hey guys, i was driving down the Cumberland hwy yesterday and i saw a v35 coupe like mine, and i gave a signal, well its nothing major but i didn't get one back i drove past and that v got stuck in traffic and a bit later it caught up with me and gave me a nod back... just wondering how many of you out there do nod or whatever when you see a fellow v35? do you? don't you?

....obviously i do salute/signal/nod whatever you wanna call it :D

I dont wave/salute/signal when i see one.............but thats only becuase i dont own a V.......Just yet.

But i can tell you im always supper exited to see one, and stare at it worse than a ladyfriend bending over.

Hence i cant wait to go crazy flashing my lights and sounding my horn when im in my future V, and i see another V coming towards me.

Probably now... Yes...

But...

in a few years time when V35 becomes as common as R33/R34....

then you may ask the question again...

does someone who drives Toyota RAV4 do salute to another Toyota RAV4 driver?

does someone who drives Ford Falcon do salute to another Ford Falcon driver?

does someone who drives BMW 535i do salute to another BMW 535i driver?

nah they don't, but usually import drivers especially Nissans whether its the skyline to the silvia's, and 180sx... i know they salute each other even though they are quite common now.

to be honest i don't see a lot of skylines (any model) these days anyway. there might be a lot more than there use to be but to me there still quite rare.

Exactly. When I first bought my R33 all those years back they were less common than the V35 is now so a wave was always on, but as the years went there was no way I was going to wave every few minutes.

Ditto will happen with the V35.

Call me anti-social but I havent ever bothered with the V35 salute. Perhaps because I am yet to see a female driving one :P

MILLOS - I also do the bike nod but since im only on a 250 my nodding partners are restricted. The guys on bigger bikes dont to noobs, and there is no way i want to be seen nodding to a scooter... unless the rider is wearing a skirt.

I also ride a 250, for the last 5 1/2 years, hahaha. But I've finally put it on the market and want to upgrade now. I normally ride with the big boys, because I'm the only one now that has not updated, so everyone normally nods back on the bike.....but you're right, there's no way I want to be seen nodding to a scooter either....hahaha. Although the better half says that if I get a scooter she will get on the bike with me....she's too scared on the 250.

Back on the V's, yeah a lot of times I don't get a wave/flash back...sometimes I do. Although I don't see many at all on the streets just yet. But like it was said before, I suppose they're not part of this club.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
