At least 10, probably more...

Seriously, mine is a daily driver and why not?

Even highly modified (roadworthy - registered) skylines are fine daily drivers - just go easy on the fast pedal.

Mines a daily driver.

If i wanna conserve fuel i drive like a fairy and get around 12L/100km... which is almost as good as my mums toyota corrola...

Daily driver with the power when its needed, cant do better then that.

Yeah mine is a daily driver also. You can't worry about things like small scratches and stuff because then you will never drive your car! It will always sit in the garage collecting dust.

My R33 GTR is not only a daily driver,it's my rep car.I do about 150-200km every day in it,then when I get home I run the kids around in it.I'm in the car for up to 6 hours a day.

They love being picked up from school in a 350rwkw GTR.

Before that I was using my 250rwkw S15.I did 185,000km in 4 years in that car.I only drive it about once a week now.

Doesnt make much sense owning a nice car and not driving it everyday.I've been doing that for 25 years now,never owned a shitter to drive while my GT/Challenger/Chevelle/GTR sat in the shed.

My line's a DD.

I try to drive off boost as much as possible when I'm about 5-10 mins away from reaching my destination on long trips.

Short trips I don't usually bother

I've gotten so used to driving my line that driving anything less irritates me :lol:

Ours is driven just about every day.

Unfortunately, I drive around in a work van during the week, but my Wife can always find a reason to drive it.

We've had it a bit over 3 years and have added 100,000 kms to the original reading.

ps I make sure I get to drive on weekends.

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
