over from other events in the regs?

just curious because its the first time ive personally come across 75db for winton

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
