If i see an import i will usually give a wave, this generally only applies to oncomeing traffic. If i have one follow me or infront of me, ill generally follow at a resonable distance

and give a "cya" flash of the lights when i turn off.

lol if someone flashed me i would just think wtf :S. i usually associate a flash of the lights with pull over haah

+1 to waving to a fellow skyline driver, although im sceptical they'd wave back,

have a question for you guys... what do you do when at the traffic lights, 2lanes turning into one, you have the right lane and a car pulls up in the left lane with there lane ending... do you put them in there place ( drag is on) or do you let them go??

I always feel the pressure that i should be infront and quite often will be tailgated by lesser powerful cars trying to prove they are fast or something... can be very irritating especially when your engine is cold and you dont want to be coming onto boost.

i always go in the left lane if im just chillen, as i see that as the slow/chill lane whilst the right lane is the fast/pass lane. imo if your in the right lane you should be ready to take the lead although if your warming up your car and dont want to hit boost yet then just go to the left

if im warmed up , ive become of the opinion of , well i only get so many squirts on these streets, if your going to take that lane then you obviously want to drag and challenge me so i just put the revs up and hose them off lol.....

if cold then i have to let them go.. living in jimboomba theres alot of long country roads so squirts are far and inbetween, have to make the most of squirts ,.. all in 80/90 zones so not illegal lol

how about a hand out the window waving while at the top of your voice yelling BYE, while you pass at 120 in 3rd :P

Hahahaha, that should be the official way every skyline owner has to do it lol :thumbsup:

I always try to wave.

Sometimes just don't see them in time....

And with the bikes, a lot don't give the nod, I do, its a you're interested in what I'm interested in thing.

Most of the imports that don't wave back are generally people who arnt enthusiasts.

as a new silvia owner. ive noticed that other silvia owners dont acknowledge you in a wave, but they have the tendancy to stupidly rev their motors and let off BOV noises, or rip skids.

kind of makes me want to get out of the silvia and back into a stag

When driving, I try to wave at any import Skyline I see regardless of model.

Don't often get a wave back but sometimes...

I get a giggle out of it so that's all that matters. I have always done it for any car I own.

My parents always waved, beeped or flashed other Kombies and Beetles back when I was a kid and we were a VW family.

On the other hand, I also give any driver a BIG WIDE EYED shake of the head and the Phone hand signal if they are on the mobile when driving.

Hope they can lip read too cause it's a very exagerated "get off the F#@Kin' Phone"!!! Phhhhtttt. some people... I dunno... Who needs 'em. :glare:

Edited by Not a Pulsar

Most of the time I don't bother waving as I get the feeling I wouldn't receive one back. However I still have done it sometimes in the past...

FYI - Police are exempt from the mobile phone law. ;)

Oh - how come that's not well known?

I certainly don't expect you - our friendly copper - to change the law; but it would certainly help goodwill between the public and the force if it was publicised that the police are not only required to be able to use the radio whilst driving, but also the mobile.

So I take it that police do not have to have sirens/lights on to be able to use the mobile whilst in motion?

We the public can get pinged for using the mobile after having pulled over to the kerb, but still have the engine idling eh?

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
