GTS-t VSPEC Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Geoff, Haha, don't get me in trouble. My bunky was a 1991 Pulsar, but has since been upgraded to a new Ford Focus. And another project bunky, 260Z, may soon be joining it on the driveway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183809-tough-decision/page/4/#findComment-3373668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keets Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have a baby sh!t brown Pulsar as a daily driver and a modded 32 GT-R as my....car i never get to drive lol. When i drive the R it always fun but I drove it into the office and home a couple of time during rush hour(s) and it was not much fun. Its not what the cars really about. Its about taking it for a squirt on the weekends or a track day...if I ever get home or going on a cruise. If I had to drive my R to work everyday I would wear it out without the pleasure of using the power, plus you can' park/abandon a bunky in town, in Freo or at a footy game (if your that way inclined) and not have to worry that some arsehat has ripped it off, scratched it or dented it . Get a bunky search for the right R Paul...260z Bunky sounds nice Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183809-tough-decision/page/4/#findComment-3375805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I drove my R to work today, peak freeway traffic plus I have this Nismo twin plate now which is still not bedded in *sigh. Normally I drive my '79 Escort bunky. If I don't drive my Skyline every 4-5 days the battery goes flat.

HypeR33 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 As someone who has already done your GTST option...I would say go the GTR. Thats what I am going to do. The money that I have spent on this I could have almost bought a 33GTR and kept this as a pretty stockish daily. Live and learn is all I can say Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183809-tough-decision/page/4/#findComment-3376940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyP Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 After picking up my R on Tuesday, I've finally realised that owning an R isn't as easy as I had assumed. I noticed today on the road that Skylines..especially GTRs are rarely seen on the road during the middle of the day. WRXs, XR's, HSVs, SS etc are so common no one really stops to stare at them really, though i must admit this purple 6ltr with massive kit and bonnet scoop was a hell head turner today. But between the space of 1 and 5pm on Tuesday, I had countless local hood rats yell out 'that's sick man' , a fat lady bend my mirror trying to get in between my whale and her whale of a 4WD, schoolies take mobile phone pics of my car (according to the hairdresser where the car was parked across from) and every person driving next to me just gauking at my car / wanting to drag me. Now some people would like that attention, but seriously all of the above just made me so paranoid that I'm now considering not using the R as my work car, which was the main intention of use for the car. Driving it daily to work and back, especially if you're car is in a secured spot would be an ok thing but after my short experience this week I'm re-thinking about my use for the R. I think what it will boil down to are the places I have to visit during the day, and if any involve Midland Gate or going to places in the likes of Swan View then I won't be driving the car.
