When you recognise the shape of commodore and falcon headlights in your rear view mirror then get paranoid it might be a cop

When your the only person on the freeway late night/early morning and you get the thought of smashing the accelerator but then thinking, ahh I'd better not.

So true. I'm paranoid about bommadores and failcons these days, I always think they're cops.

And yeah, a deserted freeway at night is so tempting for a v-max run, but jail, not so much fun.

when someone asks you what car you drive you pause for a moment and then reply.................... "a nissan skyline"

haha i cant help think that when you say this you say it with a Jeremy Clarkson impression :blink:

you know when he's introducing a car or the stig and he pauses then in a deep dramatic voice

"what is it?........a nissan skyline"

... You dream about your car being broken into and you wake up angry.

... You are paranoid about leaving the car with your trusted mechanic

... You smile and go Wooo Hooo every time you get a red light.

hahaha me too.

... when the rumble of the v8 commodore is out-done by your screamer pipe.

... when your mate's, mate start looking to buy a skyline after you've given them a lift.

... when you take off normally at the lights as the other car screams off.

... when you watch the face on a cute girl as you go up through first gear in an underground car park (highflow cat, 3 1/2in, single cannon). >>> ;)

... looking over the customer's shoulder to check if your skyline's doing alright.

haha i have a list of mods aswell, i thought i was the only geek :cheers:

when you know the servo guy's name and he notices if you don't show for a week :cheers:

Week? I'm filling up two or three times a week (not a whole tank though). Of course I do work at one ...

when you're drinking beers at home you sit in it and make wooshing noises

when you don't turn the air conditioning on, even in 40degree heat

when you're talking to a girl and instead of saying you've never lost your license.. you tone it down to "just this onë time"

:P

when your waiting for 2 weeks for parts to come from japan!!!!!

Try waiting 2 months for parts to come wrong 3 times from Japan, only to be told they had to put it on paper and draw it and take measurements to send instead...

... you pop your hood everytime after your drive the car to see if everythings in working order, or just to look at the engine in awe.

YES! I TRY TO FIND SOMETHING I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!

hehe i can relate to most of that well almost 100% haha.

when your mates say "man this is not your skyline..." when you try taking corners at double the speed then the signs quote.

when you try to see how fast you can go around corners or roundabouts before the tyres squeal and carry on.

when everyone gives you dirty looks or evils because they think your speeding.

when every car in front of you is not doing the speed limit exactly you then try to pass thinking they are going to slow for you.

when everyone wants to ride in your car.

when you know you shouldn't but you do it anyway. :( (you know what I'm talking about)

when you won't let anyone drive your skyline unless you are telling them how too.

when sitting in the passenger seat or anyone else's car feels weird.

when you drive another car and wait for the power to come on but it never does.

when you know you should be spending money on something more important but you don't.

when you tell yourself that an R34 GTR is not that expensive and you can make it if you work this many hours and months. (hehe true for me)

when you feel like every car at night approaching is the cops.

when you slow down and wait for cops to pass and then decide to floor it.

when you look for P's and anyone else to race...

When you get yelled at by your neighbour for doing 35 in a 50km/h zone. (Too loud)

Then the next day copping a lecture how we, Skyline drivers, are the cause for todays bad driving.

I just said "That's super interesting", and winded the window up while she was talking.

Good to know we have great neighbours

Haha I can relate. I told my neighbours to go f**k herself cuz she thought I was speeding in out court (loud exhaust) was actually the neighbours mum. He is a cop. Comes to my door to talk to me and whilst he was talking told him to get off my f**king property and slammed the door in his face :)

    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
