Its hard to tell which ones are the douchebags and which ones are the nice skyline owners so at the lights 90% of the time if i pull next to another sports car i dont make eye contact i case they think im trying to race them coz usually thats wat happens....or they yell something at you (sydney is just getting worse imo). so sometimes im not giving the cold shoulder, its just being cautious. but when ever i do see a fellow skyliner and we both nod/wave it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. lol

i give waves to skyline drivers up here in FNQ, but funnily enough they just sorta look at me in my car and go "what the??? why is this person waving at me in their volvo?"

great tho when i see another stag tho (theres only like 4 or 5 up here) and yeh we are like "OH MY GOD ITS ANOTHER STAGEA HIIIIIIIII" lol

but yes i do notice that a lot of D1ckheads are buying skylines nowadays, real shame too

Some of you guys need to stop being so sensitive.

It may come as a surprise, but not everyone who buys a "insert car" wants to be apart of a car gang based on the car they drive. Some of these blokes might think your actually trying to crack onto to them or something.

Yes but for a skyline its not a car that you buy coz it was cheap and will get you from a to b, you bought because you like them and you would pay attention to others, if only to see what they have and get some idea's for you own, atleast thats why i look at other peoples, im not sensitive at all, in fact i couldnt give a shit if people just look straight ahead, i will still check there car out.

Also just noticed that you own an rx7, after owning one myself i have found some rx7 owners to be very ignorant and self righteous, usually the more they have on there rotary the worse they are, your sig says it all really.

i had a guy in a supra check out my R31 when we were at the traffic lights once lol.

was fairly strange but cool

ive gotten some waves from younger R31 owners but all the later skyline owners dont recognise my car as a skyline :thumbsup:

I saw a guy a few months back with a four door r32. He had a queen size mattress on top of his car, roped through the cabin with the windows down driving along the highway. I dont think he really cares at all :thumbsup:

I wave at as many skyline drivers as I can. I see nice ones all the time, they are everywhere. so I try to chuck out a wave or a thumbs up where ever I can, but most of the time, I get nothing back. so I am almost gonna give up. lol.

I saw this really like 32 drift car in a trailer last night and i was doing the thumbs up for about a whole 20 seconds right infront of him, and nothing. I dont think its a purpose arrogance.. Usually its a confusion thing, like. who is that person and are they waving at me?? Some people feel obligated to wave back. But I guess I just hand them out.

Sometimes I go driving to look for other skylines, and I get really happy even if all I get is a glance. I dont expect much.

i love nothing better than to be acknowledged by another skyline

i gave a wave and a nod to a guy in an mr30 wagon in greenslopes the other day he cracked a smile and gave a big wave

im assuming that most "white frame / prada / gucci sunglass" wearing people wouldent know that there were skylines before the 32

anyways i f**king hate people with "white frame sunglasses / prada sunglasses / gucci sunglasses

I guess it comes down to how much money you have as to whether its cheap or not, i paid 15k for mine, i consider spending 2k as a cheap a-b car, which is what i paid for my nc fairlane.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
