These days i dont daily my gtr as i fly alot but the misso drives it to work regularly. Kinda expensive but she seems to enjoy it. Been up her lately as it has gone from an original 21000ks when we bought it to now just over 60000ks. Would love to keep ot under the magic 80000k mark

I used to daily my Bayside Blue GTT up until it was written off by a p plater.

Put over 30,000kms on it in just over a year...

 

I've since bought a replacement. But as my main form of transport is now public, I imagine this will see far less daily usage.

So who has a mechanical lsd in their daily? What type, and how do you rate it?

It's more like a 'twice-weekly' than a daily but the R34 is our only car and has a Nismo 1.5-way in it. Hmm.... I'm learning to live with it but the diff is not great cold, or in the suburban shuffle in general. Some more impressions here: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/466340-nismo-gt-vs-gt-pro-run-in-time/?do=findComment&comment=7779277

KAAZ 1.5 way in my daily

Best modification I did to the car, and I've done a lot. The handling dynamics are chalk and cheese. With a 1.5 way the chassis listens to you - even on the limits it's point and steer as long as you're good with your throttle and brake inputs.

They are clunky for the first 2-3000km (read: someone repeatedly hitting the back of your car with a hammer when turning) but this gets significantly better as it beds in. Pro tip: ditch the stock 75w90 oil after run in (1000km) and use Penrite's 85w140 LS - it's thicker and quietens the diff, particularly after it gets hot. Don't need the clutches to bite so hard on the street. This goes for the Nismo 1.5 way too.

It's now very friendly and streetable - probably helps I've learned how to drive it smoothly too. Low speed turns out of slip lanes when off-boost can occasionally feel like driving a locker - this is the only hindrance I notice these days.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
