Number Of Km's Per Week?


Recommended Posts

Come on fella's i need a bit of a reality check here. Who puts the most KM's on their Skyline a week? GTst and GTR?

Just curious. I seem to have gotten it in my head that these are fragile little cars that need protecting!! LOL!! And cant cope with general useage, which i know isnt true... Im still thinking of buying a cheap run around as a second car when i have to go back to a 40KM round trip to work and back early next year... ( at the moment im renting within walking distance of my work)

So give it to me..... I can take it.... :wave:

Heya, I have been using mine for work and general running about, totals about 350km per week, been a good car when I keep it serviced. But I have been thinking of buying a rolla' as a work car and keeping the skyine for weekends - done the maths and it should work out cheaper :wave:

Oh' its a R32 GTS4...

I used to put on 500-600kms a week with my line a few years ago.

Man imagine paying for that now...

Nowadays about a tank a week so ~430kms.

Man, I abuse my car in terms of usage.

I average around 700 a week in a 33 gtst.

Alot of highway/freeway type driving and I usually get around 12l/100kms.

Living 60ks away from your workplace is bad!

same boat man,

cept my workplace is all over qld- so at times i drive like 1200kms to work lol.

Prob average maybe 550-650km per week tho..

I car pool of sorts, so only take the 53km return trip to work 2-3 times a week. Throw in a little drive on the weekends.... fill up every 2nd week. (edit... 1.5 weeks LOL)

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
