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!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
