spotted a couple of r33's and an r34 along the esplanade at surfers yesterday arve. until then i thought the 'skyline wave' was just a myth!

it was the first time in years i had been on the esplanade at surfers and it was just as i remembered - full of bogans driving and checking out cars and generally trying to stare people down (haha it would make me angry if it wasn't so funny >_<). Me and my mate were having a coffee in broady and saw a few 'drive-by'ers' in pimped black merc's and an older supra with a gold front mount and the hilarity got to use and we said "f*ck yeah, let's do an esplanade cruise!"

saw a 'supra crew', a 'rich crew' (2005 M5, 350z etc), an 'early 90's/late 80's 3 series beewee crew', a 'baggy shorts, socks pulled up, hate 3/4 sideways minitruck and van crew', a 'wog crew' and of course - a little 'skyline crew'!

I honestly wasn't expecting it, but every skyline I saw the driver gave a wave! Seriously, in a culture full of tossers and dudes with small penis's, i felt pretty proud to be part of a crew that actually is friendly and cool about the fact that they just like their cars and can appreciate others who like the same car rather than trying to outdo and intimidate each other.

I was so high on the vibe i gave a few waves to everyone else i saw and just got a few tough guy looks, a few confused "holy shit, what do i do!? umm "Whatever dude" " looks, but sif I cared!

to anyone that waved to my standard looking white 33 with the old school volks on it (now), and the large but super quiet (and prolly hell restrictive) nismo exhaust - Peace!! You guys rock!!

I was probably the 34, if it was a white 4 door that you spotted...

Can't specifically remember your car though and if i waved, but at the very least i would've given the nod...

>_<

Not all us skyline drivers are bad... :(

spotted a fairly bright red R33 GTR with what looked to be 19 or 20" CE28's in white also sounded very mean this was on road between the beach and shopping centre on surfers paradise. I was wondering if this person is on SAU and if anyone has any photo's the car looked great.

Leech my man - you are a long way from home. A few hours North to Hervey Bay and you will have arrived at my new home. Canberra was getting too cold for these old bones.

Still own the store in Canberra and will be bouncing between the two locations for a while yet.

Hey Marc,

Yea bloody hell it's nice weather up here :P up on surfers paradise till Friday for Tech Ed. Staying in the Avalon apartments on the river not a bad joint although a bit of a hike to the convention centre. I will have to try and convince the missues to let me take us on a road trip to fraser island that way i can pop in and say hi :D

oooh your sneeky.. where were u sorry man if i didnt wave bk.. was in my own world..

You were in the very right hand lane as you always are, and I was in the left lane.. I swear the left lane isn't as quick as it used to be.. Usually I can get ahead of so many cars in the left lane and switch into the right hand lane just before the entry before Southbank.. Know what I mean? :laugh:

:P That's just wierd... what's the chances of seeing both your cars on the same day... :)

haha i know i also found it quite funny....

:laugh:

Oh another note.. spotted will in his Golf leaving work on friday... :ermm:

AND spotted quite a few liners on Saturday morning up Cootha way... I was in Sim's 32 (FYN32)

And DAYYYYYM do Miss Niz's new wheels look HAWT!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
