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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
