Well Guys.

As the title i'm really enthusiastic to see what you guys drive around on a daily basis or even your Sunday driver etc. Just rather no track cars. Also wouldn't mind seeing some rebuild photos if you have them. Looked everywhere for a similar thread but only found ones for Track Cars.

Perfect Time to show off your daily.

This is my sexy lil daily. Complete with 1.6L engine and manual gearbox, 230,000kms on the clock, it it honestly the cleanest BJ 323 I've worked on over 100,000kms! Being a Mazda mechanic, I see quite a few. Best thing is, only issue we've ever had from it got my an apprenticeship too, so it means a lot!

Dad bought it brand new, then gave it to Mum, who sold it to my sister, who lent it to me cos she has a company car. $50 for 580km each tank, insane reliability, all for free? How can you get better!!

Those dents were from the 6 months my sister owned the car. Otherwise its perfect inside and out! No oil leaks either :whistling:

My current "Bunky" is a 2010 Mazda 3 with 1500km, yesterday was a 2010 Mazda 2 with 4000kms, and Monday it was a Mazda Bravo with 215,000km....

Alternatively my sister has taken the Mazda so the Skyline is now my daily... Even though its quite broken :P

    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
