When you spend 20minutes going around the block until a parking spot in front of the place your going to becomes free so your car is never out of your sight.

Love this thread!

You know you drive a skyline when;

.. your last girlfriend left you because you forgot her birthday.. again.. while your at home changing a clutch.

.. your dad buys one because he is jelous

.. the bloke in the other car simply ignores you

.. drive 7 suburbs away to get milk and eggs, simply because you can drive longer

.. you spend over $150 in one night on petrol to continue driving the twisties..

.. when jumping in an AMG at work n longer excites you

hey sorry mate

When your friends think your weird when you explain to them the concept of the "spotted" thread

You know your in a Skyline when...

* That RX7 just blew your doors off........................

* Your holding up some strange sounding car, with pop up headlights..............

* You have people fallging you down in the city asking for Taxi rides..............

* Your girl left you mid cruise to "check out the cool RX7 accorss the road"

* Skyline Inferior, RX7 Superior...........

thats very true. Especially at uni, got to park it oppisite the computer lab so i can glance out the window to see if it is alright!

when you drive past the broken down rx7 laughing to yourself thanking god you didn't buy a rotary...

Myth...

Secretly you'd pass the said broken down rotor and think.... "dam, I wish I was cool enough to own a rotor" :)....

But seriously they are both great cars.

You know you drive a Skyline when:

You think you can beat anything on the road

Looks like I can add to that with

You know you drive a Skyline when you think nothing is as good as one and you arc up something feirce when anyone begs to differ :)

...when you are given the most busted arse ute on site because they think your a hoon, then when it breaks after being abused by every other SOB and you get the blame.

...when you practice your apex's and lines around site in the busted arse ute.

...When you think flying to Japan for a car show is a logical way to spend money.

...When the driver of the 355 Ferrari you just beat refuses to make eye contact...roflmao

...When the scooby driver arrives at the freeway off ramp lights 15 seconds later and politely ask's how much HP the R makes and can his wrx do that...lol

It's probably in here already, but when you call insurance companies and they refuse to cover "imports", you must be over 25 for owning a Skyline, or over 30 because you mentioned "GTR".

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
