Here in Sydney, most people in 'lines are watching the road and trying to avoid collisions.

its like the wacky races some days.....

I usually try to wave to other skylines ( or flash the lights at night)

Most people wave back.......except for this one time I pulled up along this black R33 GTST on the Gore Hill Freeway with 2 Asians inside, rolled down my windows grinning and waving.

They must have thought I was from immigration or something.......because they braked hard ( from the outside lane) and took the turnoff, leaving me bewildered at my friendly gesture gone horribly wrong.

From now on i'll wait for people to wave at me before i wave back:)

hahahah ummm errr it was most prob stolen :)

A friendly nod and smile at traffic lights:uh-huh: followed by a perve on what they're driving is where I'm at at the moment. Flashing lights and flailing arms at skyrods passing in the opposite direction I haven't progressed to yet, however if someone did it to me I'd do it back for sure.:wavey:

What a great plate "SKYROD"

Luv it !

I think alot of skyline owners are becoming like, dare I say, Supraman.

Would I correct in makingg this judgement?

Doc it a shame to say you would be correct. Maybe it's just the ones we see in the area...:)

My friend has a wrx and says that the old school wrx drivers wave but the new ones dont.

That's true. With my old ricebox, opps WRX, older people would give me the thumbs up and smile. Young people just want to drag you and get that "mines bigger than yours" feeling.

I was at the servo the other day (I had a car full of people too) , when this young bloke gets out a Commonwhore, gives my car a look, then gives me the two thumbs up "that's tops" Chief style. So I gave him a :) back. (His other car must have been a Skyline)

It's good when people you don't know give you a sign of appreciate of your car ! Makes you feel good.

here's a suggestion///

why don't we come up with a stringent gesture/action specially designed exclusively for Skyline owner's to say 'hi there, fellow skyline owners'...(no guyz.. this doesn't mean u can start following chicks in lines to their home!!) This common understanding may assist the following ;

1. to avoid the slight uneasiness feeling of the rebuffed rejection, and unacknowledged snubness...

2.to avoid the feeling of the receipent of your 'animated hello' pressing the panic button of his/her's quiktrack system believin dat this weirdo is making an unlawful attempt ...

3.demonstrate that 'most' skyline owners are quite intelligent ppl and are capable discliplined and upmost uncompetitiveness communication !!! :lol:

so how abt it???

Would you guys wave at a HR30 Skyline turbo coupe?

If anyone is brave enough to wave at an old school Skyline like mine I will definitely return the favour.

p.s

I aslo own a Rex and all the Rex club members wave at each other. Passengers in my car usually think I am on drugs though

How bout "I reckon pinky finger and ring finger folded in palm with other 3 fingers up and palm out. So hand basically makes a "K" "

http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...ght=hand+signal

No, how bout we just keep waving, don't loose sleep about the non-wavers. I reckon some SAU stickers would help tho.

|R34| and MIZ-33T are always up for a wave !!!!

Good to see that we all try to wave to each other.

Definitely agree that SAU stickers would help !

BTW, I waved at a Line down on Pittwater Rd today - He didn't wave back - but hey , I felt good about it !!

Cheers all !!

bleh..there are too many snobby skyliners out there nowadays..I've waved and been ignored (but the drivers of the other cars next to the Skyline have waved at me! LOL)

I'll wave if they're looking, or it's a car i recognise :uh-huh:

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
