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.

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
