What Do You Drive?

Correct me if i'm wrong but for one reason or another a lot of people have daily drive cars, well at least I think they do???

Whether it's because you like to tow your "real car" to those track days, or if it's the petrol bill at the end of the month that stops you driving your skyline (insert other imported/sports car here)

Maybe it's because you don't want to clock up so many km's every week on your pride and joy commuting in traffic, maybe it's because you don't like driving to and from work with that guilty feeling that you are going to be reported to the epa or pulled up and have that boost controller spotted....

for whatever reason it is that you feel you need a more subtle car for your day to day ventures, what is it that you chose for your daily driver and why?

I am looking into getting something in the next few months and i have been leaning towards a hot hatch of some description, namely a pug 306 gti-6 basically because it's a semi hoons car without the attention, they have leather and a sunroof, and a fairly punchable 2.0 donk, and they seem like they would be a reasonably comfortable and economical drive.

down side to the pug is they have no towing capabilities what so ever. hmmmm fiddle dee dee. :P

at the moment I drive my skyline to work everyday, but I want to buy a shitter eventually. I love driving my car and haven't had any hassles whatsoever with it, but maintenance and petrol costs build up pretty quickly when you're doing 5-600kms a week just for work + all the other driving you do in it...

Anyone selling a cheap little manual laser or something similar, with some rego left over, let me know :P

Super Jazz FTW

VERY economical, amazing interior space, does reasonable handbrake turns and has a huge wang to impress the laydees.

agreed (cept for the handbrake turn and impressing the laydees) - i rather use my 'line for weekend driving.

The jazz is perfect, cos then I can load my beagle in the back and he will have plenty of space to lie down or move around in (at the moment he is scared sh*tless of the skyline). Plus the economical 1.3 or 1.5 means that ur doing max 6ltrs/100 - perfect! Oh and I know this is a nissan skyline forum, but hondas make very reliable cars - so if I were to get the Jazz, I wouldnt change it for a fair few years (unless the worlds supply of petrol runs out) :)

i drive my skyline every day to work and back

it would shit me to tears to drive any other car

i work my ass off for my car and i love driving it to bits, so it would suck to settle for anything less such as a crap econo box daily driver

perfectly put Paul!

It would only take me half an hour to walk and yet I still take the line everyday

GF just shakes her head when I drive to her house... that's a 7 minute walk... or so she keeps reminding me :(

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
