WogsRus Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Ok so, i have an R33, with a free flowing exhaust, but still manages to pass the noise polution last time it was tested, it's not a loud exhaust by all means when compared to so many other cars or bikes. I have a baby capsule in the back for my son and generally drive like a grandmaaaa around town. Yess open road is a different story. Over the past few months it has become increasingly apparent how much other people don't like our cars, IMPORTS and alike. Two months ago somone tried to break into my car, the alarm went off all day, and no one called the cops. Two weeks later the alarm was false trigered, and no one called me or the cops. I returned to the car only to recive a rather rude note, stating that if the alarm was to go off once more, the car would be torched. I park at battery point every morning, about 7:30 every day. I don't speed as it is a 40 zone, plus dam narow lanes. So i pull up to my ususal spot, as usual, the times counts for 5 seconds, the car shuts off, i do all my ususal stereo face off ect. I get out and an elderly man, ealry 70's, is waiting for me. So the conversation basically starts like this. Him: " Must you park that incicious thing here" (ps no idea what that word means) Me: "Excuse me" Him: "Every morning i wake up, i don't even set my alarm any more" Me: "Appologies" The conversation then goes on to basically tell me that the car is so loud and so forth, that i must have replaced my exhaust with a quote" NOISE MAKER" ect. He then procedes to tell me how he can hear me tear off in the afternnoon up the road ect. Yeah because in a COLD turbo engine the first thing you do when you start it is thrash the shit out of it. I then proceed to state that the car is road legal, meets all ADR and tasmanian regulations as listed on the copmpliance plate ect. Hence the car is legal and will continue to be driven. The conversation went on for a bit more and stoped fairly quickly after i showed hiom the baby seat in the back, upon which i appologised once again and went on my meary way. Now i don't do anything to provoke these guys, i pull in nice an quiet, never rev my engine and so forth. One spot up from me a great V8 parks which is next to defening (trust me i hear it every morning as it pulls up), but my car is still louder. Why is it that in todays society, so many people simply hate our cars and the younger generation who have pasion and drive to make their machines as good as they can be. Now i would understand the gentelmans concern if the car was loud but it is not loud by any means, the pufter valve makes more noise then the exhaust. So this afternoon i am expecting some slashed tires and a burnt out shell. So what the hell is it, Sorry but i jsut had to vent.

DECIM8 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Hellies in his front lawn will show hiM! Na seriously if it bothers you and him so much put a restrictor in the cannon for work driving and for open road remove it.. just use a paper clip to hold it in because its not like you want a bolt removed etc takes to much time.. anyways just an idea In chatswood I have an old fart telling me he likes my "hotrod" and to be careful every morning, abit of a legend no one dares to comment on the noise (cause people in sydney see a black skyline and wont even pull up beside it now) and I do put it in neutral when im going down streets to drop the volume.

ras1983 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 lol let it alll out should trade ur skyline for a harley davison On that note, how on earth are Harley's and other loud bikes considered road legal? They are easily the loudest motorised transport available and can be quite deafening when up close. p.s. i'm not complaining about how loud bikes are, i'm complaining about the apparent discrepancy between noise levels of cars and bikes.

Munkyb0y Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 ive never had any negative comments about my car, from young or old. and my exhaust is on the loud side. in fact i had a few old guys compliment it. i guess my driving/car/attitude doesnt make them fear for their lives. on the other hand, i had a 32 pull into my street one night. i guess they were friends of neighbours. windows down, music blaring, abnoxiously loud exhaust, two good for nothing, trouble looking, well tanned fellas (dont wanna be racist here) get out, leave the car entirely unlocked with timer going and music still blaring. this is way out of place in my street. i felt like going over and telling them to fark off out of here. its not the car, its the way they use it.
