I’ve been daily driving my 33gtst for a year and a half and I love it. Super reliable! And I drive everywhere. I’m in construction and I do take it to job sites
That’s awesome! I drive mine or my R35 daily. They’re as reliable as you make them. lol I tell everyone. Keep it around 400hp keep the oil changed and you’ll be able to drive it forever.
Why yes, yes you can daily a GT-R! I've been daily driving mine for the last 3 years with very little issues! These are great cars when taken care of!!
@therivalgarage also I'm late to the party but we meet st the 405 event where you had the car on display, and it is such a stunning build, definitely sorry that you're going through this horrible journey. I've worked at and with many shops over the years, and it is sad the lack of focus and holding true to word that a lot of shops do.
Awesome! Even here in Australia they’re hard to daily at times and we’re a RHD market! 34s definitely have the most wow factor out of all of them but I love my tubby 33! It’s very different to the 32 and 34 because it’s rounded versus those two being more squared off designs. Like you I’m tall as shit (6’8”) and the 33 is VERY accommodating for us big freaks! Look forward to you doing a build on the car!
I don't think its a good daily as the only car, I mainly take out the 33 to drive around or run a quick errand. I appreciate the car more not driving it every day and its more difficult when stuff does break like you said. I had the tach issue on mine recently and I couldn't manage to get it working right doing the fix myself. I ended up sending it off to relentless motorsports to fix, but it was pricey. The skyline shed in aus actually has used clusters you can get already repaired if you ever have to get one. It also depends on the suspension and exhaust setup for how good of a daily the car is. Mine came with a relatively quiet fujitsubo exhaust so theres no drone ever with the car which is nice.
Highly recommend the Nismo Twin Coppermix clutch. It feels very oem but obviously can handle alot more. Dont get the comp version as its not meant for the street
Can daily anything if you have money to pay for it. My 33 is down w a blown head gasket and no one that will work on the head. And I’m in central Florida which has arguably the most jdM shops per square mile than any other state including California. 😊
Its the opposite for me.... My 33 gets all the love when driving it, 32, nothing ever ... ZILTCH , R34 Sometimes some love and some necks turn, But the 33 gets the most average ppl getting excited. I think its the colors tho, our cars are opposite colors basically
@therivalgarage I think part of it comes from when the R32 came out. It dominated the racing circuit. When the R34 came out it was during the dawn of the Gran Turismo Era. When the R33 came out it didn't have much of a racing legacy behind it, R33 came out the same time as the McLaren F1 and the F1's were just dominating everyone else.
