when you drive your bucket of rust gemini to work so that your freshly polished skyline doesn't get dust on it.

when your dad offers to let you drive his porsche, you say you don't want to downgrade and take your skyline

You know you drive a Skyline when pedestrian couples walk past you at a red light and they both check your car out. And you pretend you don't notice but secretly you love it.

You know you drive a Skyline when you wait around till it's warm in the morning, and till it cools when you get home, wasting time and petrol because you worry about hurting the RB.

You know you drive a Skyline when you're doing 60km/h in a 60 zone but constantly checking your mirrors for cops.

You know you drive a Skyline when you make a list of "to do's" and "mods" and leave it on your desk.

You know you drive a Skyline when you park, step out, and take a pic with your phone and people are watching you and wondering.

You know you drive a Skyline when you drive something else and realise how good your 'line is.

You know you drive a Skyline when you read this thread and laugh cause 99% of the posts you can relate to.

You have a several page exel spread sheet of "to do mods" with all the prices, part numbers, suppliers etc with totals down the bottom of each section - and it adds up to a lot more than the purchase price.

Guilty as charged your honour

When you spend 10 minutes explaining to your non-line mate about your desperate need for more negative camber and you get -> :D

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
