I think you guys are talking about 2 different things, obviously because the size of your wallets are significantly different.

Those who ONLY currently have a skyline as their only car contemplate leaving it at home so they wont have to worry abt it getting dinged or damaged or piling on the ks, more significantly so because they want to keep it in tip top condition.

For those with much larger wallets and extra cars at home, the skyline IS their daily, its the car they dont mind getting dinged, bashed up, or piling on the ks cos this is their daily.

Its the same like some rich saudi oil tycoons who drive 360s as their daily driver...they dont care if it gets beat up or so...

ITs all abt the size of the wallet

I have a 240rwkw R33. I have a 1990 Ford Laser which I gave to my brother which he doesn't have his license yet. I use the Laser if my R33 is in the shop but I absolutely hate driving it around town and anywhere in fact when I could be driving the Skyline.

The Skyline is my daily driver and weekend joyrider. I didn't just spend $10k on mods for it to be driven 100-200km on the weekend.

I enjoy being in my Skyline so I drive it wherever I can :( I know sometimes you take risks with parking etc. but it's worth it when I get to jump in and drive off.

I actually look forward to driving home from work each arvo because I get to drive the Skyline. With the Laser, I never got that satisfaction. If I was to buy a daily shitter though I'd prob get an AE82, at least then I get some fun.

You guys have it all wrong (except for Dundan)...

Get a *NICE* daily driver. That's what you're going to be spending 95% of the time driving around in. This is what you're going to be driving around in all the time, why the hell would you subject yourself to driving a $1000 sh1tter everyday just because you're too scared to drive your skyline in case it gets hurt?!?! What's the point in that? You've got it all back-to-front :Oops:

After you have a NICE daily driver, go buy yourself a weekend/track car... Something that you wouldn't cry like a little baby over because someone dinged the door at the local shopping centre, or that you blow up at the next trackday. After-all, you only use it for fun and games, so who cares if you fix it when it blows up?

I don't know about you guys, but there's no way in hell I'm doing 20-30,000kms a year in a sh1tbox. I want to ENJOY those kms, and not drive around in a deathtrap torture chamber just so my "nice" car doesn't get hurt.......... or driven :uhh:

disclaimer: of course this doesn't apply to those people who can afford a Mercedes CLK55 daily driver AND an R34 GTR track car :(

go and take a warm blade to the lower half of your neck

but yes, r31 is the best car in the world. series 1/2 with left taillights that retain 3 litres of water, door knobs that fall off, and wanky young drivers

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
