SUP.

this thread is for community spirit i guess... this thread is about..

let's list the imported / JDM / AUDM japanese cars that you do and don't "wave" or "give the thumbs up" to... feel free to elaborate on why you do it..

me:

GIVE KUDOS TO:

R32 Skylines - you guys are a good bunch who usually spread love back

C34 Stageas - again, you guys are a good bunch of blokes, who usually aren't afraid to give a wave if someone's waving @ u

Z30 Soarers - I'd rather not cos most of them are Ugandan

Z20 / Z10 Soarers - these i go nuts for. anyone driving this in 2011 deserves a medal

Ke70 corolla / JZX series cars / any and all bizzare imports like Y34 / Y31 / A31 / C210 / MA61 / JZA70 / R31 etc.. i give it up for these dudes daily..

I DONT GIVE KUDOS TO:

WRX - these guys are not cut from the same cloth

EVO - these guys tend to thumb their nose at me

Nissan Z cars - again, usually driven by owners who just dont "get it"

R33, R34, V35 drivers - again, most of these drivers particularly R33 drivers dont show love to me they just look down their noses at me so i show no love to them.. i'm also noticing an increase of drivers of these cars who are not on the forum so i dont bother... sorry guys!

M35 stageas - just no.

Galant / Legnum drivers - again these owners seem to think they're exempt from showing love to JDM owners..

what about you guys? do you have a "no" list?

a yes list? what is it and why

If i know the person down here (ie bunbury) i wave, otherwise the rest i dont bother as they hoon around and cause trouble. Up in perth if i'm driving the 32, which hasnt happened in a while, i will wave if they wave pretty much. The early Z's down here are usually tucked away and don't come out much, these guys i chat to a bit when i work in town and we get along ok. Silvias are the same, quite a few down here are kids and arent polite

Dan i am SO NOT on your no list. and you know that.

im on your YES list!!!!

and bubba - obviously i wave to R33/34 owners that i know / previous customers i've served etc! :) those guys get a wave

if i feel spicy i even give then a double peace sign out the sunroof - you know you got me going when you get one of them!

my other no list: X-trails! :P

another thing i have on my "no love" list:

any Nissan S series cars. they're jealous of me i think. give me daggers everytime so i just glare back like this:

OH AND AND AND!!! one more thing!!!!

i was outside washing my car the other day at 6pm on a friday, as you do... and i hear

VvvvvvRRRRRRMMMMM PSSSSHHTTTtut tu... VrrRRrrrRRrooOOOOPSHHTTTtttu tu tu...

casually driving up my street, head down to see what it is...

it's a mid 1980's datsun stanza with an RB engine and a tiny little polite front mount.. and some wide 15inch rims...

i wave.. car flashes beams at me and waves back...

the driver:

A hot brunette with a sexy fringe and black frame gasses. cute as hell.

im in love.

Hot. BRB stairwell.

why not an M35 Stagea?

whats wrong with us?

I get snobbed by every M35 I come across. The only M35 driver I haven't been snobbed by was andynogo but I ran into him on foot at the shops :P

Oh and a few of us C34 boys rolled into Carousel HJs carpark on night before heading into the hills. There was a couple of R33s, and R34 and maybe an S13.. there was also a towtruck driver near us eating dinner. Some smart ass skyline driver was like "huhuhuh the towtrucks here to pick the Stageas up" :dry:

So before we left, we watched one of the Skylines being put on the back of another flat bed that rocked up :rofl:

Unfortunately, that was the night I snapped my gearbox :(

P.S. Aaron, I love your avatar :laugh:

Eps man, yumad4? You do a lot of raging about people not waving to you :P

Me, I wave to all imports if I see them in time. And if I'm driving next to one, I give them some bov love and a wave :D I hardly ever get any love back though. Most people look at me like I'm a nutjob. Others think I want to race so they just take off...

At least... :ermm: At least I think that's why they take off... :unsure:

:(

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
