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?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
