Car : 2003 Mazda 6

Colour: Metallic Silver

Best Feature: 4 cup holders in the front, sunroof, leather, reverse parking sensors, 7 speaker Bose sound system with 6 disc in dash stacker, 10.1L/100km/s (Compared to 22L/100kms in the beast).

Simply put it in drive and off you go. No hassles, no worries of anything breaking.

Worst Feature: None really to speak of. I can't complain about it.

Performance: Can't do 10.4 sec 1/4 mile passes.

Would I drive it again by choice: I bought it so I guess yes...

What would prefer as a daily driver: BMW E46 M3.

My Car: r33 , this is the only car I own

Car driven most days: My r33 , except if i have to park it somewhere for a while then I take my mums 1999 glxi laser.

Performance: skyline = fun , laser = automatic

Complaints: Parking and leaving my car is sometimes a little worrying.

The laser is automatic

I would like a 360 modena in red as my daily driver :P

the girly skyline is the daily driver, i show/race and drive. Looking at getting a shitter though so if you know of any please pm.

OK, this thread has suddenly taken a feminine turn for the better. Why does my temperature go up whenever a girl who's into cars is around?:P

my car is the only one i own but i dont drive it daily though

1989 r31 silo

likes: goes alright for an inline 6 3L, looks cool, beats most commonwhores.....good fuel consumption

dislikes: 2 slow for my liking but not $$ means no performance

gets treated like sh*t most times i drive

hmmm everybody is posting their skyline which is the only car they own :P Don't think that was the intention, but hey, I like it!

I think owning a 2nd car is great, and I wish I had one by choice (and one that wasn't quite so trashy) rather than necessity while mine is away.. Seeing as you have got to spend at least $800 running each year ($530 for rego + assuming $270 for 3rd party), not the cheapest thing.

Then again, if you just think you're saving $800 on possible damage (scratches, assholes stealing stuff out of there) or just petrol you'd use in your skyline in that year, then it doesn't seem so bad.

As stated by Pred...

Car: 1988 Lada Niva Cabrio

Worst feature: Noisy, agricultural and generally uncivilised.

Best feature: See above ;)

Performance: Hahaha!

Interesting feature: So many to mention:

- Was orginally owned by Andrew Daddo (yes, the TV guy) - I am the 2nd owner

- Has a crank-start (ala Model-T Ford) for when the battery is flat (note I say WHEN not IF)

- Only 100 were ever made as a convertible by Lada

- Spare tyre is under the bonnet

- Lada Niva came 2nd and 3rd in Paris-Dakar in 1982-84 to a works Mitsu Pajero

I have many more 'crazy' Lada facts if anyone cares...

Dream daily driver: WRX STi Hatch, Liberty B4, E55 (yeah) or, this :rolleyes:...

Is called the Niva Marsh and can be purchased new in Russia (about $40k - cheaper than a helicopter).

Was developed as an extreme all-terrain vehicle that would cause minimal environmental damage (unlike a tracked vehicle). It's actually amphibious (has a small propeller out the back) and can float on those tyres. Pity it still has the 1960's 1600 OHC carby Fiat engine.

Pretty cool though:)

My car Skyline is my daily drive as well. Wish I did have enought money to have a second bomb as a daily drive.

I even use my Skyline to do home delivery around Prahan area dude!!! Clocking up heaps of Ks, should see their face tho when I rock up with loud exhaust and stickers all over my car hehe.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
