wtf do you guys just take your cars up and down your street once a month or something?

I do over 400ks a week and it's also a "weekender"

Use it...

damn right. I do over 20,000km a year, 5yrs running.

car is not growing in value and with skylines being in the range of $5000 - $15,000 already no need to treat them like a Ferrari ~_~

I drive my car everywhere, but I'm not going to drive it for the sake of driving :P

Work is 10 mins drive and usually too lazy to go for a drive cos I work evenings which usually limits how far I can drive, also usually hate weekend drives cos its full of idiots thinking its ok to not allow you to pass on decent roads...

fair enough also driving a defectable car might put you off driving it but that didn't stop me clocking over 60,000Ks in my 3 years ownership of the old r34. 85% of which was pointless weekend cruising...

to be honest even if i had a fezza i'd still put decent K's on it probably cut down a bit on the cruising but meh it's a car that's what it's for

Rimon, didn't really worry about getting defected its just simple driving on freeway can be really frustrating when there's idiots doing 100 or less on right lane, idiots not following speed limits (I.e. less than posted) and pull over and let faster cars pass.

Just need to find a place and time for driving, which I've always putting off unless I'm being egged into going cruises.

I'd do minimum 500 a week just to and from work. So easily 6-700km a week on the ol EA.

put about 60,000 on the 33 when I had it to, and that's with something like 6 months in the workshop

lol Grant it doesn't have to be a thrash session every time you take it out :rolleyes:

put almost 20,000Ks on the awdi since i got it ~6 months ago

just think it's a waste might aswell sell it and get people to drop you off places if you're hardly doing any K's

unless it's an investment then just put it in storage and forget about it

Of course not, I mean, simply pottering about can even be frustrating when you see a idiot doing this, even worse when you see L platers doing that and is being encouraged by their parents/instructors.

    • It's in the bloody domain name twice! Yes...the GTR boxen have, for some reason, been cheaper than the RWD boxen for a long time. 10 years ago the GTST box was available here for <AU$3k. 5 years ago the GTT box was available for ~AU$3300. Both retail through 3rd party. Now the GTT box is >4k locally and only available for less if you're willing to jump through some hoops. Apparently they can be ordered from Nissan dealers for $3-3.5k at trade pricing. A friend of mine has a new GTT box sitting on his showroom floor that I keep wanting to hit him up for but I'd somewhat rather he sold it to someone else at his asking price than to me for a mate's rates discount.

    • Hi Gents, Someone I know (experienced engine builder) built an engine. It had some chinesium rods that came with ARP 2000 bolts. One failed on the dyno, destroyed the whole thing. The only possibilities are: Installation error. Possible, but we should discount it almost 100% because he knows what he's doing. He doesn't discount it that much, because he's being hard on himself. QC/QA problems with ARP products. I'd like to discount this, but I have heard a number of stories about similar failures, and stories of some builders buying 2 sets of everything, x-raying everything, and picking only those bolts that they are completely happy with. This behaviour coming from anecdotal stories of ~1% failure rates. 1% of all rod bolts failing would be about 1000x higher than I would expect to be anywhere near tolerable. If I were ARP I certainly wouldn't even be selling the product if they were dying at that rate (for non-installation error reasons). So, I would prefer to discount that possibility too. Fakes. Specifically, fakes being sold bundled with cheap rods sets from CCP factory B in Shenzen, or wherever the stuff is being made this week. So the question here is, does anyone else have some horror stories that would point to fakes being circulated in this manner?
    • I forget this is an au website, my GTR FS5R30A was 2200 AUD delivered but I did have to go to a warehouse near the port to pick it up myself.
