The Skyline code...

[Flaps]

I've had my skyline for about 6 weeks now and i was starting to believe that most skyline owners are full of themselves or think they are better then you, like most of the ones in the city

Until today...

This morning, i was driving to work and i spotted a White R33 GTR in the back ground, i slowed to take a closer look, he pulled up beside me and clearly it had some money put into it. Suddenly the driver of about 35-45 gave me a wave! I was stunned, there are actually friendly/respectfull skyline drivers out there.

And to confirm this code of respect, only 30 mins ago i pulled up next to a replica of mine but white and was beaten to the wave.

Im glad to see that there actually is a code of respect between Skyline owners, a bit like the code between motor bikes.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it pisses me off :cuss:

Have a nice day everyone!

Some skyline owners ( myself included) are too busy keeping their eyes on the road , avoiding accidents and preserving our cars we spent so much time and money on....

having said that, I dont see anything wrong with waving, and if you can SAFELY do so, go for it..........

[Jamezilla]

I always wave or flash my lights.

Have received either the same or the bird in return.

I guess even bad people can drive nice cars.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

yah usually a wave or a thumbs up does the trick

[sammus]

is this the same r33 gtr you saw? i took this shot late last year and was just wondering

[Flaps]

nah wasn't that one, had GTR-??? plates also had a black front lip.

Saw it on epping rd very close to Macquarie Uni

too many people out there these days driving a 33 to wave anymore I think.. most just these days think "hmm, do i know this guy?". Thats maybe the confused look you are getting, thats what happens when people do it to me

Yah i know what you mean, i sometimes pull up next to or pass another skyline owner and normally get a wink or wave. quite often people dont look twice at mine as it looks pretty stock, but its all good once they hear the turbs. ehhee

Actually got a hotel upgrade and cheaper price once i told the hotel attendant that my car was a skyline, as he too had one.

My girl coudn't believe it....

I usually give the "nod"....

I try to wave at every Skyline I see, even Sillotette's or however you spell them, because they are Skyline's too Yeah get a lot of wierd looks, and only a couple of waves, have not tried flashing high beams but would expect a fist in return

Ahh i rememebr those days .. like back in 2000 when my mate had a silvia .. there wernt many down my way (in sydney) and it was such an exitement to see another s13.. you would give the kombi wave..

Now im living up here in QLD if i gave a wave to ever r32,33,34 i saw my hand would fall off

[Jimbo2000]

i'm starting to feel the way you did.

whenever i am driving close to another line going the same direction i try to get along side, match speed and glance over often to get their attention, but i just keep getting the stare ahead...

I don't know what it's like now Duncan but when I lived in the Territory you waved at EVERY car on the road (well highway anyway, not in town) and 90% of people returned it.

I even tried to give the people I overtook a wave because I knew that I just scared the shit out of them by backing off as I passed. (I had a tickled 308 and two hot dogs, no muffler, quite advanced timing and flames out the back on a big back off )

[R32Big_boy]

I had a white R34 behind me today with a FMIC on burwood hwy. he pulled up beside me, i looked over and nooded. He droped a gear or two and left me in is smoke. :thumbdwn:

Scooby owners in the UK often wave or nod at each other according to my friend. Also, kit-car owners do it too.

It must be awesome to see somebody else with a car similar to yours that is as rare as a Skyline, give them a respectful wave and get one in return

[riggaP]

I usually give the "nod"....

Me too, with a smile

[krptr]

I always give the ol' wave but mostly seem to get ignored... dont give a shit really cos every now and then youll give the wave and end up talking to someone whose not up themselves and is in love with cars and skyline in particular.

we definetly should start a skyline wave though... any ideas?
