I bet if I'm buying these, he'll lowball me by swapping his taxi for it [emoji14]

I barely drive on the weekends as it is, and if I do it's to the track anyway(towbar) or to coles, fuel economy negated by having to pay rego, insurance, maintenance on a 2nd car.

I wouldn't want to spend 6-10 hours during the week driving a shittier daily to only have much less time in a nice weekender.

Auto daily and manual weekender would be nice though. 

Rego maintenance negated by new car depreciation of 5k a year?

How enjoyed is the daily drive though? I think it ruins the weekend car - get in for a cruise and feel like you're driving to work lol

Mind you I'm currently doing what you're doing, sans buying a new car, I just believe the other way to be superior if you got the space for it

Not negated if I'm buying a new car anyway as a weekender 

Agree it makes the car feel less special, space isn't an issue if you have a shitty daily just put it outside, I guess your issue is your two cars are both too nice for that

The 33 won't work for everyone but in my current circumstance, it's perfect. I have an m35 stagea which is as comfy as driving a sofa as a back up car/workhorse but would rather daily the 33. Why have a fast car and drive a slow car everyday. It's just not something I can do. I've never driven anything slower than a 14 sec car and I'm not about to start now. Yes, there are newer tech cars out there that can do the job but then you've got to factor in depreciation, costs to make them faster and most of them don't make you feel like your really driving.

If I was you birds, I'd keep dailying the GTST and track it if you feel the need and have gtr as weekend duties mobile.

I know what you mean. Any daily for me would have to be able to get to 100 in less than 7 seconds, or have some turbo diesel punch to 70-80km/h.

Pretty much the plan. Though I suspect a bottom end bearing is waking itself up slowly, so the GTS-T may go into the workshop for preventative maintenance when the GTR is out. Will solve my storage problems short term...

So Adam, is the R ready?

Yeah they both mean a lot to me and are unfortunately very stealable  

GTS-T has already had two attempts made on it

[Count Grantleyish]

I'm sure. 

[emts]

Didn't you buy a built bottom end that he just needed to assemble and tune??

how many years is this build at now?
