Geez guys...ease off my back a bit!....all I'm saying is that we shouldn't be portraying ourselves as anarchists without regard for law and order....If you do portray that attitude on this forum...that is what people will think of us.

Show some decency and respect to others and it will be returned(mostly...as u rightly say...some people are just pricks....u will never please them).

Incidentally....whilst driving around in my horrible nasty import car, I am constantly being passed by speedsters and impatient drivers in 'normal' cars.....I just sit back and enjoy the experience of driving one of the nicest cars on the planet.

Oh and finally JiMiH, if your car is legal...best of luck...invite said whinger to make a formal complaint...but keep your cool man.

all the best Ozzy

JiMiH, I wouldnt worry about it dude. We used to get the same sorta shit when we lived around where u live. It may sound a lil far fetched but I think it is partly to do with the area you live in. Dont take it the wrong way but when my family moved to where u live I sorta gathered that some (and only SOME!!) people who lived around us really thought they were hot shit....(snobs)...so they sorta thought that everyone had to bend over backwards to do what they wanted :)

A few years back when we were there we had some stupid bitch complainin about my dads then 5L VT SS.....now I think the most of you would think a stocker SS is quiet!!....well she didn't :D

should take the skyline round there.....sort her out :lol:

People think if you car is loud, your instantly a hoon and always speeding.

Fudge em.

YES! I can relate to this. Ill be driving along a quiet road and people watering their lawns stop, stare and give me this dirty look as if to say "slow the *** down!" humm amazing.

yer.. the area is a bit like that. i have the same problem with crazy mothers waving their arms in the air (.. like they just dont caaaaaaaare...) about me driving where i live... not too far from young jimi.

From my house I always hear motorbikes, I always hear trucks, I hear V8's.. and they are much louder than any turbo i've heard go past. The worse ones i think are probably the little buzz box turbos anyway, which are the high pitched ones.. not a nice smooth skyline.

Some people get intimidated by fast looking cars, don't know what they are, get jelous, get scared, whatever it is.. but its not a good idea to live out the stereotype.

If anything I'm now happier driving 50km in a 60km zone than i ever was in any car i've hard previously... just thinkin' "i can go faster than any of these cars if i want to, but i don't need to because i'm just taking it easy enjoying the drive".

Anyone who is familiar with the droning hum of the RB26 at idle should know it can be annoying, I also hate the "pshh" noise as the A/C compressor kicks in and out (I think that is what it is).

Though I do sometimes wonder which NASCAR team test drives their race cars around my area.

Some women (in my experience it has always been women) are just grumpy and expect to live in silence, my sister is one of them.

The funniest people are the yuppies that move into an apartment in the city and then complain about the noise. YOU ARE LIVING IN A FARKING CITY, get used to it! I lived in Hong Kong for a while and the noise from ships is constant. Eventually you don't even notice it.

Yes I know that type of yuppie....the one that buys the house near the airport and then complains...or near Garden Island in Sydney....we were banned from carrying out preventative maintenance on our nations warships by the locals...'what no-one told me there was a dockyard/airport there!'...can't please everybody. Life goes on.

good point Gojira. whats the deal with ppl moving into the city then complaining of noise? its the city! for example this guy in perth moved into an apartment across the road from a pub. then he complained that the pub was too loud. now the pub cant turn music on or something stupid.

also, and way off topic, how did u like hong kong? im thinking of moving over there permanently mid next year on a work visa.

lmao... my mate simon used to run a club night at cage here in melbourne off russell st i think it was on fridays and sometimes saturdays... not too long ago Bob Hawke moved into an appartment just down the rd and complained that there was too much noise (coming from the back room which is where i loved it most cause of the sounds) and then all of a sudden he wasnt allowed to have the music up too loud in the back!

**** THAT!

he kept it low for 2 weeks then basically told them to **** off and kept it up again.

haha sweet other people have the same prob! :)

Phew!

But yeah my car sounds like it should be way into the legal limit, so I think she can just shove it.

I should get it tested really so if she complains to me again I can show her proof of it being legal :)

And I don't leave the turbo timer running if it's past around 8.30pm ... just idle it up the surrounding streets. But geez she really pisses me off!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
