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 :D

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! ;)

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 try to wave at every Skyline I see, even Sillotette's or however you spell them, because they are Skyline's too :D 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

keep waving everyone!

:wavey:

Spoken by Duncan for the Keep Waving Party, Alice Springs.

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 :rolleyes:)

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?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
