Does anyone else's neighbour complain about the noise your car makes?

Now my car isn't loud at all, but one of our neighbours has had a go at me twice about it!

She complains it makes a "hum" at night when I come home from work and she's in bed :)

Yeah, I've noticed mine does drone a little.....more so from inside the house...bzzzzzzzt, dunno why ? I really dont particularly give a sh#t as it is entirely legal. Compared to my old V8 Torana with twin (separate) 2.5 inch pipes with only hot dogs as mufflers....my Skyline is veeeeery quiet. I used to roll my Torana out of the driveway and down the hill and around the corner in the mornings before I started the car just so I was away from MY neighbours ! I guess the short and tall of it all is that you should really try and keep the peace within the neighbourhood....perhaps if you are running your timer, sit outside the garage or carport until thats finished so it doesn't resonate as much ??

cheers Ozzy

I hear alot of cars with noisy exhausts come past my house of a night, i admit it does annoy me a *little* however i can live with it. I really don't see the point of getting pissed off about it and provoking people. Tell the bitch to sit back with a coke and a smile, and quit her whinging about nothing. Ok, so it droans a little. Big deal. I hate people who expect the whole neighborhood to cater for them, like everybody else's world revolves around them

end of rant.

:cuss:

let's see how she will cope with 20+ skylines reving and bouching off rev limiter in the middle of night! :lol: :burnout:  

cheers

That would really endear skyline owners to the general public, now, wouldn't it? Let's all instead come around to Pva_Glue's place at some ungodly hour and bounce our engines off the rev-limiter while Pva_Glue is trying to get some well-needed sleep.

How about a bit of consideration for other people. She may have to get up early in the morning to go to work.

If you have a timer, there should be no need to use it - just back off and drive off-turbo for the last k before you get home and you can turn the engine off immediately you're parked.

OMFG!! Lighten up mate! He was just having a joke.

Blind_Elk has a point. We really should be trying our damndest to get the heat off ourselves....we love our cars...we really dont need any undue (especially negative )attention from the general public in particular the POLICE.

I have noticed quite a bit of disregard to others and in particular police on this forum.

We need to reverse that trend, and ensure we do the right thing by ourselves. Have fun, dont give anyone any ammunition to use against us. Publicly taking the piss out of police and others on such a public forum is probably not too wise and doesn't help our cause.

Go the Skylines !

Cheers Ozzy

I wouldn't worry about it Joe. Obviously some people read these forums and take everything you type as gosple. I mean no one mentioned the Police in this entire thread yet Ozzy above is giving a lecture on showing respect to them? WTF?

Just remember when you do go around JiMiH's house to annoy his neighbour that you take off your exhaust so its nice and loud!:headbang:

Well they key is just to remember a time when *you* got annoyed with somebody making lots of noise near you.. then it seems stupid to be doing the exact same back at somebody.

But some people take things that wouldn't annoy 95% of the population upon themselves. Those people are ****wits in general in most aspects of their lives, you can never please them.

I have noticed quite a bit of disregard to others and in particular police on this forum.

Come on, most of it is just idle chatting and "I wish I could" - most people are never going to actually do these things.

With the police, I know they don't set the laws and they are just doing their jobs. In melbourne where they are now booking people for going 5km/hr over the limit, no discretion allowed - there is a fair bit of anomosity going around. Police shouldn't be tax collectors and there is much worse things than road violations that police could be handling. But it varies state to state I think...

jimi lives next door to the most retarded lady anyones ever met. there are a few stories about this crazy lady.

jimis' car is not that loud at all. he always tries to be as quiet as possible and never tries to annoy anyone.

personally im of the opinion that jimis neighbour is that chick off that movie about the skitzo;s etc in that mental hospital(i think angelina jolie's[spelin?] in it) ie shes the one that keeps chicken drumsticks under her cupboard.

needless to say, increasing noise pollution is the inevitable cost of development.... and it'll only get worse:(

i know my car wakes my next door neighbour up in the morning when I warm it up, but shes cool with it. I know that most of you would get pissed if a big v8 warmed up for 10mins 20metres away at 6 every morning. I think that the lady should take it easy, but at the same time, it always helps to be considerate when you can.

my skyline is veeery quiet compared to the old 2l riceburnin sonata I had. with just one high-flo muffler... nothing more...

I admit it was WAY too loud, and if i had kept the car I would have put another muffler in there :) but noone ever complained about the noise.. funny that...

my mum now says "as long as your car doesnt go "PSSSHT" like that annoying tiger gold hilux behind us you'll be alright"

"yeh mum whatever *psssht*" off I go :D

I can see some neighbour's points tho, i mean coming home at 2am from a night out and idling a noisy car for 3mins can be a piss off hey...

ahwell..

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
