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.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Absolutely nothing wrong with a Profec or similar. He's on a Nistune, so external boost control is a better option anyway.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there.

      Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
