hey guys, i was driving down the Cumberland hwy yesterday and i saw a v35 coupe like mine, and i gave a signal, well its nothing major but i didn't get one back i drove past and that v got stuck in traffic and a bit later it caught up with me and gave me a nod back... just wondering how many of you out there do nod or whatever when you see a fellow v35? do you? don't you?

....obviously i do salute/signal/nod whatever you wanna call it :D

I dont wave/salute/signal when i see one.............but thats only becuase i dont own a V.......Just yet.

But i can tell you im always supper exited to see one, and stare at it worse than a ladyfriend bending over.

Hence i cant wait to go crazy flashing my lights and sounding my horn when im in my future V, and i see another V coming towards me.

Probably now... Yes...

But...

in a few years time when V35 becomes as common as R33/R34....

then you may ask the question again...

does someone who drives Toyota RAV4 do salute to another Toyota RAV4 driver?

does someone who drives Ford Falcon do salute to another Ford Falcon driver?

does someone who drives BMW 535i do salute to another BMW 535i driver?

nah they don't, but usually import drivers especially Nissans whether its the skyline to the silvia's, and 180sx... i know they salute each other even though they are quite common now.

to be honest i don't see a lot of skylines (any model) these days anyway. there might be a lot more than there use to be but to me there still quite rare.

Exactly. When I first bought my R33 all those years back they were less common than the V35 is now so a wave was always on, but as the years went there was no way I was going to wave every few minutes.

Ditto will happen with the V35.

Call me anti-social but I havent ever bothered with the V35 salute. Perhaps because I am yet to see a female driving one :P

MILLOS - I also do the bike nod but since im only on a 250 my nodding partners are restricted. The guys on bigger bikes dont to noobs, and there is no way i want to be seen nodding to a scooter... unless the rider is wearing a skirt.

I also ride a 250, for the last 5 1/2 years, hahaha. But I've finally put it on the market and want to upgrade now. I normally ride with the big boys, because I'm the only one now that has not updated, so everyone normally nods back on the bike.....but you're right, there's no way I want to be seen nodding to a scooter either....hahaha. Although the better half says that if I get a scooter she will get on the bike with me....she's too scared on the 250.

Back on the V's, yeah a lot of times I don't get a wave/flash back...sometimes I do. Although I don't see many at all on the streets just yet. But like it was said before, I suppose they're not part of this club.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
