Hi Folks,

Just wondering what (if anything) Skyline drivers do when they see another Skyline on the road ??

* Do you give them wave ?

* Flash your lights ?

* Nothing - just ignore them ?

* Perve at at the car and wonder what rwkw it is has

* Wonder what sort of skank rides with the dude ?? (or what sort of dude rides with the skank - can't be sexist here eh ??)

Recently I've driven past heaps of Skylines and I always look at the driver to give them a wave to say - nice car man,,,,, But all drivers seem to be in their own world. (Maybe they are concentrating on driving.......)

What do you do ????

I wave every skylines that I pass. My return wave ration is about 10%. Pretty average i think. I guess alot of them dont know about enthusiast clubs such as this. Feels pretty stupid when they dont wave back but I'll continue to do it anyway.

I only wave or beep or flash other R32 GTST's..

If I was to wave at every skyline on the road, I'd get a sore arm.

One other thing.. there are some skyline owners around that think that they are somehow better than others.. you know.. the ones that look down their nose at you or give you the I'm-a-sick-c*nt-so-I-have-the-right-to-stare-at-you look.

err, how can i wave to them if 90% of them were showing off their bovs and showed their 'i-can-eat-your-car-anytime-i-want-you-loser' face to me :blah:

i guess all skyline owners have to join this forum so they know the etiquette or perhaps a full colour page 'skyline owners etiquettes' on SMH? :)

My passengers think i'm wierd!

i usually flash my lights or give a bit of a wave, nothing too overboard. it also depends on who is driving the the other car...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
