You know you drive a Skyline when:

You drive past the Porsche dealer and everyone stares out the window at you

You take your mum down the street, and even tho your doing the speed limit, it still scares the s$%t out of her

You see a $300k Ferarri etc and go Pffft, shitbox

When you cruise down a main street looking at the hundreds of cars passing by and think that you dont desire a single one of them unless you see another Skyline that is more modded than yours.

When you cruise around knowing that you own something unique and built for performance from the ground up not something made special with some add-ons and a name change.

When your skyline is your desktop background and your eyes hurt starin at it for too long

When you have already bought parts for your skyline before you have even bought it and you continuosly take it out of its box and put it back in

When your reading an SAU topic that is 30 pages long and you keep saying to yourself "just 1 more page" and your up til 3 am by the time you've finished reading it

When you used to work at a supermarket being a trolley boy and making a drifting course and mastering it thinkin your kingdick.(hahaha so guilty!!!)

When you run out of money for mods you start turning your room upside down looking for things to sell

^^GUILTY WITH EVERYTHING I JUST SAID^^

when you're driving down napean highway watching an ignition dvd and hear a loud(ish noise) and only then realize a porsche boxter was trying to race you... aparently.... :)

you know you drive a skyline when your up all night reading this thread and you have an exam in the morning but it doesnt really bother you because afew hundred people out there have typed your daily life and you just have to read them all

.. when you take off from the lights and start getting worried cause you can hear some weird tinny whining over reving nosie, so you let off the accelerator to check where it could be coming from just to realise its the hyundia/lancer driver next to you trying to keep up

Haha, so true!!

-When someone overtakes you, you subconsciously accelerate

-you find yourself abusing other car like little ricers saying how you'd smash that in a race, only to find out at the traffic lights it driven by an old man...

-you drive your g/f's busted ass civic and as the revs go up you subconsciously get ready for it to come on boost, but it just doesnt happen...

you know you drive a skyline when you dont care about petrol prices.

you know you drive a skyline when you're at carlovers on any given night freezing your fingers off to wash it.

you know you drive a skyline when you press stop before your home page loads, and type in 'www.sky'...drop down one, hit enter and click "todays active topics" once SAU loads.

You know you drive a Skyline when:

You are known at your place of work as the one with the flashy car

You hear people complaining about paying $1.70ish for petrol and wish you could only pay that much instead of paying for 98.

You think you can beat anything on the road

You go around mouthing off about the R35 setting the fastest Nordschleif time, even though the only thing it has in common with your car is it's namesake

Deep down you know the 2JZ is a superior engine, yet you don't care

You and your mates provide a good 50% of your local police forces defect quota

There is ALWAYS something on your car you're looking to change/modify next :D

when your walking to your parked car and stop and just stand there looking at it and give your self an assurance that you made the right choice buying a line..

when you drive pas a petrol station and see the advertised price has gone down and get happy, then frown as you remember premium is 10cents more.

when your 18 and vic roads say you cant have a turbo, but you buy a gts anyway just so you can drive a skyline

p.s still munches mates commos

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
