When I had my 33 it was a DailyDriver. I had a 70km each way commute and I wanted to enjoy it.

XR6t was a daily too and now that's gone and I'm back in the VR4 it goes everywhere I need to go too.

I mean why have a nice/fun car but drive a $hitebox to save a few bux that you probably end up spending (and more) to keep the heap on the road?

I'll tell ya why. Cause the bastard scares shite out of me and tries to maim me everytime I drive it. I need time to recover between drives. At least my $hitebox has a turbo though.

thats exactly how i look at it dude. i do keep in mind though that if i park it somewhere or if i use it daily then ugly things could happen to it but i am prepared to risk it to be honest and i'd rather spend money fixing my main car than a shitbox. i don't see the point in spending all that money on a car making it go and look good and only driving it once or twice a week.

each to their own i guess. :)

Every day. Usually about 500km a week. Paid $1.53 yesturday for petrol. Its expensive but still cheaper than having another run around car. And i get to enjoy myself everyday driving the skyline too!

Used to be daily but with the price of fuel Lately I only drive on weekends I save $60 a week on fuel and parking and also my insurance has dropped because it is only limited use now.

It was my daily driver during Uni when I had no money. I have a cheap car for my daily now that I have money. Probably the wrong way around to do things, but hey, I could only afford one car at uni, it may as well be a fun one!

Unfortunatly these days with work, I only take the skyline out 2 or 3 times per month. :D Two weeks away followed by a week working in the city means that it pretty much doesn't get used during that period. Then in my week off I might dust it off and take it out for some fun.

Just a weekend cruiser and every now and again. Although i must admit that i think its spent prob as much time off the road as it has on... Would love to drive it every day, but i had a shitter to drive to work (just wrote it off) Id rather drive round a little cheap car most of the time, cause its cheaper and you dont have to worry about where you park it, c**ts keying it, getting stolen etc...

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • 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!
