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 :D

Wow great job at being civil. Perhaps if you were friendly and explained the reasoning for why she might have thought you were speeding when you weren't might have gotten you somewhere.

If you talk to a cop like that then he will go out of his way to mess with you.

And if they do that they are not behaving like a Police Officer should be and they get in trouble like an unfortunate Constable up my way :yes:

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

I work in a servo and this happens all the time. I have plenty of regulars I see either daily or a few times a week. But none of them are skylines!

Seriously, I see Skylines drive past all the time, and none of you come visit me :P

what servo though haha

-you know that downforce actually helps

-you spending ages thinking/searching for ridiculously sized rims (18x14s)

-you avoid cops at all cost (well maybe that's a victorian thing)

-you plan trips are where BP station are.

-you plan ridiculous modifications to the car, research parts that you ll never buy or be able to afford.

You know you drive a skyline when:

-you have developed a highly sensitive "skyline sense" that tingles the back of your neck and makes you feel paranoid whenever you are within a few hundred meters of police presence and/or camera's, far before any of your mates even realise there are cops to their amazement

-Your car has a strange power which effects the minds of a small portion of australias population. Causing them to momentarily slip into a rage of swearing and making obscene gestures at your car, whilst you drive at 5kph under the limit. Otherwise friendly looking old ladies seem to be the most susceptible to this mysterious power.

-parking your car near a group of 30-40yr old blokes that are standing around chatting, has the uncanny effect of steering their conversation in the direction of bathurst in the early 90's.

Both already said:

You know you drive a Skyline when you see another Skyline on the road and feel compelled to tell everyone else within earshot.

You drive your $30,000 350Z as a daily because you don't want to wreck your $8000 R32 GTST

"..you drive it slowly on the road just to admire your ride on the reflection of the glassy-buildings, and you tell yourself "Damn..that's hot!" lol"

Guilty!

when you see stove plate lights in the distance at night and go to catch up to see if it's a skyline, only to find out it's not a skyline lolz.

when you wash and chammy your car, and you inspect the paintwork meticulously for any chips, bugs and tar, then spend hours fixing, polishing.

when you have the local tow truck on speed dial!

when the local auto parts shops know you on a first name basis.

when you just have to have the skyline under cover when parked.

when your suspension is harder than the V8 supercars(a twig feels like a branch when you run over it).

Guilty of all three. Expect the local parts shop knows me by face only. Not name yet. I keep changing where I buy stuff.

You know you drive a skyline when you rejoice at a local businesses bankruptcy because it means there's a parking spot available where you can see you car from your desk.

LOL - agreed. It takes me hours to get over even minor damage I've just noticed ;p

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
