Sure enough. Picked the car up today after the springs were installed and drove it for over an hour in a variety of conditions. Noise is gone. The squeaking though could probably be attributed to brakes. That's normal and it comes and goes. Yes it will make an audible noise of some sort when I...

I drove it this morning with the windows down and it's making all kinds of noise lol. Clicking, squeaking... Ironically, where I drove to this morning was to get springs installed so I'm curious if that will make any difference, because at this point I have no idea what's making the noise, and...

Nah, can't really feel it. I can't hear it at all in the cabin, only with the windows rolled down. I'm almost positive it's not in or near the steering wheel. I haven't done anything as far as troubleshooting besides make this thread, primarily to see if other people are experiencing similar...

Sounds roughly like what you'd expect from a worn CV axle. But my car has 8k miles on it... I really don't think that's what's going on here. I just noticed the noise recently but I can only hear it with the windows down and it may be possible it's made this noise all along and I just never...

Just FYI, my order finally came in a few days ago. Pretty happy with it overall.

Generally after trying a search and coming up with little useful results, I figure a thread is worthy. There are a few threads for individual springs out there, but it would be nice if all of it was in a single location. I actually have purchased Eibach PRO-KIT springs and have an appointment...

I haven't pulled the pins yet; I may have mentioned in another thread that my local shop seemed reluctant to do that because they felt like it could introduce some sort of liability. I may just have to pull them myself before taking it for springs install/alignment next week. If they do give me...

I just love the R33 in particular. Gives me all kinds of 90s-era JDM goosebumps. I figured his license plate implied a built engine (RB28).

What fantastic feedback. The "violent inputs" is definitely something I need to work on. You're absolutely right; I kind of trained myself to smooth out my inputs, but first thing I noticed with an instructor driving my car during the auto-x school I went to in spring was that he was very...

Looks like a fantastic day and GOT DAM that R33 GTR!

Yeah, maybe I'm looking too much into it. It definitely seems louder than stock, which is already on the upper end of tolerable on the road anyway. I don't spend enough time on a racetrack to justify going much louder than that... and I see how the Milltek's design should imply its loudness. I...

Exactly. Ends don't justify the means... I personally don't understand why so many people are extensively modding and tuning these cars. Stinky fumes and CELs aside, adding significantly more power to a front-wheel drive car that's about at capacity already without overwhelming the front tires...

Absolutely. What I meant about "extracting most if not all potential" was that you can actually hit redline in 2nd without breaking the law. Same can't really be said about the GT3RS, as amazing a car as it is- and that's not even bringing downforce into the conversation- but you're spot on that...

On the road, a GT3RS is insane overkill. Call me crazy but I'd rather be in an ITS where I can extract most if not all of the available performance than get blue balls driving a GT3RS that can only tap 1/10th of its potential on a public road without committing a felony. Would I turn down an...

Hate it or not, best to just get used to it. We're just getting started. We'll look back on this conversation right now and be reminded of what it was like in the 90s with no cell phones. Probably more dramatic than that. If the machines don't take us out first.

I gotta be honest, the pops and bangs are far louder now 7k miles in than they were when I got the car. I really started noticing a difference recently. I'm actually looking at milder exhausts as a direct result of this- it's already obnoxious stock lol.

By "manually turn them off" I mean just that- go into the settings in the dash via the steering wheel and uncheck all the boxes. You may have to do this every time you cycle the power for some settings (auto-braking may be the culprit here but I can't completely recall... still no issues with it...

The panel misalignment is a valid gripe. Mine fortunately is very good; but also why I am very reluctant to take the bumper off because I feel like it'll never be the same again. I agree, that's a design issue. Paint mismatches from the factory are also why I decided to steer clear of white...

This is just a broader issue with what implications data represents from both a "benefits to society" and a "menace to society" perspective. Because there are very clearly both things happening in regards to data these days. It really just boil down to who has access to the data and what their...

You're not the only one that had ISSUES with the stupid collar on the shifter. I got the same knob and I do wish it was a bit bigger, and since my wife pointed out the finish is different from anything else inside the car, I've been looking for alternatives lol. I also have a scratch from...
