A smile and wave from the driver of a car that someone really likes can brighten up someones day.

I was pissed at this jacked up pickup truck once that cut me off, then saw a maserati gran turismo with an elderly man driving, he gave me a smile and thumbs up...that made my day

Makes sense...

A wave > brightens one's day :thumbsup:

Cutting in (or lane hog) > pisses one off :down:

well in my job, i do a lot of driving out west, were there are pretty much 2 lane roads everywhere, and as such i always give the little wave to the on coming driver, to me the little wave is saying hi yes i'm all good, hope you are ok sort of thing.

to me it's just common curdesy to do so, and i never expect a wave back, but is always nice when it happens.

also, it is surprising me how many people are still doing the little wave thing now adays in the city.

I wave to coppers, they always give me a wtf look then I give them a thumbs up :thumbsup::laugh:

a few times they smile & wave back, but mostly the wtf look

And then I thought...

when I was 22 and sat next to a G/F who had a Charger > kids would stick up a "V" sign with their fingers and yell out "CHARGER" in response to a very successful TV Ad campaign.

valiant charger for $2759? I'll take 3

Can I assume your wave was a genuine one (since they're conditioned to read body language) and not a smart-ass one? :yes:

I always wave to guys in imports and nice cars in general. I find a lot of the hot-rod guys will wave back were as most of the import guys just look at you blankly. Funny that when your in an import there's not a mutual wave. If your both on a bike there is always the mutual nod.

can we please make it a rule, that if your a member of this site you must wave at all great and and not so great skylines in the future:). it should be a question when signing up haha "do you agree to wave".

Best suggestion I've heard for a while. :rolleyes:

Those Alfa Romeo dudes can't have this behaviour all to themselves!

In fact, I'll grab my wife's hand and wave it - she's always wanted to be the queen.

Didn't they tell you? Those alfa boys waving at each other is their SOS signal for 'help! my (X) has broken' or 'my (Y) has fallen off!'

I call it the F.I.A.T effect

btw waved at a divvy van today, the guy pointed at me as if to say "I'm watching you" :rofl2:

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      brake clearance depends on spoke design GT-R size I'd go 9.5 +15 or +12, and if you've rolled your guards, 10" +20. People run 10.5 but I reckon that's too wide.

      I was using Realdash App on my entertainment unit in the sil80. Can connect over USB/bluetooth, can set up warnings and is discreet and doesn't stand out bonus was using android auto so had maps and music still going. Put the dollars saved from a screen into decent ecu, sensors and other upgrades.

      Here’s something I was wondering. From the colour of the fuel that came out of the old filter and how hard it was to take it out, I would assume that was clogged AF! Do you think the car was running lean during those times? And would it now run better now that the flow is better? Or would it run rich for a while and then start adjusting?  I’m not really sure if the R34 ECU adjusts to changes like this. I mean it’s an ECU from 2000, not AI 😂 But also, interested to know if anything like that is there.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Have made a start on the dump pipe. Ordered a few 3.5 inch bends and pie cuts. To make fit up and tacking a bit easier cut some slots in an old t bolt clamp. It's been a tight fit but managedto get it down under the car but still sits about 5-6mm below the chassis rail. Have started to weld it out but not had much time. Also got new orings and gasket so intake and injectors are back in with all the water bypass done. Another box arrived with bits for making a  swirl pot off the upper coolant neck. PWR are still waiting to make my intercooler and radiator but should be ready in 2 weeks. Slowly making a plan for a few suspension arm upgrades for when all engine/driveline is done. Got a busy period for work  ext few weeks so not much will happen on the car.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I've had this happen with some cheaper kits and found the efihardware ones don't do this. I would go be pwm the pump no way need it at 100% all the time.
