Correct me if i'm wrong but for one reason or another a lot of people have daily drive cars, well at least I think they do???

Whether it's because you like to tow your "real car" to those track days, or if it's the petrol bill at the end of the month that stops you driving your skyline (insert other imported/sports car here)

Maybe it's because you don't want to clock up so many km's every week on your pride and joy commuting in traffic, maybe it's because you don't like driving to and from work with that guilty feeling that you are going to be reported to the epa or pulled up and have that boost controller spotted....

for whatever reason it is that you feel you need a more subtle car for your day to day ventures, what is it that you chose for your daily driver and why?

I am looking into getting something in the next few months and i have been leaning towards a hot hatch of some description, namely a pug 306 gti-6 basically because it's a semi hoons car without the attention, they have leather and a sunroof, and a fairly punchable 2.0 donk, and they seem like they would be a reasonably comfortable and economical drive.

down side to the pug is they have no towing capabilities what so ever. hmmmm fiddle dee dee. :P

at the moment I drive my skyline to work everyday, but I want to buy a shitter eventually. I love driving my car and haven't had any hassles whatsoever with it, but maintenance and petrol costs build up pretty quickly when you're doing 5-600kms a week just for work + all the other driving you do in it...

Anyone selling a cheap little manual laser or something similar, with some rego left over, let me know :P

wel my mum drives my car to work everyday 4 the time being! dammit!

i dont realli like the extra K's n how she doesnt understand the speed bumbs are meant to be taken slow..

im gonna ride my motorbike to work when im old enough!!

Super Jazz FTW

VERY economical, amazing interior space, does reasonable handbrake turns and has a huge wang to impress the laydees.

agreed (cept for the handbrake turn and impressing the laydees) - i rather use my 'line for weekend driving.

The jazz is perfect, cos then I can load my beagle in the back and he will have plenty of space to lie down or move around in (at the moment he is scared sh*tless of the skyline). Plus the economical 1.3 or 1.5 means that ur doing max 6ltrs/100 - perfect! Oh and I know this is a nissan skyline forum, but hondas make very reliable cars - so if I were to get the Jazz, I wouldnt change it for a fair few years (unless the worlds supply of petrol runs out) :)

i drive my skyline every day to work and back

it would shit me to tears to drive any other car

i work my ass off for my car and i love driving it to bits, so it would suck to settle for anything less such as a crap econo box daily driver

perfectly put Paul!

It would only take me half an hour to walk and yet I still take the line everyday

GF just shakes her head when I drive to her house... that's a 7 minute walk... or so she keeps reminding me :(

nick pull the old, "but its a 2 second drive and that means more time with you".......................pft.

haha she would see straight through my lie!

she was all high and mighty about walking to my place until some drunk guy started chasing her at 2am! now she drives too... as soon as it gets dark :(

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
