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

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

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
