on the way to lala yesterday i drove along south road with a guy in a gunmetal grey 32 gtr. apparently his other car is identical but with big turbos, hks cams, power fc etc and makin heaps of power.......he was tryin to jokingly say something was missing in the top end of the stocker GTR lol :ninja:

good to talk to (and not be snubbed by) a fellow skyline owner.........especially of that calibre (compared to my shitter now rolling on 14" stockies :dry: )

Spotted Vange yesterday afternoon on Goodwood road. I was waiting to pick up my friends right at the opposite of the Capri theater. Obviously didn't get a chance to raise my hand to say hi.

Also spotted a black r33 with a stealth wing on west terrace. I was at the light of gouger/west terrace. I flashed once to greet but unfortunately I got a "weird-looking-back" from the passenger. Not just once thou... i had the same "weird-looking-back" again this afternoon on west terrace. Hmm.... I guess all skyline drivers should look cool.....no saying hi to each other........ ( I am nearly giving up of being a nice line driver....... :/ ) :)

thats why we need stickers to identify who uses sau forums and who dont. either on side quarter, rear window or along the front side of front windscreen. you feel like an idiot after greeting another skyline owner who just give you that 'wdf look'.

awww dont give up hope bixby ill wave hello if i see you early enough :D

Thanks mate.... I'll definitely give it a try again..... :D Or maybe I should drive my car fast from now on - fast enough for not having a chance to wave! :D

Hopefully the next person I see on the road is one of SAUs.

I think you are absolutely right!! Don't want to be an idiot anymore for being a friendly skyline driver!

Well if no one is wiling to make them - there was discussion on here about it before, Im just going to get a one off for myself. I see soo many skylines and without any identification, I dont know whether to compliment the owner or just have a quick look as I pass and be done with it. The thing is most skyline owners in SA dont frequent these forums and if you say nice car or hey are you on SAU they are just like 'WDF' or snubb you off completely. At with a sticker, they can say oh I saw a xxxx color skyline with a sau sticker rather then I saw this xxxx car whose was it? Some ppl say it attracts unwanted attention but I think otherwise especially if its discrete.

I've still got the designs i made up a while ago

If you need a high-res adobe illustrator file i can send that to you to take to your sticker maker.

They'll be a meeting for small car sunday organising this sunday, i'll be taking along the sticker/banner sample. Hopefully if there is enough interest we can look at getting stickers done at the same time as the banner. But the best person to speak to at this stage is pkblade about that.

lol, I'll have one of each thanks !

seriously - they are both good designs (the 2 stickers in the link), would be good to get it off the ground. I might go on a USA website that does custom vinyl stickers and get a set made for myself, not that expensive.

oh - and LOLZ at the lad in the red Seca who raced past me on the expressway yesterday whilst turning back over his shoulder with a huge grin from ear to ear giving me a wave !! hahahaha *waves back* man your grin was HUGE :thumbsup:

Yeah there was a bit of a kafuffle about who was getting the stickers done, originally i was going to use a contact on the nissanexa.com club to get some samples but he's been flat out lately. So i think pkblade's might have someone else in mind for the final banner production and/or stickers - i'm not entirely sure, but i guess things will be closer to being finalised by this sunday.

Btw, there's one more design if you like

As mentioned before i've got all the illustrator files for each variation, just let me know and i'll shoot you a copy.

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
