I like to wave to people. I wave to people when im in Gradenkos car mostly, some people wave back thinkin " do i know that guy?" Gradenko freaks out, he dont like it much, but i guess thats why i do it. When i had the supra i waved at almost all imports and gave the "jerky jerky" sign to all the ricers.

Hmm maybe thats why i think that 30% of all cars are skylines. :confused:

yeah i always wave to Skylines ....... well ok i mainly only wave to R33's ... when they are over the other side of the road ..... when they are on my side of the road ..... then its all business :P

I get a helluva a lot of Silvias waving to me and they usually get the confuddled "do i actually know you or you just waving to me cos i drive an import" look

U gotta make sure u got the wave down too.

For the passenger u have to have ure forearm vertical and it rotates at the elbow and the fingers stay together, just like the queen. For the driver its always the ultra classy 3 fingers off the wheels stylz.

when i drove my ZX i used to get people in Z32's wave to me i felt like "ahhh im accepted" :P

haha i still get Z32 guys talk to me at the lights ...... usually just before they take off i get "Oh by the way - this isnt my girlfriends followed by a .... ;) "

Yeh i noticed that. When the traffic picks up it starts to tick u off. No1 does it on the coast roads though.

Apparently that stemmed from ye old days when there was no tempered glasss and people used to touch the windscreen so it didnt break if a rock hit it. Shockies for ure glass.

haha yeah can be a bit snobby sometimes.

But its cool when you have a bit of a run with another car then you pull up at the lights and htey'll ask you whats in it and you have a convo. Like that guy in the Pulsar .... he was such a sweety. 240rwhp on a Pulsar ..... no wonder i was eating his dust .... i was ready to march my car down to the car yard til i found out what was in it then losing didnt seem so bad.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
