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:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
