A smile and wave from the driver of a car that someone really likes can brighten up someones day.

I was pissed at this jacked up pickup truck once that cut me off, then saw a maserati gran turismo with an elderly man driving, he gave me a smile and thumbs up...that made my day

Makes sense...

A wave > brightens one's day :thumbsup:

Cutting in (or lane hog) > pisses one off :down:

well in my job, i do a lot of driving out west, were there are pretty much 2 lane roads everywhere, and as such i always give the little wave to the on coming driver, to me the little wave is saying hi yes i'm all good, hope you are ok sort of thing.

to me it's just common curdesy to do so, and i never expect a wave back, but is always nice when it happens.

also, it is surprising me how many people are still doing the little wave thing now adays in the city.

I wave to coppers, they always give me a wtf look then I give them a thumbs up :thumbsup::laugh:

a few times they smile & wave back, but mostly the wtf look

And then I thought...

when I was 22 and sat next to a G/F who had a Charger > kids would stick up a "V" sign with their fingers and yell out "CHARGER" in response to a very successful TV Ad campaign.

valiant charger for $2759? I'll take 3

i used to to this too. had a beer at the pub with a bloke who turned out to be an off duty cop with a skyline. i started waving at all cops and got wtf looks from all the other cops for a month or so then they all started waving at me and no more RBTs :whistling:

cars been off the road so long now i fear when its going again i will be a target again >_<

Can I assume your wave was a genuine one (since they're conditioned to read body language) and not a smart-ass one? :yes:

I always give the :thumbsup: when ppl Give acknowledgement to my car even when they just like it coz its turbo.

Always would let another import in or just stop in traffic to let them turn in etc

But then had alot of import drivers tell me buy a real turbo stageas are a family car :domokun: i just think WTF !!!

But yeah anyone that gives acknowledgement to the car I would :thumbsup:

I always wave to guys in imports and nice cars in general. I find a lot of the hot-rod guys will wave back were as most of the import guys just look at you blankly. Funny that when your in an import there's not a mutual wave. If your both on a bike there is always the mutual nod.

can we please make it a rule, that if your a member of this site you must wave at all great and and not so great skylines in the future:). it should be a question when signing up haha "do you agree to wave".

Best suggestion I've heard for a while. :rolleyes:

Those Alfa Romeo dudes can't have this behaviour all to themselves!

In fact, I'll grab my wife's hand and wave it - she's always wanted to be the queen.

Didn't they tell you? Those alfa boys waving at each other is their SOS signal for 'help! my (X) has broken' or 'my (Y) has fallen off!'

I call it the F.I.A.T effect

btw waved at a divvy van today, the guy pointed at me as if to say "I'm watching you" :rofl2:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
