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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
