hahaha when i first got my liner i used to drive around and other skyline drivers would wave.. i was fully like 'wtf' and then squish told me its a 'thing' they all do.. i'd usually wave back but i kinda felt like a knob waving to someone i didnt know lol but nah i didnt have any abusive ones.. they were all nice, even if i was waiting for traffic so i could pull out, they would stop and let me go.. aww so nice ;) lol

are you good looking?

if the answer is yes, then there's your explanation :D

i wave and flash my lights at any skyline driver ... some wave back beep or flash back ones that dont i found out are usually boostloosers with stickers everywhere .. causing havok in traffic trying to show off how fully sick their bov is ? otherwise generally speacking 90% drivers are pretty cool pull up for a chat etc.. thats how i met lynden ! ma white kiwi twin !!

ive found that other skyline drivers ignore me if i wave at them in brisbane. in smaller towns like bundaberg and toowoomba skyline drivers are more than happy to pull over and have a chat to you. i guess people in the city are just rude...

Its really wierd.... I used to own a RX7 and fellow Rotary drivers would wave all the time, if i knew them or not! now i would be lucky to get a nod let a lone a wave (not that im looking for one-- i dont give a shit) in my skyline, and no most rotary drivers dont wave any more! (lol) :(

I have seen many rude skyline owners. Personally I tend to smile and nod not so much wave. Vish I was too busy drooling over your car and trying to read the plates backwards. Theres one chick in particular and its not Amy Lee, with a white 33 and black bonnet, along Johnson Rd that has snobbed myself and my friend in his car .............totally rude.

All of us cefiro owners give the nod or the wave... But the numbers are still pretty low.

I guess its to do with them being more common, its not AS special to own one these days as compaired to when the whole thing started. So now its just another skyline. Where as even 3 years ago it was hey look another skyline!

Thats my theory anyway.

a turbocharged bronze r31 stole fuel from my work this morning around 3.30am

rude prick has no idea how much paperwork i have to fill out when that happens :):)>_<

heh lucky i had a whinge, someone from the 31 owners club spotted this and pointed me at a thread where a 31 had been stolen on the same night.

yep it was the same car.

so working with the owner and the police to track the f**kers down.

this thread pwns :)

Yer hopefully he can get it back in one piece, putting a RB30DET in a 31 is good, but you need alarms in them to stop this happening...

I drive a 31, most people in 32, 33 and 34's don't take much notice of me. :(

i guess u only take notice if you are a previous owner of a 31. Then again alot of 31 owners snub me :cool:

I see plenty of lines between home, work and uni (between Munruben and Upper Mt Gravatt).

I can count the number of friendly liners on 1 hand... and that was a certain Yellow R34 with a nice loud stereo :cool:

Usually I get asians or middle easterns (no racisim) here, and they look at me confused when I wave.... they just don't understand.

That said, I saw a little white boy today in his car "SMOKE U" who seems to visit browns plains... nice driving dude... honestly, just put a new sticker on your car that says "Pull me over".

I use to have a Silver 4 door R32 with a big front mount who'd wave at me along mt lindsay highway in the 90 zone (around granger/stoney camp rds).

Now I'd be lucky to see a line not driven by a bogan. But that's what happens when the locals get some cash and realise the potential of a skyline... bummer they usually don't pick decent ones that are clean and tidy :(

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
