Heyas

I've been to more than a few meets. and I have to ask.

Why are people so unkind?

No, really. I walk around the meets with a grin on my grille, introduce myself and start talking about shite. How come so many of u guys are hands-in-pocket type lookin-at-tarmac type non mingling elitist mf's ?

Seriously. It shits me. I dont go to these meets to say howdy to people and get the same sorta response that I might get if I try to teach my labrador a card trick. Sure shes looking at me but what the frig, is there any activity in the brain? Crikey.

All I'm asking guys, is that u take the cork out of your arse and say hello to people u dont know. Mingle a bit. Lifes to short.

K. Thx. Bai.

Laik. Dohmar.

dont feel no love from the sau crew hey not all people find it easy to go up and speak to someone they dont know ive had the same thing happen to me but there are also some people on here that are willing to talk think it all comes down to how we all feel on the night :thumbsup:

haha little random but ok. I know what you mean though at meet ups people tend to chill by them selves or in there own little groups etc. Each to there own though, If you cant spark up a convo with one person just walk along to the next,lol. You drive a white R32 GTR like myself so I'll make sure to introduce myself at the next meet. :thumbsup:

hey its the car scene, people like to bitch/complain, be anit-social, think they are better than other people, who cares, just find the guys who are nice to chat to and make new friends. and i think a lot of people are shy with the car scene and duno what to say about what. introduce urself first to the people hands in pockets and they will probably chat. if not rip a skid :lol:

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into it Ben......I think some of the younger ones might be a bit shy. I get on with some folk better than others and sometimes I'm guilty of not spreading myself around so I hope no one takes it wrong and thinks that I'm not approachable.......come and say hi peeps, I won't tear your head off, lol.

last night was too cold to be sociable lol, i stood there trying not to freeze, still chatted to people i had no idea who they were, but agreed, were all there for the same reason, i normally chat to people when im out there, if i know them or not, if someone comes upto me i'll definately have a convo with them.

hate that shit! on the first cruise i only met a few guys! but most people were like look at me and i look back and they turn and go a different direction! what's wrong? do i really look that dodgey?

anyway Pete! as for you, you're big and was wearing a harley davison tshirt and rocked up in a mint chopper just spelt bikie to me! not insulting you in anyway but it was just my ignorant judgement but it still didn't stop me from saying gday

Ben, I've had the same experiences some times, but it takes all kinds. Most are friendly, but just take a while to warm up. I put it down in part to the fact that I am so much older than many o0f you guys, but those who have had a chat probably realise I am the biggest kid out there and they are much more mature than me.

My other theory is that if we had social skills we would have girlfriends rather than cars. LOL

That's sad, going to a meet where every one stands around and nobody actually meets.

Sadly I think it's a side effect of the playstation generation, when I was young we all played in the streets or parks and knew every kid in the estate. It was a very social upbringing, with the generations coming through today a lot of them don't have the social skills.. reason being social skill are learnt through social interaction and become natural/comfortable over time. You don't get it free in the ps3 bundle, p.c or sitting alone in a room chatting online. As you've seen first hand, throw them in a social situation and they'll all just mill around until something happens....which seldom does.

We've bred a generation of malformed/unadjusted nublets.

Offer you're hand to shake and they'll take it as some sort of adversarial test.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of good-social younger people, they seem to be the ones who's parent/s actually had a go at parenting instead of leaving it up to the TV/ps3.

I think its more of a case that people lack the confidence to just approach a group and introduce themselves. I know i do, its no crime. Its just how i am.

I did recognise alot of cars, i saw yours just before we were about to leave Dohmar, but no-one was next to the car, otherwise i would have come introduced myself. Next time, ill bring my "Hello my name is stickers" to make it easier for everyone :(

if i ever make it out to one of the meets again, ill talk to ya dude!!

ive met heaps of cool people off here, havent met one bad one yet and plenty of people willing to talk about cars or just random crap.

Oh yeah I'll still go to the meets and that. I just think people need to loosen up and lrn2party... I was the bloke in the black coat incidentally, and while I spoke to some cool people I'm more talking about people hanging around in little grps. And of course the ones lacking in confidence *shrug* I'm not going to eat your brains or anything...

-D

damo this calls for some drastic measures!!! "hello my name is" name tags!!!!

I have them here all printed and ready to go. I didnt think the turnout was gonna be that big tho! Thats why i didnt take them with me last night.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
