^^because everyone wants to say they bet a skyline lol very rare

even if your doing under the speed limit not accelerating or breaking any laws and you see a police car you feel a little nervous lol

when your in a parking lot and people are around you try and open the car with central locking as far back as possible so people notice that you are heading to the skyline LOL

when there is a slight bump in the road you slow down to like 5 km/hr so nothing scraps

when you wash your car with bottled water

when you have no other items in the car to keep weight down

when your bored you go for a drive that leads nowhere for an hour

when you dont have money but still go shopping for parts

when your CC is maxed

when you feel guilty when you thrash it because you think it has feelings

when you sling shot ball bearings at a magpie at work because it sits on your mirrors and shits down your door...TRUE!

when your glad your missus is going out with the girls so you can go for a drive in piece with your one true happy place

when your cars not feeling well, your not feeling well

..... when you constantly lose to SR20s. :)

..... when every nearby Commodore driver thinks he's the new Brock when driving near you

..... when you constantly check your rear vision mirror when something flashes eg sun reflection off a window

..... when you refuse to drive on weekends or pub holidays and walk/hitch a ride with ur gf 'just incase'.

..... when you are constantly surfing SAU for the next idea for a mod.

..... when you think ponder several times a day how you are going to spend your next pay check on the 'line.

..... when you wave at other Skylines, hoping to hell he's from SAU and that you don't look like a weirdo instead.

..... when you complain to yourself there's no public post about a cruise on the weekend.

..... when you think you're unbeatable on the street. (same goes for any enthusiast lol)

..... when you are READING this topic!!

....when other nissan (such as 180s n 200s) TRY to catch up to you by speeding when your weaving through traffic and miles ahead of them

....when your outside work having a ciggie and you catch 4 asian guys peeking thru the drivers side windows

... when your outside work having another ciggie and you notice the car infront/behind of you is a tad too close so you check for dents/scrapes

    • Put a camera facing your dashboard so you can film the gauges. Head out to a straight but of road, and filming it as you go from a stand still at wide open throttle to as fast as you can/feel comfortable doing. Then film the dash board as you for example accelerate like normal onto a freeway. This will give us an indicator from Speedo of your expectation of slow, and will give us the rpm reading too to see if it's shifting. (Auto still has tacho from memory)
    • Buy yourself the cooling system pressure tester. Being able to pump it up, and have a gauge on it, AND have a cold engine makes it much easier / practical to diagnose. Additionally as the engine isn't running, you can listen for pin hole leaks as well as watching if pressure drops away. In addition, you can pressurise and while doing so, watch all the little rubber hoses. Some fail very brittle, and will just leak, while others can end up very soft and bulge. While a bulging hose isn't necessarily leaking, one of those small ones starting to stretch / expand in a bad way is an indicator that you'll be looking to replace that one soon   Depending on if this is a project car, or you'll be dailying it in the summer months would alter how I'd be most comfortable with driving the car and how I'd replace. If you're planning to use it as a daily, with no backup, I'd pull the engine, and replace all the external oil/water lines in one big swoop. At the same time do the timing belt, water pump, tensioners etc. Do not open the engine at all. We just want to replace all the things that are inexpensive as a single item, but a PITA when they go. By doing the above, you've made the car from a bunch of age related issues more reliable. If it's a project, and you like swearing while trying to reach into dirty hard to reach places to replace a single hose that may or may not be the leaky one. Just replace the leaking/bad ones as they need it. If it's a project and you'd rather swear at the car once and enjoy it as much as possible, then refer to the process I mentioned in how I'd want to do it if it were a daily. However, the approaches above do come down to how much spare pocket change you have. Pulling the engine and dropping over a thousand dollars on parts, may not be practical for you. Oh, if engine outing, I'd replace as many silicon/rubber inlet joiners as possible too.
    • Yeah, they're pretty dumb though...ie; they'll throw a solenoid error if the solenoid is dead, shorted, wiring is open circuit, or even if the driver transistor has failed (they can't self-diagnose much, they can only test inputs/outputs)... but if you wanted to try, I believe it's this protocol....(uses a long pulse indicator with short pulse counter)...    
    • Yeah I'll do what I can without taking off any major parts for now. If it becomes clear I won't get far with the engine in the car I'll have to think about the next steps. I am not too stuck on keeping everything 100% OEM, if there is better solutions, like converting most lines to braided with AN adapters, I'd rather do that than buy overpriced new "shit" parts.
