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...

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
