missusR34GT Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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..

D_I_F Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 most of the time is a low daily.. I usually switch between cars as my bike has no rego. Once I have that back on the road they will be for when I'm too lazy to ride Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220349-how-often-do-you-drive-your-car/page/2/#findComment-3886656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomnaya Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.

snappy_ Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.

Spiral Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I've totalled around 4000 kms since buying it in December 07, mine is a daily driver and I drive it whenever I have the slightest excuse Thankfully the country town work journey takes 5 minutes.

nuclear_skyline Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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!?

DRD-00F Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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' 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 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!

GTRsean Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.

Cassbo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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 . That being said, I drive my Skyline everywhere. For example on the Sunday/Monday of the July long weekend look where I'm going I found out how to edit this post... get rid of the long and ugly code that I vomited here Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220349-how-often-do-you-drive-your-car/page/2/#findComment-3887411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

llama_au Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) 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, 000kmsLooking 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 Edited May 22, 2008 by llama_au Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220349-how-often-do-you-drive-your-car/page/2/#findComment-3887631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJD001 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.
