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.

    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?
