Arguments on both sides, some would say no point having a cheap daily if that's what you spend most time in, obviously if you could have a baller daily and baller weekender that's different, I'm going down that path with motorbikes though, track bike and road bike, at least they're cheaper $. 

I thought 9.5? Check out some of the Vertini, HRE, Niche etc , thewheeldeal website has some good options, I think eastcoast tyres also recently opened a shop in Bayswater (they are big in sydney for holden and ford ranger boys) 

Nah...cheap daily pros:

- Appreciate nice weekender more

- Less f**ks given if it's stolen or smashed

- Less depreciation from high mileage

- Generally better fuel economy

- No compromise made on the weekender which can have two doors and no tow bar

- Auto daily, manual weekender

All rounders compromise somewhere...in comfort or fun factor

All in one. Daily and track hack. No f**ks given for fuel economy or if it gets smashed or stolen. Comfortable enough as long as there's no speed humps and fast enough at the track to leave some dedicated track cars with a wtf look. If I needed to, I'd consider a tow bar. R33 GTST, perfect weapon for that type of thing. Definitely a compromise but still works damn good.

This is what I'm doing now and it is one of the better cars to pick as an all rounder, but if I had the space I'd have an econobox auto daily for sure. Probably a Hyundai as their recent models are damn good value for money.

When I had a 34 GT-T auto with stock suspension, it made me appreciate the 33 manual more on weekends and vice versa.

The 33 won't work for everyone but in my current circumstance, it's perfect. I have an m35 stagea which is as comfy as driving a sofa as a back up car/workhorse but would rather daily the 33. Why have a fast car and drive a slow car everyday. It's just not something I can do. I've never driven anything slower than a 14 sec car and I'm not about to start now. Yes, there are newer tech cars out there that can do the job but then you've got to factor in depreciation, costs to make them faster and most of them don't make you feel like your really driving.

If I was you birds, I'd keep dailying the GTST and track it if you feel the need and have gtr as weekend duties mobile.

I barely drive on the weekends as it is, and if I do it's to the track anyway(towbar) or to coles, fuel economy negated by having to pay rego, insurance, maintenance on a 2nd car.

I wouldn't want to spend 6-10 hours during the week driving a shittier daily to only have much less time in a nice weekender.

Auto daily and manual weekender would be nice though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
