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...

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
