Hey guys,

Was having this discussion with my mate the other day, Do you guys daily drive you're skyline?

Particularly the GTR's? Because given the fact that half of the one for sale have like 50,000kms on them they can't be daily driven. But doe's anyone on here daily drive theres?

I daily drive my GTT but ofcourse that doesn't compare to a GTR ;)

I split my daily drive duties between cars, but the R32 GT-R gets a go a few days a week.

The vast majority of the 50,000km examples aren't legit, let alone anything close to daily driven.

Mine says it was imported in 2009 with 77,000km on it and it's at 122,000km now. The guy I bought it off daily drove it.

Not a GTR (of course) but I drive my 4door daily. Not the cheapest on fuel, but the RB growl puts a smile on my face and gives me a tingle both to and from work. Love it !

Most of my driving is pretty much to work and back so why not enjoy it?

plenty are daily driven. plenty of them are imported with "adjusted" odometers (or are altered once here). can be as simple as putting in an odometer with lower kms.

after all, it's not like the skyline (gtr or not) is some ultra rare,, fragile, expensive supercar (although some people might think they are)

Hell the stagea just has all the same engine and suspension bits in a family wagon.

I daily drove my HCR32, then my GT-R. Been daily-ing my GT-R for two years now, sometimes hitting 1,000+km per week (for old work). Yes fuel wise it's stupid, but hey, they are cars and are meant to be driven. Only issue I had were the AFMs playing up and an alternator dying, but it's a twenty year old car, what do you expect? Don't know why people thing they will explode every time you hit boost.

Nowadays I do far less kms, but will park it as soon as I rego my R31, it's not that safe parked at train station.

BTW, low km imports are generally a load of crap. When I bought the Nismo cluster for mine, I wound the km forward to match the old cluster's mileage.

Don't drive my R33 GTR daily as I have a company car besides fuel costs too much, not the most comfortably car to be in for long distances and attracts too much attention.

Pfft. I'm 200 k's north of centy coast on a getaway with my skyline. No one has said shit and it drives shweeeeeet

I daily drive my gtst to and from work all week, and then go out of my way to drive it for leisure on the weekends too. Its age makes it a bit more finicky and cantankerous than the Toyota Prius next to me at the lights, but I'm much happier in my car than I would be in that.

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

      Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.
