when you drive your bucket of rust gemini to work so that your freshly polished skyline doesn't get dust on it.

when your dad offers to let you drive his porsche, you say you don't want to downgrade and take your skyline

You know you drive a Skyline when pedestrian couples walk past you at a red light and they both check your car out. And you pretend you don't notice but secretly you love it.

You know you drive a Skyline when you wait around till it's warm in the morning, and till it cools when you get home, wasting time and petrol because you worry about hurting the RB.

You know you drive a Skyline when you're doing 60km/h in a 60 zone but constantly checking your mirrors for cops.

You know you drive a Skyline when you make a list of "to do's" and "mods" and leave it on your desk.

You know you drive a Skyline when you park, step out, and take a pic with your phone and people are watching you and wondering.

You know you drive a Skyline when you drive something else and realise how good your 'line is.

You know you drive a Skyline when you read this thread and laugh cause 99% of the posts you can relate to.

You have a several page exel spread sheet of "to do mods" with all the prices, part numbers, suppliers etc with totals down the bottom of each section - and it adds up to a lot more than the purchase price.

Guilty as charged your honour

When you spend 10 minutes explaining to your non-line mate about your desperate need for more negative camber and you get -> :D

You know you drive a skyline when you get out the car to have a shag with the chick ya just picked up cos you know it just to small in the car and you know ya gona hit ya head on the back window if ya try

    • Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ? 
    • HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though 
    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
