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.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
