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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/772/#findComment-7844851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

admS15 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 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.

TiTAN Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 But it's manual? f**k city traffic in a manual.Also, 20 years old so it doesn't have the modern conveniences and will have more mechanical issues simply due to age.

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.

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.

Leroy Peterson Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just just daily the GTR.With $15k and some overnight parts from Japan, you could get it somewhat reliable.

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.
