SUP.

this thread is for community spirit i guess... this thread is about..

let's list the imported / JDM / AUDM japanese cars that you do and don't "wave" or "give the thumbs up" to... feel free to elaborate on why you do it..

me:

GIVE KUDOS TO:

R32 Skylines - you guys are a good bunch who usually spread love back

C34 Stageas - again, you guys are a good bunch of blokes, who usually aren't afraid to give a wave if someone's waving @ u

Z30 Soarers - I'd rather not cos most of them are Ugandan

Z20 / Z10 Soarers - these i go nuts for. anyone driving this in 2011 deserves a medal

Ke70 corolla / JZX series cars / any and all bizzare imports like Y34 / Y31 / A31 / C210 / MA61 / JZA70 / R31 etc.. i give it up for these dudes daily..

I DONT GIVE KUDOS TO:

WRX - these guys are not cut from the same cloth

EVO - these guys tend to thumb their nose at me

Nissan Z cars - again, usually driven by owners who just dont "get it"

R33, R34, V35 drivers - again, most of these drivers particularly R33 drivers dont show love to me they just look down their noses at me so i show no love to them.. i'm also noticing an increase of drivers of these cars who are not on the forum so i dont bother... sorry guys!

M35 stageas - just no.

Galant / Legnum drivers - again these owners seem to think they're exempt from showing love to JDM owners..

what about you guys? do you have a "no" list?

a yes list? what is it and why

If i know the person down here (ie bunbury) i wave, otherwise the rest i dont bother as they hoon around and cause trouble. Up in perth if i'm driving the 32, which hasnt happened in a while, i will wave if they wave pretty much. The early Z's down here are usually tucked away and don't come out much, these guys i chat to a bit when i work in town and we get along ok. Silvias are the same, quite a few down here are kids and arent polite

Dan i am SO NOT on your no list. and you know that.

im on your YES list!!!!

and bubba - obviously i wave to R33/34 owners that i know / previous customers i've served etc! :) those guys get a wave

if i feel spicy i even give then a double peace sign out the sunroof - you know you got me going when you get one of them!

my other no list: X-trails! :P

another thing i have on my "no love" list:

any Nissan S series cars. they're jealous of me i think. give me daggers everytime so i just glare back like this:

OH AND AND AND!!! one more thing!!!!

i was outside washing my car the other day at 6pm on a friday, as you do... and i hear

VvvvvvRRRRRRMMMMM PSSSSHHTTTtut tu... VrrRRrrrRRrooOOOOPSHHTTTtttu tu tu...

casually driving up my street, head down to see what it is...

it's a mid 1980's datsun stanza with an RB engine and a tiny little polite front mount.. and some wide 15inch rims...

i wave.. car flashes beams at me and waves back...

the driver:

A hot brunette with a sexy fringe and black frame gasses. cute as hell.

im in love.

Hot. BRB stairwell.

why not an M35 Stagea?

whats wrong with us?

I get snobbed by every M35 I come across. The only M35 driver I haven't been snobbed by was andynogo but I ran into him on foot at the shops :P

Oh and a few of us C34 boys rolled into Carousel HJs carpark on night before heading into the hills. There was a couple of R33s, and R34 and maybe an S13.. there was also a towtruck driver near us eating dinner. Some smart ass skyline driver was like "huhuhuh the towtrucks here to pick the Stageas up" :dry:

So before we left, we watched one of the Skylines being put on the back of another flat bed that rocked up :rofl:

Unfortunately, that was the night I snapped my gearbox :(

P.S. Aaron, I love your avatar :laugh:

Eps man, yumad4? You do a lot of raging about people not waving to you :P

Me, I wave to all imports if I see them in time. And if I'm driving next to one, I give them some bov love and a wave :D I hardly ever get any love back though. Most people look at me like I'm a nutjob. Others think I want to race so they just take off...

At least... :ermm: At least I think that's why they take off... :unsure:

:(

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
