So,

if you either have to sell the skyline to upgrade or downgrade - what would you get?

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

The mx5 - well I dont see myself replacing that for a few years, however my daily - 1995 bluebird I cannot wait to get rid of!

Im looking to buy my old mans VXii Berlina V6 - so comfy, 80k on clock, immaculate condition!

Im sick of manual for daily driving in traffic!

so whats your next car going to be??

I just bought a 32 GTR

but I dont know how practical it is for daily driving its more a weekend car for me :)

so might get and 2nd car that I dont have to worry about too much when parked or in shopping centres.

maybe a s13 non turbo manual :)

can have a little fun on a track with it aswell

If i was to sell the 32 i'd prob get a supra tt or possibly an evo 7,8,9. Always loved the supras. I've got a sprinter for a 2nd car and its alright. Stock 4ac atm though so its gutless but can still have a bit of fun. Is much better on fuel than the 32 also. Cant wait to do an engine conversion on it :)

im thinking a falcon ute once the fail-line is finished...need a good car to tow with as im not confident using the cressida for big trips with 2 ton of racecar and trailer hanging off the back....

Or a Toyota Aristo...mmmm 2jz + luxury + towing ability = win

R34 GTT or R33 GTR or if cbf with imports I'll probably grab one of the million SS como taxis floating around.

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

My current R33 makes a great daily driver, if I were to change to a local car then again proabably be one of those 2000 model SS commos seems to be the only thing with decent power for <$10k other than more imports. Also has 4 doors & a big boot for shopping duties.

so whats your next car going to be??

Probably a R34 GTT.

If we win a decent amount but not rediculous on tatslotto. Then an R35 gtr and an Audi family car.

Otherwise. If i was to change the family car. Maybe a newer model statesman or something along those lines. Really wouldn't worry me as I don't get much enjoyment out of driving them.

I may get rid of the R33 gts-t one day. Most likely if I ever get another performance car I will save up and wait another 20 years for my planned midlife crisis and get something more exotic and leave it standard.

Unless I win the jackpot I have no intentions of buying a new car in the near future for hobby purposes.

WAS going to be sooner rather than later but priorities change once you buy property...

in <2 years either keep my current car & buy an r34 GTR for trackdays

OR sell both cars i own & get an R35

OR if the stars align & I get hunkered down then a sedan of some description for a family, possibly a v36 sedan if they eventually approve them for import

yes I am a one eyed datsun fanboi

I own 2 Skylines; a R33 GTS and now a R33 GTR Vspec. Both of which have been modifyed to the point where they are no longer practical cars to drive everyday.

I have always wanted a daily driver V8 and what better choice than a FPV BF MKII GTP semi-auto. I'd have to go for the auto option because, living in Syndey has made me realise that, no one in sydney ever 'drives' to thier destination.....they simply 'crawl' to it as the traffic and road quality in Sydney is disgustingly bad. Driving manuals through Sydney traffic is a painful experience (especially with a twin plate clutch), the 6 speed auto offered by FPV just gives the best of both worlds.

With that said, I think a comfy Aussie V8 with a lazy 6 speed auto tranny would have to be the next vehicle of choice. Its got a great sound, its comfy as, the parts a cheap and available from everywhere and now that I'm 25+ I won't have any problems getting insurance as I did with the Skylines.

......maybe a nice Defillipo quad tip exhaust to go with it :P

    • @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?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
