i usually look at the driver before giving a wave. If they look like they're the type to start some sh*t for "looking at them in the wrong way" then I usually move along. It's usually these people that give us Skyline drivers a bad name. :rolleyes: (Basically I wave at anyone over 30)

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

Yeah like when I had a Charger, other ownser always gave the V signal wave, V for Valliant.

Guess it is a bit hard to do a S for Skyline or a N for nissan.......

I think the old fasioned wave works for me, even if they look a bit scary I have found the first look I get is a really "I am gonna melt you down like butter in a microwave" but then I give them a big smile and a wave and usually get one back :)

pulled up next to a yello mr2 and just stared at him, big azn guy wit long hair. then he looked over and gave me a badd look. so i said nice car. and he smiled and replied the same. now i spot him once and again, and usally we say hello wit blow off valves :D

i love pulling up along side another skyline usally toot my aftermarket girly horn.

one day im gona pull up next to a expensive car to and say. "nice car!, wats the retail on one of those"? :)

I usually nod or give the thumbs up and sometimes wave, but not all at once :P

- but sometimes with dark tint on your or their car, you can't always tell if people can see you - or you cant actually see them properly etc...

In country Vic everyone used to wave at everyone but these days it doesnt happen much, they gone snobby now??? Or do they think I am cause of the car? Maybe they are just trying to grab my number plate :) lol

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
