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

wel my mum drives my car to work everyday 4 the time being! dammit!

i dont realli like the extra K's n how she doesnt understand the speed bumbs are meant to be taken slow..

im gonna ride my motorbike to work when im old enough!!

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 :(

nick pull the old, "but its a 2 second drive and that means more time with you".......................pft.

haha she would see straight through my lie!

she was all high and mighty about walking to my place until some drunk guy started chasing her at 2am! now she drives too... as soon as it gets dark :(

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
