I've had my skyline for about 6 weeks now and i was starting to believe that most skyline owners are full of themselves or think they are better then you, like most of the ones in the city :D

Until today...

This morning, i was driving to work and i spotted a White R33 GTR in the back ground, i slowed to take a closer look, he pulled up beside me and clearly it had some money put into it. Suddenly the driver of about 35-45 gave me a wave! I was stunned, there are actually friendly/respectfull skyline drivers out there.

And to confirm this code of respect, only 30 mins ago i pulled up next to a replica of mine but white and was beaten to the wave. :)

Im glad to see that there actually is a code of respect between Skyline owners, a bit like the code between motor bikes.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it pisses me off :cuss:

Have a nice day everyone! ;)

Yah i know what you mean, i sometimes pull up next to or pass another skyline owner and normally get a wink or wave. quite often people dont look twice at mine as it looks pretty stock, but its all good once they hear the turbs. ehhee

Actually got a hotel upgrade and cheaper price once i told the hotel attendant that my car was a skyline, as he too had one.

My girl coudn't believe it....

keep waving everyone!

:wavey:

Spoken by Duncan for the Keep Waving Party, Alice Springs.

I don't know what it's like now Duncan but when I lived in the Territory you waved at EVERY car on the road (well highway anyway, not in town) and 90% of people returned it.

I even tried to give the people I overtook a wave because I knew that I just scared the shit out of them by backing off as I passed. (I had a tickled 308 and two hot dogs, no muffler, quite advanced timing and flames out the back on a big back off :rolleyes:)

I always give the ol' wave but mostly seem to get ignored... dont give a shit really cos every now and then youll give the wave and end up talking to someone whose not up themselves and is in love with cars and skyline in particular.

we definetly should start a skyline wave though... any ideas?

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!

      We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
