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...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
