Oh, so coz i get picked on and chose not to do anything, im in the wrong? i was way ahead of them and they flew through the traffic just to get to me.

i didnt even want to race them, wrong place and time and i dont do that kinda sh*t anyway. if anything i wanted to speed off to get away from them, but they got the idea after seeing i wasnt doing anythin.

lol as if i'll race a 300kw car anyway

lol you clearly said in ur next post that you "would have" (in reply to "you should have smoked them") if it weren't for you being next to a police station.

what u did in the end was fine, u shouldnt have "smoked them" unless u were happy with lowering urself to their level.

Lol yeah i did say that,,i jus meant te thought crossed my mind, but even as soon as i saw him start driving alongside me, i knew i wasnt gonna do it..was kinda hoping the other car was a cop car, so the r8 wud get busted :P ..but yeh im real glad i didnt do anythin,,i jus thought they were being idiots

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.

lol

wow! this is a big suprise to me! as a matter of fact i have been overwhelmed with the friendlyness of fellow skylines owners here in perth, im always exchanging waves etc.

when i drove a holden i noticed other holden owners were arrogant and never gave thumbs up

Maybe i should move to perth...

F***ing R33 drivers and their egos...really shitting me at the moment. And this is coming from an R33 driver!

The last 5 I've seen have come up really fast behind me in traffic / sat next to me "dosing" their heads off just to get my attention...but then when I look at them to wave or thumbs up they're just staring straight ahead trying to ignore me? Here I drew a diagram:

LOL... I drove past a chick with a white 32 that was similar to mine and smiled and waved and I got the cold shoulder. RUUUUUDDEE!! Yeah there are some arrogant ppl out there but at the end of the day and in the whole scheme of things does it really matter? It is a shame though that they think theyre better than others not to wave but meh. And maybe theyre just having a bad day?

I always try to wave at an oncoming skyline, if they see me. if there is a chance ( won't be waving while busy with the road and beeping the horn would make people worry )

When i drive around in r31 (wagon) i don't even try to wave, however i got some waves from other 31 owners, and always replied back. Hard to guess if it's a skyline or a grandpa in pintara as well... and don't feel like waving to "higher" model skylines too for some reason.

when driving in r33, again, some people don't even look, and some wave first or reply.

in terms of acknowledging the model, i notice there is a bit of a gap between 31 and the 32-34 models, and stagea too...

By the way, i started thinking about the actual waving thing only after registering at this forum. before, didn't have a clue, but most likely would be happy if someone had waved.

:dry:

At the moment I drive a Tarago. When ever I see another young person driving one I can generally converse with them ahaha. Its pretty entertaining.

I'm getting an R33 GTST. If I see another R33 driver Id give the nod of the head. Even now, I give the occasional nod to R33 drivers because I admire the car. I'm not getting the car to boast. Its just a car Ive always wanted and now that my license permit, I can finally own one.

Is there a Skyline AU sticker we can get for our car or something?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
