parking officers just stare at your car for 2 hours straight in the parking lot.

when you come to renew your parking ticket (so you dont have to pay for the non-free time), they pounce and fine you.

i feel like slapping them silly.!!!! :P

When your missus says "you love that F$%ken car more than me"! (prob been said already)

, and when you return to the car after shopping and think to yourself " what a sexy f$%ken machine"! ( it still excites me to this day).

You know you own a Skyline when you spend 30mins checking vacuum lines before you go for a cruise.

....When the copper that lives in your street warns you that there is a blitz on the weekend.

....When you add up how much you have spent and think fark....then pass out...:)

....When your Dad take your mum for a drive in your Skyline and she gets out and goes "what the f**k do you want a car that fast for?"

...When you smile at what she just said and say "Its only on low boost"

....When the first thing people say when they hop in the car for the first time is "WTF is that?" (PFC commander)

....When people scoff when you say its only a 2.5L till they come for a thrash.

You know you drive a Skyline when your undies are worn and tattered and cant be f**ked buying new ones coz all your money is being spent replacing things that dont need replacing on the Skyline!

your girlfiend complains about sore boobs from bouncing around due to stupidly hard coilovers

in a carpark u park about 30cms away from a brick wall on the drivers side, then climb over and get out the passenger side (to reduce to risk of dents/scratches

haha, i parked in a 1hr zone, came back to car and saw chalk on the tyres. Moved car to second level of carpark and wiped off chalk. Come back to car and fine on window :)

If i had a regular common car he wouldnt remember it from the previous hour where he marked my tyre :P

You go through money like a drug habbit-Guilty

Hate telling your missus whats inside the express post box every month or so-Guilty

Driving past buildings with windows just to see how damn nice your car is-Guilty

Makes turbo spool and blow off noise from time to time-Guilty

Looks at other cars on the road saying "Id smash that,id smash that too,and that-Guilty

Drives the 4 cylinder shit box more that the skyline-Guilty

When walking around corners,pretends to clutch kick and drifts around the corner-Guilty

Thinks every noise and clunk i hear when driving i think its worse that it really is-Guilty

Sometimes takes the long way home because i think someone is following me-Guilty(but you cant be too careful these days)

When people ask how much ive spent on my car i say "see your car? I could buy it twice"

Cant look a copper in the eye-Guilty

Clutch the car going past an RBT-Guilty

EDIT:When my gf say "Why dont you spend as much money on me?" I say "When you pull as hard as the skyline does i might consider it"

If i hear something late at night ill run through the house to the garage and turn the light on-Guilty

Other people look at you while driving and think you are a hoodlum (Only the skyline owners who are not apart of the SAU family are hoodlums)

When your dad now knows your car as "The Star Ship Enterprise"..."Warp speed Mr Sulu"

There is a wallpaper of your turbo on your phone-Guilty

Your GF now knows what "lag" is

Go to Japan to buy cheap parts-Guilty

Can pick the note of a RB-Guilty

- when SAPOL spends more time under your bonnet than you do.

- get more defects than you get petrol.

- you see more cops in your skyline than when you were driving the 4 banger work horse ten minutes earlier.

- you drive through a car park in 1st gear at 4000rpm just to hear the sweet sound R n B, i mean rb.

- you drive through a car park and every third car you drive pass you'll set the alarm off from the burble of the rb.

- you boost it through a car park to get the flutter sound as you drive past people.

EDIT: These aren't funny but true, for some unfortunate people out there.

Lately it seems....

- you see your drive way empty.

- you constantly check your thread titled: My skyline stolen.

- you see someone else boosting off in your skyline.

    • This is awesome.     
    • Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
    • What transmission are you running?  It's a bit tricky with the scaling, but at face value the power "curve" looks more like a "line" which is a bit odd... basically a lot more like a dyno plot I'd expect with a highish (compared to a factory auto) stall torque converter type setup. If this is running an auto then this kind of boost control challenge is definitely a thing, the rpm scale on the dyno doesn't reflect what the engine is actually doing (unless the dyno has access to the engine's ACTUAL speed electronically) and what you'll get is a big rpm flare up as the engine torque launches past the converter pump's ability to resist torque at that rpm, then as the converter starts picking up rpm it will kinda even out again and the engine rpm will pick up more steadily. The trick with this "flare up" is if it's kinda near the boost threshold for the turbo then the engine's airflow requirements to maintain the previous boost level will outrun the turbo's ability to supply that boost - so you end up with a natural flattening off, if not dip when that happens.   If you are running closed loop, or even tune the "feed forward" wastegate duty cycle to deal with that rpm spike then when the engine starts settling to a more typical climb you'll actually have a situation where the gate is "too closed" and boost will run away for a bit, then have to pull down again.      It's not trivial to get this perfect as most boost control systems are generally expecting more predictable engine rpm rates of change, but if you *know* that's whats going on then you can at least "accept your fate" and realise getting that area perfect is kinda chasing your tail a bit, and assume that if the rest is working sensibly and the spike/dip isn't completely uncontrolled then you should be good. Sorry if I've gone off on a tangent, but the dyno plot and boost control behaviour look a LOT like what I've seen tuning autos in the past. What ECU are you running? Could possibly be convinced into looking at logs if I get too bored this weekend haha.
    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
