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?

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
