Got a wave from a custom Blue r33 GTST with veilside12 kid 'i think' the other week, it was nice because it hasn't happened for quite some time, I used to wave a lot but ended up not because most people don't. But ever now & again there's there nod or wave which is good. Depending on if I can see the person well enough will decide my ‘pre-emtive wave’ decision, if they look like a tossa heading down to the foreshore to pick up some 14 yr old poon, NO WAVE FOR YOU!

Also, if you street race, make sure you wave after your little run, regardless of car, I’ve had that with silvia’s & even holdens :| Good stuff :P

one word "COMPETITION"

I think it comes down to the fact

that alot of people are trying to out do

one another, plus the whole JEALOUS streak that comes out in all of us.

Instead of appreciating the fact that we all have one thing in common,

we all seem to be snobbing one another..

I'm a waver always have been.

So your guaranteed to get a wave out of me..

I am from Newcastle way, been cruising around there in my R33 since WEAPN was Maroon and ZAL-OOV was Yellow. Its been a while, yes it has but I think I can still put a post in here.

With regards to Waves, if I see a R30/31 in respectable condition, I will look first to see if the driver cares enough to look back and then offer a wave (or a nod) but always in conjunction with a smile. I appreciate anything from the Skyline family as well as all the other performance Nissans.

Yep definitly people getting snobby out there.... My mate with his MX83 Cressida has heaps of other mates with cressida's!! They are all fairly close.. They all know each other, hang out, help one another, go on cruises all the time and really get along.....

Why can't we be like that.. Ill admit some of my mates are f$*kd sometimes like "Errr what are you waving at him for!!" Im like naa man he's cool dont worry. But their like err your gay if you talk to em... I just tell em to shut up anyhow... Its very childish really......

Yeah, definately..

I havnt been in for a while, been busy with work & doing my engine conversion. But on Sunday arvo, first time back, I waved to like every 31 to 33. The only person who even acknowledged was miiz_skyline :) Yeew!

But it's like, wtf? I'm just being polite, enjoying your car..

I think maybe some Skylines have fallen into the wrong hands..

All car enthusists & their cars should be respected, wheather you like the car or not. It's not a competition.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
