When you recognise the shape of commodore and falcon headlights in your rear view mirror then get paranoid it might be a cop

When your the only person on the freeway late night/early morning and you get the thought of smashing the accelerator but then thinking, ahh I'd better not.

So true. I'm paranoid about bommadores and failcons these days, I always think they're cops.

And yeah, a deserted freeway at night is so tempting for a v-max run, but jail, not so much fun.

when someone asks you what car you drive you pause for a moment and then reply.................... "a nissan skyline"

haha i cant help think that when you say this you say it with a Jeremy Clarkson impression :blink:

you know when he's introducing a car or the stig and he pauses then in a deep dramatic voice

"what is it?........a nissan skyline"

... You dream about your car being broken into and you wake up angry.

... You are paranoid about leaving the car with your trusted mechanic

... You smile and go Wooo Hooo every time you get a red light.

hahaha me too.

... when the rumble of the v8 commodore is out-done by your screamer pipe.

... when your mate's, mate start looking to buy a skyline after you've given them a lift.

... when you take off normally at the lights as the other car screams off.

... when you watch the face on a cute girl as you go up through first gear in an underground car park (highflow cat, 3 1/2in, single cannon). >>> ;)

... looking over the customer's shoulder to check if your skyline's doing alright.

haha i have a list of mods aswell, i thought i was the only geek :cheers:

when you know the servo guy's name and he notices if you don't show for a week :cheers:

Week? I'm filling up two or three times a week (not a whole tank though). Of course I do work at one ...

when you're drinking beers at home you sit in it and make wooshing noises

when you don't turn the air conditioning on, even in 40degree heat

when you're talking to a girl and instead of saying you've never lost your license.. you tone it down to "just this onë time"

:P

when your waiting for 2 weeks for parts to come from japan!!!!!

Try waiting 2 months for parts to come wrong 3 times from Japan, only to be told they had to put it on paper and draw it and take measurements to send instead...

... you pop your hood everytime after your drive the car to see if everythings in working order, or just to look at the engine in awe.

YES! I TRY TO FIND SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

hehe i can relate to most of that well almost 100% haha.

when your mates say "man this is not your skyline..." when you try taking corners at double the speed then the signs quote.

when you try to see how fast you can go around corners or roundabouts before the tyres squeal and carry on.

when everyone gives you dirty looks or evils because they think your speeding.

when every car in front of you is not doing the speed limit exactly you then try to pass thinking they are going to slow for you.

when everyone wants to ride in your car.

when you know you shouldn't but you do it anyway. :( (you know what I'm talking about)

when you won't let anyone drive your skyline unless you are telling them how too.

when sitting in the passenger seat or anyone else's car feels weird.

when you drive another car and wait for the power to come on but it never does.

when you know you should be spending money on something more important but you don't.

when you tell yourself that an R34 GTR is not that expensive and you can make it if you work this many hours and months. (hehe true for me)

when you feel like every car at night approaching is the cops.

when you slow down and wait for cops to pass and then decide to floor it.

when you look for P's and anyone else to race...

When you get yelled at by your neighbour for doing 35 in a 50km/h zone. (Too loud)

Then the next day copping a lecture how we, Skyline drivers, are the cause for todays bad driving.

I just said "That's super interesting", and winded the window up while she was talking.

Good to know we have great neighbours

Haha I can relate. I told my neighbours to go f**k herself cuz she thought I was speeding in out court (loud exhaust) was actually the neighbours mum. He is a cop. Comes to my door to talk to me and whilst he was talking told him to get off my f**king property and slammed the door in his face :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
