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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
