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'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
