hey guys,

just wondering why skyline owners dont wave to each other anymore??

there used to be a time when u could go in to newcastle and everyone waved to everyone else in a skyline, aussie 31s through to 34 gtrs. went down to newi today and saw a few lines' gave them a wave, and not one waved back except for a black 33gtst with a veilside front bar, we had a bit of play up the hill past bar beach. but that was it. i saw 6 imports and 2 aussie 31s.

i was in my 33, wine red, 400r kit and gold work meisters. and got snobbed by a p plater in a 31 silo.

whats goin on!

cheers

Its not just Newy...

In the last 18 months of driving around 230km/week I'd say I've seen a total of 3 other skyline drivers acknowledge my old '32. I just can' be arsed anymore either.

In the Inner SW of Sydney its better to look full hard (or something to that effect) in yo' ride apparently, so thats pretty much the style I drive with now.

Have had a wave from a yellow 34 on Parra rd, a 32 on Canterbury Rd & a fellow 32 sedan driver on a 1.5 lane street near Newtown IGA.

hehe last weekend i was coming home to newy and this guy an a maroon 32gtr basically jumped out of his window and waved was quite funny actually.. but then again i saw a yellow 34gtr old guy saw me but kept his eyes on the road.. no acknolegement.. oh well

oohaahGTR, i saw you at the forshore. gave you a wave, u must not have seen me. i always see you down there when im there. your car stands out like dogs balls, specially with the carbon bonnet and boot. haha

when i get my kit and bonnet and wing, i should stand out a bit more too.

cheers

ULOOOK, I saw you about two weeks back in Newy on a Thursday night.

I was behind you where that dude in the dark green 180 did a massive drift onto Hunter st.

Nice car you got there. :rofl:

Anyway, I've only had my 'line for about a month now, and the first thing I noticed from other drivers was the wave.

Freaked me out the first time, but now I make sure that if I don't initiate it, I definately respond to it!

The ULOOOK plates just suited the car I guess, I dunno tho it definatly suits the car.

The colour is custom as I have had the car resprayed. I believe it was Nismo Blue but who knows. The headlights havent been painted but they are dark for some reason.

I seen that huge drift that was crazy, crazy person hahahaha !!!

I never ever drive my car so I never get to wave. If you see us round give us a wave tho :P

See ya

Hey, just wondering where some of you Newy guys and gals are at?

Being new to the 'lines (1 month and loving it!), I've seen quite a few around but there doesn't seem to be that many people on here from up this way.

I'm in Rathmines at the moment (until we can find a 4 bed house with a garage that will let us have a dog), and I know I've seen a white 33 around Morisset and a silver 33 around Toronto way.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
