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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
