my gtr is driven every day of the year if i dont take it to work my partner takes it to tafe we do aprox 600 k a week in it and driven normally it gives us about 450 k's for 62 litres of fuel (its cheaper to run around in the the commonwhore i used to own and is cheaper to run than our lite-ace 1.3 litre 8 seater wagon).

i cant see the point of having a great car and hiding it away from everyone how can you appreciate something if its hidden away and not driven.

Daily. Have a corolla but there is no point in selling it so it sits in the garage. (too much for RWC)

Bought the cefiro a year ago with about with 168,000 and just hit 200,000 last friday :)

Used to drive mine as a daily driver. As I worked evenings and weekeneds.

Now with the 9-5 M-F job in the CBD I cannot and drive the car on the weekends. Or evenings when I got out to dinner etc...

Has its bad a good points, less fuel but Im always itching to drive the car now.

everyday to and from work wish I had a company car though

i drive my 33 gtst everyday to and from both work places, and anywhere i go on weekends.

however, i did drive my NA 33 on the long trips more when i owned both.

lucky for me, both the places I work at are only 5km away from my house :nyaanyaa: so i've driven only 20,000kms since i bought it in sept '04

Weekend Warrior with instances during the week...

Again working in the CBD makes driving daily a little bit impractical - especially sitting in peak hour traffic watching your fuel gauge go down :D

Besides, what's better than going home each day in a Mercedes or a Volvo with a very friendly bunch of people squashed in like sardines smelling only a little bit better?

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
