What's the details man?

She is arguing with me about how noise works, she claims that the same noise during the day would present as being louder at night time with the lack of other noises around the place "noise doesn't cancel noise" apparently. I have now 130 emails from this lady who is demanding silence despite the fact that she has a brickworks, a freeway and a major coal freight line on 3 sides of he block

A friend of mine, a muso, posted a similar post on FB yesterday. She's currently in NYC and was saying that there are no noise restrictions and it's great. The band can play their hearts out and people love it. In the valley, the number of noise complaints publicans get is stupid. Why are you living in the Valley and complaining about loud live bands?! Also, why do you live right next to Lakeside park and complain about the noise of race cars?!?!

Similarly, why do you live next to a freeway and complain about noise?

http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2014/03/what-does-its-too-expensive-mean.html Have a read of that and you'll see where I'm coming from.

Gear box is stupid expensive, however that's once every 100k km - hopefully. Plugs are all iridiums (could be platinums now that I think about it), coil packs are about 20% dearer than standard skylines, parts are rarer hence more dorras (window motors, fuel cap release motor, seat motors etc), sway bars are about $350 + shipping from the states because they're difficult to source here, exhausts are more expensive when you include stupid frieght rates. Overall, it all adds up for less performance.

Modifying a car and maintaining a car are 2 completely different things you can't compare them.

You knew before you bought your car it was going to be expensive to modify (like all cars) but you still bought is and complain about it being expensive.

Also contradict yourself much?

I'm not modifying. I'm maintaining. Wheel nearing - $300

And no. I didn't know that the upkeep was this exxy as when I bought her in 2009, there was limited info available.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
