All womens get a creepy smile and sometimes an overly energetic wave

V35 get a nod if its not stock

Old muscle cars get a nod

Old school Jap get a nod

GT-Rs get a knowing look and a raised finger off the steering wheel

Evos get owned

WRX get nothing

It doesn't just depend on the car i think it depends on who is behind the wheel, if your hat is back to front or your look like a jerk i am not waving.

Agree, but... Do my Police sunnies make me look like a jerk? :(

I usually only bother to wave to the older, more classic models to show my appreciation (Datsuns!!!)... and they always wave back with a :thumbsup:

This is true actually, most of the classic cars will give me some love back.

For me are as follows:

(P.S: I will only wave if I am in my V35 coupe.) :P

Waving:

1. GT-R's. (Ones that drive responsibly, particularly mature looking drivers.)

2. R32's, R33's, R34's. (Again, mature looking drivers. Definitely no P-platers.)

3. V and Z-series. (Ones that look back at me when we drive past each other. More willing to wave to Aussie (White) drivers, as I have some bad experiences with Asian drivers.)

4. Stagea's. (Most of them look at my car when coming across.)

Not Waving:

1. S13's (Had too many bad experiences.)

2. WRX's, Galant's, Legnum's (Except some of my friends, most of them look like they only care for their own kind of imports. i.e. To STI's and Evo's.)

Neutral (Maybe, Maybe not):

1. RX7 (Still like the car overall.)

2. Supra (Like RX7, still like the car overall. Definitely no P-platers.)

3. Mark II's, Chaser's, Soarer's (Most of them look at my car when coming across.)

4. STI's, Evo's (Except some of my friends, most of them don't look like they care much about other imports.)

Wave:

Any skyline, except a series 1 R33.

Supra, especially JZA/MA70s!

Evos

Foresters

Libertys

Cefiros/Laurels etcc...

RX7/8s

Aristos

GTRs

Silvas, except s13s

V35s

370zs

Z31/Z32

All stageas

Any Soarer driver who isn't Sudanese/Ugandan

BMW drivers who aren't wogs

No wave:

ANY commodore. No exceptions, they are all bogan wankers

WRXs. They're everywhere.

Hondas

350z

s13s

Any love for x-trails?

hahahah

Edited by StealthX

I get no love. :( Where I live all there is are fags that drool over their V6 ecotec's broaw.

P-plates probably don't help but surely people can tell the difference between a sensible enthusiast and an idiot that has neons and chromies and tries to hit full speed between every set of lights/speed bumps.

No love to maroon S1 R33's and that's about it. (besides some of the above mentioned)

I know/think I saw Stealths X-trail (it was definitely an X-trail) the other day or last night on Warwick or Hepburn or Beach Rd. (I forget :) )

Edited by are bee's

Not much of an initiator, however will return the favor, if I recognize plates or car I'll give a wave, nothing to over enthusiastic,

Same with spotted threads, only spot forum members or personal plates, not listing every car I see every day,

I like to wave at most R32/R34 drivers. Usually skip the R33's as they never give any love back.

No one waves S13s? Aw, the first wave I got here in Perth was from an S13 ^_^

Did it have a lot of green lol? I think 5WEET is the only Silvia that has ever waved to me.

hahaha ^^^

if im ever driving around and i see A VW wave to me - i'll be sure to put 2+2 together from now on :P

Jimmy if i ever saw your 32 i would definitely be giving you wave love. your car is gee'd up from the feet up.

OT - yerp

but i need to buy some materials first which come from the US of A

and beleive it or not i DO notice R32 golfs driving around... my girlfriends' sisters' boyfriend has got one...

he got it for cheap from sydney. i said it was cheap for a reason, but he bought it anyway.

funny story about that is:

he was driving home from "da club" one night with his gf and his ENGINE FELL OUT OF HIS CAR.

no seriously. engine fell out onto the road through the floorpan. danger to manifold styles.

VW said car is no longer covered by warranty but decided to fix it anyway out of... embarrassment i suppose.

they had the car for about 3.5 months? i would not begin to fathom the parts that would have been damaged in an intricate car like an R32 golf having it's engine fall out from it's chassis like that...

:/

hey question.. when it's night.. and you press the button on your fob remote... and the HIDs fire up before you even get in the car, does it make you smile everytime?

until I fix my window I don't wind it down so I try to wave but due to the dark tinting I think others believe I am just rude in not returning the favour :)

otherwise I would nod at other GTR owners and most imports, as long as they're not driving like tools and the car is well kept. If it's some crapbox it's probably treated as such by those who are not enthusiasts.

K let me know when you are ready.

It is still new to me (had it just over a month and have been away o/s for a good part of that) so yes and the fact i can roll down the windows when walking towards it.

o and the v6 note is nuts, just ask Kermit. Took it over to show him and he thought i had already put an exhaust on it. Think he wet himself when i rev'd it, got a funny look on his face.

right so back o/t

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
