Lol what would you put them on? Probably won't clear 6 pot new STI calipers.
 
 


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 :P 

Taxi needs to sell soon, on holidays the next few weeks then ill have to start dropping price (rego due Dec) cbf renewing 
Grant you need a Taxi in your life. 


Had taxi, wouldn't recommend.

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...

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

GTS-T has already had two attempts made on it

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
