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:

yeh my 32 is a daily driver, the only thing that shits me are stone chips in the bonnet :P other than that i cant drive anything else, im in the same boat as poombah, anything less than my line and its like, where the other half of the power 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.

El Bee

ps I make sure I get to drive on weekends.

Mines not i got a tx3 fwd turbo and rebuilt it and trash the balls out of it and th e car park dents and leaving it in fro does not bother me + it is good in traffic and i dont put 500kms a week on it now liner is sentimental

    • My R33 never ran more than stock boost but it was unclear whether the turbos would last. Maybe OP's car is less of a question mark but for my stock turbos had over 175k km on them + 25 years of use. That's a very long time to hope nobody has ever accidentally put physical shock through them, no debris in the exhaust gas stream, no boost leaks that could cause the compressor to spin faster than it otherwise should, no oil coking in the journals, no wear scars for any reason, etc. You could pull the turbos and disassemble to inspect/overhaul as needed but for that kind of effort you may as well replace the ceramic turbine with something that can take a bit more abuse no matter what you find in there. Stock boost ceramic turbos really don't make that much power either.
    • A Pillar forward?   The part above I was just looking at was the reo bar, I'd replace it, UNLESS the panel beater is GOOD. From your early photos, it did look like the chassis might be tweaked, or at the very least there was tweaks in radiator support. I'd personally do a new / second hand unmolested reo bar, and drill it, only so I know underneath the pretty painted front bar, there's not a mess of other metal that's been hit and smacked.
    • Yes no yes. Pineapple rings do do a certain amount of subframe "locking up", in that they do add some resistance to lateral movements. But the primary reason they exist is to alter the driveline angle. Depending on how you install them you can either increase or decrease rear traction __ a little bit __ by changing the angle of the lower control arms relative to the car/pinion angle. The thing is, given what they are, how and where they are installed, their lack of engagement with anything in particular, there's a limit to how much benefit they can offer. The GKTech collars put metal into the space in the stock format bushes, thereby limiting how much give they have. The rubber is still there to take up some force, albeit perhaps preloaded a little by having some extra metal jammed up into it, but the increase in stiffness comes from making it so that the stock format bush can't deflect that large bit of rubber over into the space adjacent to it, in any direction. Top AND bottom. Which the pineapples certainly do not do. As I said in my other thread - I'm convinced.
