At least 10, probably more...

Seriously, mine is a daily driver and why not?

Even highly modified (roadworthy - registered) skylines are fine daily drivers - just go easy on the fast pedal.

Mines a daily driver.

If i wanna conserve fuel i drive like a fairy and get around 12L/100km... which is almost as good as my mums toyota corrola...

Daily driver with the power when its needed, cant do better then that.

Yeah mine is a daily driver also. You can't worry about things like small scratches and stuff because then you will never drive your car! It will always sit in the garage collecting dust.

My R33 GTR is not only a daily driver,it's my rep car.I do about 150-200km every day in it,then when I get home I run the kids around in it.I'm in the car for up to 6 hours a day.

They love being picked up from school in a 350rwkw GTR.

Before that I was using my 250rwkw S15.I did 185,000km in 4 years in that car.I only drive it about once a week now.

Doesnt make much sense owning a nice car and not driving it everyday.I've been doing that for 25 years now,never owned a shitter to drive while my GT/Challenger/Chevelle/GTR sat in the shed.

My line's a DD.

I try to drive off boost as much as possible when I'm about 5-10 mins away from reaching my destination on long trips.

Short trips I don't usually bother

I've gotten so used to driving my line that driving anything less irritates me :lol:

yeh my 32 is a daily driver, the only thing that shits me are stone chips in the bonnet :P other than that i cant drive anything else, im in the same boat as poombah, anything less than my line and its like, where the other half of the power lol

Ours is driven just about every day.

Unfortunately, I drive around in a work van during the week, but my Wife can always find a reason to drive it.

We've had it a bit over 3 years and have added 100,000 kms to the original reading.

ps I make sure I get to drive on weekends.

Mines not i got a tx3 fwd turbo and rebuilt it and trash the balls out of it and th e car park dents and leaving it in fro does not bother me + it is good in traffic and i dont put 500kms a week on it now liner is sentimental

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
