Lol what would you put them on? Probably won't clear 6 pot new STI calipers.
 
 


I bet if I'm buying these, he'll lowball me by swapping his taxi for it [emoji14]

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. 

Rego maintenance negated by new car depreciation of 5k a year?

How enjoyed is the daily drive though? I think it ruins the weekend car - get in for a cruise and feel like you're driving to work lol

Mind you I'm currently doing what you're doing, sans buying a new car, I just believe the other way to be superior if you got the space for it

Not negated if I'm buying a new car anyway as a weekender 

Agree it makes the car feel less special, space isn't an issue if you have a shitty daily just put it outside, I guess your issue is your two cars are both too nice for that :P 

Taxi needs to sell soon, on holidays the next few weeks then ill have to start dropping price (rego due Dec) cbf renewing 
Grant you need a Taxi in your life. 


Had taxi, wouldn't recommend.

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 know what you mean. Any daily for me would have to be able to get to 100 in less than 7 seconds, or have some turbo diesel punch to 70-80km/h.

Pretty much the plan. Though I suspect a bottom end bearing is waking itself up slowly, so the GTS-T may go into the workshop for preventative maintenance when the GTR is out. Will solve my storage problems short term...

Yeah they both mean a lot to me and are unfortunately very stealable :( 

GTS-T has already had two attempts made on it

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
