Would an ls180 be ok to enter? Has mufflers but very loud haha

Would be fine to me.

As long as the mufflers are effective in diminishing the engine sound and it meets the regulations.

Heya guys,

Am I a current SAU member?

I'm keen to do some controlled skids this weekend if there's space.

Mark :)

Definitely lots of space! Checking into membership details so i'll let you know.

haha

so Tom isn't too sure his car will still be quiet enough!

Nick is our Scrutineer, so I'll ask him what he thinks

Rule of thumb with all venues is 92-95db at 30m

Now if it's a street car and doesn't get defected for noise on a regular basis it's fine by me

If it's a race car and hasn't had issues at trackdays then again I am happy with it competing

Hi, Yes we have spots left.

Drifting is not allowed because of insurance reasons.

We just can't allow linking of all the traffic cones and need to see a clear demonstration that it isn't a total drift of the course.

Ok yeah, heard that from my dad as he hires the venue sometimes.

Figured some sideways is alright then? Lol

Getting sideways, a bit crossed up and flicking yourself around the cones is ok. You can link a few cones in drift style but not all.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
