Both our 33 and 34's are daily drivers.. 34 is used more because it's our family car and more fuel economic than the 33.. has four doors too.. both are over 100, 000kms

Looking for a 31 or anything that is fuel economic... petrol prices seem to be going up everyday..

Mine is finally my daily again!!

low kms this time around seeing I don't commute 100+ kms a day anymore!! Used to be 50,000kms a year... now I drive 3.2 kms each way to and from work :rofl:

My other daily, zeddles is currently being put to good use by Smoky :P

Bought my line last May with 68,000 on the clock... Just cracked 114,000 today. I love driving the thing, but I do wear parts out...

Little things start to worry you when you drive a tuned line as much as I do. My gear box is on the edge... The synchros arent working properly and it crunches into 2nd and 3rd. No amount of additive or oil changes can rectify that, and knowing that it could shit itself pretty much anywhere is a concern.

But hey, its the joy of owning a line isnt it!?

I work in the city so i take the peasant transport. The R34 is a pretty much a weekend car. Occassionally we use it to go to the in-laws for dinner during the week but that's like once or twice.

once or twice a week is probably closer to 'repetatively' or 'frequently' then 'occasionally' :D

I dont drive mine very much mostly cos im doing something to it. Also have the mity AE82 rolla and free public transport.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to buy a ticket man :O

Saw petrol prices rise in March, so got myself a bike, drive 2 days, ride 3 days just to be on the safe side.

Then last Friday, got hit by a van, so back to driving everyday.

BAHAHAA and this one's just funny! :O

Hope you and the bike are ok thought :)

i drive mine every day, work, mates, where ever i go i drive it but i'm in canberra so traffic is never as bad as sydney

bought my car last october with 73,000 on it and now it has 93,000 on it so 20,000 in 7 months :D

Had my car nearly 4 years now. Bought it with 65,000 on the aftermarket speedo.

Now has 167,000. Same engine as when I bought it, just service every 3000k.

On my second gearbox I got rebuilt at the moment.

Happy cruising guys.

I drive around 400kms a week in my Skyline a week minimum, 50% of those kilometres are driven on Thursday night during the Coastie Cruise :O.

That being said, I drive my Skyline everywhere. For example on the Sunday/Monday of the July long weekend look where I'm going :O

I found out how to edit this post... get rid of the long and ugly code that I vomited here :D

The Pulsar - 2-3 days per week when it's not having work done. Sometimes I don't get to drive it for a month or two because of work. That's coming to an end in the next few months. It was daily driven for 3 years until Jan 2006.

The R34 - nearly every day. I do about 300-400km's per week in it and work is not much more than a 10km round trip...

The R31 - it used to be driven every day by my partner, goes to it's new owner in the next couple of days.

Both our 33 and 34's are daily drivers.. 34 is used more because it's our family car and more fuel economic than the 33.. has four doors too.. both are over 100, 000kms

Looking for a 31 or anything that is fuel economic... petrol prices seem to be going up everyday..

Don't buy an R31 for fuel economy :D

Edited by llama_au

mine is lucky to get driven 3 times a month.

Boss picks me up and drops me home everyday , and the days that he cant and i cant get a lift with anyone else i can grab a work van/ute or borrow a car from the dealership!

Id hate to see the fuel economy id get if i was driving it everyday. Tuggerah to Hornsby everyday.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
