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:)

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:

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...:)

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" "

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:

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
