hahaha when i first got my liner i used to drive around and other skyline drivers would wave.. i was fully like 'wtf' and then squish told me its a 'thing' they all do.. i'd usually wave back but i kinda felt like a knob waving to someone i didnt know lol but nah i didnt have any abusive ones.. they were all nice, even if i was waiting for traffic so i could pull out, they would stop and let me go.. aww so nice ;) lol

are you good looking?

if the answer is yes, then there's your explanation :D

i wave and flash my lights at any skyline driver ... some wave back beep or flash back ones that dont i found out are usually boostloosers with stickers everywhere .. causing havok in traffic trying to show off how fully sick their bov is ? otherwise generally speacking 90% drivers are pretty cool pull up for a chat etc.. thats how i met lynden ! ma white kiwi twin !!

ive found that other skyline drivers ignore me if i wave at them in brisbane. in smaller towns like bundaberg and toowoomba skyline drivers are more than happy to pull over and have a chat to you. i guess people in the city are just rude...

Its really wierd.... I used to own a RX7 and fellow Rotary drivers would wave all the time, if i knew them or not! now i would be lucky to get a nod let a lone a wave (not that im looking for one-- i dont give a shit) in my skyline, and no most rotary drivers dont wave any more! (lol) :(

I have seen many rude skyline owners. Personally I tend to smile and nod not so much wave. Vish I was too busy drooling over your car and trying to read the plates backwards. Theres one chick in particular and its not Amy Lee, with a white 33 and black bonnet, along Johnson Rd that has snobbed myself and my friend in his car .............totally rude.

All of us cefiro owners give the nod or the wave... But the numbers are still pretty low.

I guess its to do with them being more common, its not AS special to own one these days as compaired to when the whole thing started. So now its just another skyline. Where as even 3 years ago it was hey look another skyline!

Thats my theory anyway.

a turbocharged bronze r31 stole fuel from my work this morning around 3.30am

rude prick has no idea how much paperwork i have to fill out when that happens :):)>_<

heh lucky i had a whinge, someone from the 31 owners club spotted this and pointed me at a thread where a 31 had been stolen on the same night.

yep it was the same car.

so working with the owner and the police to track the f**kers down.

this thread pwns :)

Yer hopefully he can get it back in one piece, putting a RB30DET in a 31 is good, but you need alarms in them to stop this happening...

I drive a 31, most people in 32, 33 and 34's don't take much notice of me. :(

i guess u only take notice if you are a previous owner of a 31. Then again alot of 31 owners snub me :cool:

I see plenty of lines between home, work and uni (between Munruben and Upper Mt Gravatt).

I can count the number of friendly liners on 1 hand... and that was a certain Yellow R34 with a nice loud stereo :cool:

Usually I get asians or middle easterns (no racisim) here, and they look at me confused when I wave.... they just don't understand.

That said, I saw a little white boy today in his car "SMOKE U" who seems to visit browns plains... nice driving dude... honestly, just put a new sticker on your car that says "Pull me over".

I use to have a Silver 4 door R32 with a big front mount who'd wave at me along mt lindsay highway in the 90 zone (around granger/stoney camp rds).

Now I'd be lucky to see a line not driven by a bogan. But that's what happens when the locals get some cash and realise the potential of a skyline... bummer they usually don't pick decent ones that are clean and tidy :(

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
