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....

I try to wave at every Skyline I see, even Sillotette's or however you spell them, because they are Skyline's too :D Yeah get a lot of wierd looks, and only a couple of waves, have not tried flashing high beams but would expect a fist in return :)

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?

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
