Thread is win.

I can definitely relate to at least %90 of the posts...

You know you drive a skyline when...

-Spending double, triple, or even more than the cars value on mods is reasonable to you.

-You get confused when people get dramatic about you telling them the above figure.

-Yellow speed signs are half the speed you should use through the corner, comfortably.

-The only Skyline left in your Skyline is the shell, badges, lights and block.

...When you get home only to discover your wife has had enough of nagging you to move the exhaust, FMIC and spare petrol tank out off the spare room and lugged them up to the attic herself (the petrol tank would have been a huge pain in the ass)

...When you buy a set of stock R32 gtst wheels off eBay cause the tires on the 17" are bald and it will make you a profit to just sell the wheels on instead of buying new tires

When you spend upto $150 on second hand skyline floor mats cause your didn't come with any and your wife says "you could have bought black ones from supercrapauto for $10" and you say "but these ones say SKYLINE on them"

When you park it somewhere and turn your head and admire numerous times whilst walking away from it..+1

some more...

When you stop caring about the cost of petrol.

When you no longer know the meaning of fuel economy.

When someone has repeated the words "OMG I just jizzed" in your car

You research where the nearest undercover carparks are along a cruise route just incase of rain/hail.

You cant get your car DVDplayer/stereo/radio to work because its in japanese and you dont care.

You no longer crinch at the thought of wiping runny bird poo off your car with your bear hands. (only done this once)

you need to see a chiropractor to fix your back from driving your line too much. (stiff suspension)

When visiting your olds and your oldman automatically parks his brand spanking new commaboat on the street so your 11 year old car can have the garage. Thanks dad!!! :cheers:

And finally, When your driving and you get to the end of a twisty road and turn around so you can do it all again.

You Know You Drive A Skyline When... you justifed to yourself that paying rego on your non going skyline for a whole year is worth it.

You Know You Drive A Skyline When... When your family tell you to sell it and buy a better car.

You Know You Drive A Skyline When... You and your mate start talking in rb skyline langauge about mods and people just stare at you.

You Know You Drive A Skyline When... you start researching mods and ways to improve your engine, rather then doing homework or any other chores.

You Know You Drive A Skyline When... you start dreaming about Skylines and you wake up refereshed... and wanting to drive your Skyline.

    • 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?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
