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 :(

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
