My R33 is my daily car (only car). Gets driven pretty much everyday, has done close to 5000 km since I bought it last Dec.

I use around 3/4 a tank a week. & thats 95% "normal" driving :P

Looked down at the tripometer this evening while up at the coast, and I happen to look exactly when it was on 888.8

I thought it had shat itself and was putting out an error :P

But anyway, it's at like 950kms now, pretty much empty, but that may well be two tanks of petrol, I'm not sure if I pushed the button right... last monday...

:D

Use to drive the skyline everyday. Now that i have a second car,the skyline has been off the road for about 6 months.Will be a weekend car and will use for club days,sprints things like that.

I used to drive my skyline daily when I lived with my parents out west. (work at the city)

I live about 20mins from the city now, so good bye to peak hour, sydney drivers & skyline petrol prices!.. now at 1.60+ for premium!.. Soon to be 2.00!

Catch the train to & from work now, weekends - I drive my cousins cars, or I get picked up.

My car is up for sale as I don't drive it.

I get to sleep in too!

My BA Falcon, daily driver...does less then 4km daily :P

My R34 gets driven on weekend only (if I am lucky enough). Had it for just over 2years, first owner in aust and I've done less then 4000km. (atm its sitting just under 57000km)

i have not drove my R32 for over a month now, i only drive my shitbox to work and back which is about 20 to 30kmh there and back and when petrol is near on $2 a liter my skizza loves the fuel alot full tank wont get me over 300kmh;(

i drive my baby every single day from going to the shops to going to work to going on a cruise just for the hell of it to roasting marsh mellows from the flames and heat from the exhaust lol........... i love it and i know its expensive to run compared to a kia rio... one thing allot of people dont know is a car with a small engine and isnt maintained well or gets thrashed because your used to a skyline tends to eat asmuch petrol as the skyline..... trust me my last car was a 2001 rio....... anyway im 21, got no one dependent on me and no mortgage at the moment so might aswell savour the moment while petrol is still at a reasonable price compared to where it will be in 5 years time and drive my car as much as i can..... and since im on p's and i love driving the line my liver has had a break since i drink less due to wanting to drive now days so the skyline is good for my health and well being...

my line is now a low km daily driver, if you asked me 3 months ago would of been high kms.... generally 600km's a week min.

Now im lucky of sorts - about 200km's a week work is like 5km return lol.

well i switch between my cars sometimes its the skyline and sometimes i use the leganza when its available as that is like the "family car" and everyone shares the leganza but i only have to drive two minutes to work everyday...

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
