TheOrteganator Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I DD my 260z everywhere here in the bay area....just enjoyed a nice drive on Skyline today, wish for you hybridz people to get to drive this spectacular road if your here. These cars are extremely reliable if maintained, almost 200k and runs like a champ! Send me a PM sometime and let's cruise.. I live in Belmont. I used to DD my 240z but hated it. I came from a Z32 (which got hit and totaled by an unlicensed driver) to my S30 and just couldn't stand the lack of modern comforts and driveability. Fun weekend car but not the DD for me. I hated it so much that I've now resorted to bringing my 1991 Ford Escort GT back to DD duty until I get my SUV tow vehicle/DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strotter Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm not seeing a lot of "hybird" dd's here. Lots of modified 6's, plenty of turbos, but not a lot of v8's. My 350/T-56 '72 sees almost weekly duty, and is the full time dd when my little Civic needs some love. With the addition of a Vintage Air a/c, it has become a wonderful driver's car. Not very impressive mileage (around 20 mixed city/country), but it manages to raise the spirits, blood pressure, and testosterone level nicely. Coilovers, a little higher ride height, and some softer springs will soon improve her personality - maybe I'll be able to get my girl into it once in a while.

240zdan Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I daily drive mine, its the reason I built it. Id hate to drive anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc Luvin Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I daily drive my Z - do about 200km a week. Since i tweeked the suspension and got new wheels its been much more fun to drive. No issues apart from fumes and bad gas mileage. Looking at buying a DD soon but it will probably be a Datsun 1200 or 240K - what can i say im a sucker for punishment.

Z-Madman Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I love my DD but im still in the process of swapping the tranny cause im rolling with a 3-speed auto which aint much fun lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerocell5688 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 My Z Has been DD by me and before me my dad for almost 5 years in the 7 we've had it. She's given us alternator issues, brake issues, charging problems, you name it but everything on her is solid as a rock. The Speedo reads ~88k i don't know if thats hundred thousand or less but she runs as good if not better than my 03 Zx2. She's Got a hwy crusing speed of 90mph @4k rpm, and i put between 100-120 miles on her a day (5-days outta the week) Besides beatin all my little supra friends senseless! I've been on this latest routine sense January and i've only been broke down 3 times MAYBE, one when i needed tires, one for the u-joints, one time for wiring issue, but otherwise she's more reliable than my dad's 2000 Dodge Neon, more power than my 87 Z31 and as good mileage as my Zx2, how can you beat that? Sure she needs a lil TLC now and than, sure she like all Z's are homicidal crazy bitch cars but God i love ma lil Lady and i'd take her over my Zx2 any day! Its gonna be hell when i end up rebuilding the engz and tranz (WHAT WILL I DO!!!) But it'll be so worth it! Very few cars i know of can possess the type of Character, power, sex appeal, and fenesse all in one package. Maybe i've already burned up the receptors in my brain but i don't smell gas at all in my Z when i drive it. Got the Exhaust welded up good new wires and coil and a tune up and bye bye Gas Fumes! Now i just need a Shift boot so i don't have to see the road from INSIDE my car lol ~J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepV Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 My 78 turbo swap is on the road every day of the week with the a/c pumping out ice cold air and the blow off valve adding notes to the turbo music. Hopefully soon i'll be able to sell off all my turbo stuff and get myself an lsx motor to put in the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I had forgotten about this thread. I recently started a DD group on Flickr, we need some s30's up there! http://www.flickr.com/groups/drivendaily/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I blew an intercooler piping coupler off for the first time yesterday... my first boost leak! The S30 is back to DD status, my roommate is borrowing my Z31 as his MKIII is getting a 2JZ-GTE [single] transplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 A few months ago my vacuum hose to the wastegate blew off and I then proceeded to hit 16psi on an all stock piping setup... woops. Everything actually held together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I DD my 260z everywhere here in the bay area....just enjoyed a nice drive on Skyline today, wish for you hybridz people to get to drive this spectacular road if your here. These cars are extremely reliable if maintained, almost 200k and runs like a champ! I love HWY 35! That's where I'd go on every drive when my Z was on the road, with my buddy on his GSXR 750. We'd go 280>Black Mtn Rd.>35>92>35 into the mountains>84>Canada>280. We did a bunch of variations but they always involve 35. Love that Road. I'll be doing runs there and to Mt. Hamilton and Mines Road when the resto is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
