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...

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
