If i see an import i will usually give a wave, this generally only applies to oncomeing traffic. If i have one follow me or infront of me, ill generally follow at a resonable distance

and give a "cya" flash of the lights when i turn off.

lol if someone flashed me i would just think wtf :S. i usually associate a flash of the lights with pull over haah

+1 to waving to a fellow skyline driver, although im sceptical they'd wave back,

have a question for you guys... what do you do when at the traffic lights, 2lanes turning into one, you have the right lane and a car pulls up in the left lane with there lane ending... do you put them in there place ( drag is on) or do you let them go??

I always feel the pressure that i should be infront and quite often will be tailgated by lesser powerful cars trying to prove they are fast or something... can be very irritating especially when your engine is cold and you dont want to be coming onto boost.

i always go in the left lane if im just chillen, as i see that as the slow/chill lane whilst the right lane is the fast/pass lane. imo if your in the right lane you should be ready to take the lead although if your warming up your car and dont want to hit boost yet then just go to the left

if im warmed up , ive become of the opinion of , well i only get so many squirts on these streets, if your going to take that lane then you obviously want to drag and challenge me so i just put the revs up and hose them off lol.....

if cold then i have to let them go.. living in jimboomba theres alot of long country roads so squirts are far and inbetween, have to make the most of squirts ,.. all in 80/90 zones so not illegal lol

how about a hand out the window waving while at the top of your voice yelling BYE, while you pass at 120 in 3rd :P

Hahahaha, that should be the official way every skyline owner has to do it lol :thumbsup:

I always try to wave.

Sometimes just don't see them in time....

And with the bikes, a lot don't give the nod, I do, its a you're interested in what I'm interested in thing.

Most of the imports that don't wave back are generally people who arnt enthusiasts.

as a new silvia owner. ive noticed that other silvia owners dont acknowledge you in a wave, but they have the tendancy to stupidly rev their motors and let off BOV noises, or rip skids.

kind of makes me want to get out of the silvia and back into a stag

When driving, I try to wave at any import Skyline I see regardless of model.

Don't often get a wave back but sometimes...

I get a giggle out of it so that's all that matters. I have always done it for any car I own.

My parents always waved, beeped or flashed other Kombies and Beetles back when I was a kid and we were a VW family.

On the other hand, I also give any driver a BIG WIDE EYED shake of the head and the Phone hand signal if they are on the mobile when driving.

Hope they can lip read too cause it's a very exagerated "get off the F#@Kin' Phone"!!! Phhhhtttt. some people... I dunno... Who needs 'em. :glare:

Most of the time I don't bother waving as I get the feeling I wouldn't receive one back. However I still have done it sometimes in the past...

FYI - Police are exempt from the mobile phone law. ;)

Oh - how come that's not well known?

I certainly don't expect you - our friendly copper - to change the law; but it would certainly help goodwill between the public and the force if it was publicised that the police are not only required to be able to use the radio whilst driving, but also the mobile.

So I take it that police do not have to have sirens/lights on to be able to use the mobile whilst in motion?

We the public can get pinged for using the mobile after having pulled over to the kerb, but still have the engine idling eh?

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
