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!

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
