GT-R as Everyday Driver?


Recommended Posts

ok i know what he is saying, he prefers r32, personally i do the same, however, i would have to say r33 is prolly a better daily driver, more room etc, but personally i just think the r32 has more of an edge, and its more of a meaner sportas car with sharper edges, rather the curves of the r33, but i still accept all skylines as very brilliant vehicles...

I drive my R33 GTR everyday. Now my car has had a few more mods than your everyday Skyline out there.

The only thing I find a little annoying (but not enough to take the car off the road) is the twin plate clutch in peak hour traffic.

Besides that, all is well. If don't fang it everywhere, fuel consumption is still pretty good.

GTR Daily driver??

I start work at 7am and finish at 7pm need my coffee on the way to work and need to relax on the way home. I have no parking at work and every time i checked my car there were kids hanging around the car, and so i bought a soarer ltd as a daily driver. Awesome, smooth, holds my coffee, and no clutch.

Everyones different after a while the soarer makes you feel about 40 yrs old and after a while the GTR will give you the shites.

I heard Fatz is the man on the track so I am placing 1 grand!:)

I'll place two grand on fatz NOT having the fastest AVERAGE time around a track (he couldn't resist!)... but I'll put all I own on him being the most spectacular!!!!

I've know fatz for a bit... and not that he needs defending... but I know that he is a man that likes a car that has a set of gonads to match his own... ie, and those that have followed him around the creek will know, he is ABSOLUTLY crazy and expects his car to match.

Who here can honestly say that they have destroyed a set of new tyres in ONLY ONE day?

Shit my beer just ran out... who was it that owned that GTR with vbslab plates??? NEED YOUR HELP!

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
