I don't own one (yet) but a few mates have called them "Mummy's boys' cars" when the discussions ventured into cars. A couple of them would also mention how Supra's were better ... fans for the fnf movies :D

RE the top gear episode - I'm fairly sure the comment wasn't directed at Skylines but at GT2's (or a similar Porsche). It was the episode where they enter into the 24h race with a diesel BMW to use up their "bio fuel" they planted in the previous season.

I think this is it -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eZt9_7VV-I

EDIT--Wrong episode. It was the Alpha Romeo's Episode ->

--/EDIT

From memory, they've used a Skyline in the episode where:

1. They try to find the 'best' handling car ->

2. They drag it against a Mcleran :) ->

And of course the R35 in the near past racing the bullet train in Japan.

Sorry for venturing a little off topic :)

best is when people follow the media, skylines are hoon cars, only p platers and dikheads drive skylines etc, makes me laugh, but i do have to agree, the majority of people around my area, brighton are dikheads. no matter what cars.

but some things ive had said at my c34 stagea:

-nice looking tarago, but i dont like vans, especially FWD ones

-why do you drive a volvo for?

-why put an exhaust on a volvo for?

-why does your volvo sound like it has a turbo?

and sometimes when i get a little tooo lead footed and ride sidewards spinning the rear wheels, people just look at me sidewards and go wtf????? and after that when i pull up at the servo they ask me how i can do burnouts in a FWD 4cyl VOLVO!!!!!

sometimes i go to bed so sad knowing that there are people out there that think, every station wagon is either a volvo or a holden...... :) (99% all think its a f*kIN VULVA!!!!)

Scenario 1:

Was waiting for RAC with a guy at work because his Civic has broken down & we can't get it moving so I called RAC, when they arrived, after a bit of fault finding...

RAC guy: "You need to get this car towed, so is there 2 passengers?"

Me: "No, I'm just hanging around, my car is over there..."

RAC guy: "What car do you drive"

Me: "Nissan Skyline..."

RAC guy: "Do you still have any points left on your license?"

Scenario 2:

Went to a friend's house for lan... his younger bother's friend called & said he needed someone to pick him up & transport his computer over. So I went there with the younger bother, while we were loading his computer to the car that kid's mother came out... the following conversion was in Mandarin but the context of it was basically:

His mum: "Be careful in the car, those hoons with their illegal cars like to drive fast & dangerous..."

At that point I just got really annoyed as she pretty much just said that right in front of me...

Me: "For your information I've a better driving record then you! Not a single traffic infringement so far..."

<she look at me in horror, probably not used to people talking back to her... probably a traditional Chinese parent, but I couldn't care less & I could give to rat's ass if I pissed her off...>

Me: "Plus I don't hog up the right lane while driving 10 to 20 under & I ACTUALLY use my indicator when turning"

Me: "If you don't want me to take him, why don't you take him over there yourself?"

<points to the car on their driveway>

That shut her up real good.

I was talking with a guy the other day, just parking lot chat, and I said my car was headed back to the states as a racecar (unable to be titled for street use) and he said,"They don't allow Skylines in the States because they have too much torque." I just said I had to get going, and have a nice day.

Well I have this Car.jpg as my avatar on a anime BT site for which I download most of my animes from... recently I got a message from someone on the site & this is what he said:

Nice police lightbar pic..I think it's a old TwinSonic..Is this a small shot of the old movie The Blues Brothers? :)

:D

Skinny Vee: all those skylines are like 1980s lols upgrade please

Skinny Vee: DEFECT!

Friend: hahaha dont diss skylines! and its 1990s ;) ill upgrade if u gimme a couple of thousand bcusk :L

Skinny Vee: lolool wanna race me ? street styles? ill take u somewhere better than eastern creek and more dangerous

Friend: haha no racing my cars slow :P + im a safe driver :) (He actually is... didn't realize that the first time we went cruising with him; kept leaving him behind whoops)

Friend 2: Bet my skyline will rape whatever car u have fag

Skinny Vee: hahaha yeah? ur skyline is proberly turboed but kuzz my is250 stock will chomp your lil ancient toy

Friend 2: Whatever dickhead.. Keep dreaming.

If ur car can't better 12seconds down the 1/4mile ur not worth my time nor fuel.

Have fun with ur shitbox

Skinny Vee: hahahaha ur a f*kn idoit do u even know what a is250 is? LOLS its 45 grand more expensive than ur piece of shit scrap metal . bro i can get ur car from cabramatta scrap yarrd for f*kn 1 grand LOL. shitkunt.

oh btw u and ur boys are nothing u dont even go to nationals and u think ur mad. u proberly cant drive if i take u there i rkn you'll countersteer off a mountain

Friend: ravi :L ur talking to a dude on his fulls with a 280 kw skyline LOL

Skinny Vee: yeah well im red ps and i drive a car that costs his house so his full license can suck my dick.

*a bit more bickering*

Skinny Vee: f**k ur a retard already f**kn told u my f**kn car is real. and straight out when u guys get ur heads outta the ground and realise how shit your cars are then f**kn come back and offer me out straight out. hahaha sad kunts skylines cant even flick out sideways. lame. heard of rear wheel drives? . thats a real car

Skinny Vee: annd P.s even Caleb has better style than u matty fag, his skyline and some shit colour. atleast hes got a white one. f**kn better than ur trash can

*proceed with more threats/arguments not related to cars*

I went with my Mrs to go look at a second hand car from a private selle( which she ended up not buying and got a brand new Micra) I begged her to buy an S15 but she said she over driving imports after the last 3 she's had

And the guy selling the car asked me where we live and if we drove to his house

I said yeah my cars over there pointing to the R32.

He said oh the mazda.

How can you get it confused with a Mazda? Which Mazda does it even closely resemble?

You think skylines are bad. You get filthy looks off all kinds of people in my mates S2000 on the reg.

Can confirm this from when I used to own one. That being said, you those looks from atleast one niche of society when you own a sport car. I get filthy looks from commodore bogans every time I take the skyline out. Also had a few in the 350z.

Picked my uncle up from the airport was in the 32 he says actually these motors are designed from the buick 3.8 v6 commo motor and i didnt even bother telling him that this is a straight 6 people like that you cant tell. even owned a vs berlina

  • 2 weeks later...

When I owned my first skyline (R34Gt-t) I went to a party and a mate of mine who I hadn't seen in ages asked me what car i had, so i told him and to my disgust said:

"no point in owning a skyline unless its a 'GTR'"

I rebutted by saying that there are Gtsts that can maul GTRs (worked obviously) and that the later is almost twice as expensive to buy let alone ensure, anwhoo the argument kept going

until he said he had to leave and we both walked outside, I never thought along the whole hour length of the argument to ask him what car he drove....

..S14..

I laughed shook my head and patted the bonnet of my car..

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • 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.
