SMSP has a 95dB limit for track days, however it appears they don't really enforce it, especially when they use the main straight for Roll Racing and those cars are anything but quiet.

Also screamer pipes are such a distraction on track days, you're too busy enjoying the noise to actually be focusing on driving fast lol.

Depends where the microphone is for the noise meter and I don’t think drag racing has the noise restrictions 

Apparently it's at the control tower, yeah I know Roll Racing doesn't have it however the irony is they use the same main straight.

My understanding, is SMSP doesn't have an actual noise limit from the Gumbyment. Other tracks do. Hence they opt in / out of who gets noise restrictions on which days.

That is my understanding from like 15 years ago when I was there.

That's so dumb.

It's the age of case of "Even though we can, maybe we shouldn't do it all the time" so they don't annoy everyone

While there's "not a lot" close to EC, that sound does travel.

 

Roll Racing may align with Top Fuel on some nights, so Top Fuel will be way louder, may as well let it be loud at RR.

When WTAC gets in, it's a HUGE event, better open it up a little (Being on the start finish line, it's nicer if cars keep below the 95dba limit).

 

95DBA is pretty darn loud. Especially since it's measured at race tracks at 30m from the edge of the track normally!

So think about how loud a car is when it gets book at over 90dba on the road at 1.5m, and then imagine how much louder it is to get to 95DBA at over 15times the distance...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
