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..

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
