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 ??

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.

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.

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 !

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..

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
