I got my first 97 R33 GTS-T yesterday had no problems,

Today i drove to work at 6:30am didnt push the car at all changed gears at 2500rmp

Arrived at work at 6:50 let the turbo timer do its thing for about a min or so.

Went to leave work at 4:00pm all the boys came and had a look and a chat, turned it on and it was all good, then stood around chatting for about 15-20mins while it idled finishing up conversation. Didnt give it that much on the way home.

Got in my driveway and the turned off the car the turbo timer took over went to get out of the car and i forgot to put it in Neutral took my foot off the clutch and she stalled. So i left it.

Had to go out about 15 mins later and the car wont start, left it for another 15mins and still wont start. Now im getting really freaked out!!! WHats wrong!!! have i f**ked something cus i didnt let it cool down.

doubt it, usually turbo timer is only there if u shut it down hot (like if ur giving it to it for the run home) but u didnt, so i doubt that would be the issue. i dunno about damaging turbos and if they owuld stop the car starting? what happens when u try to start it? does it crank or nothing at all?

It starts to crank but just doesnt have the power to really turn it fully over? Could it possible be a flat battery?

The car has only just been imported so im presuming that since i got it, it hasnt been driven for a while? Could it be??? Just seems strange that it worked before.

It has also has been stalling easyly when the car has been just started and been running ritch and backfireing when i drive it really hard, could this have anything to do with it?

I just looked at the battery and theres no calcium build up, all electrics work and headlights work but there not as bright as if the car was on.

Theres no black soot, but they prob washed it when it was in the showroom, and then washed it before i took delivery.

I honestly couldnt tell you about the ECU...

Yeah ill check the relays

Nar i didnt leave the lights on, i drove it to work, drove home later that arvo, then it wouldnt start later that arvo when i had to go out.

Weird. But i only got the car yesterday and before that been sitting in a showroom and before that on a boat coming from Jap, and driven it a little so the battery is prob f**ked

Yeah, I left my lights on once in my 32. Didn't realize it because the timer was running so it didnt beep to let me know I'd left the lights on.

When I got back to the car and hit the alarm button, it triggered the alarm (thought the battery had been disconnected and went to backup battery). Of course, there was not enough power in it for the override switch to work, and it wailed until I got a jump-start.

You wanna see the mother battery I put in there now :P

Yeah, nothing is worse than a problem that comes and goes...

Yes there is, its called an 80s alfa.

Dude, burn the alfa as a sacrafice to the skyline. It will be all better then. You just need the alfa out of your system.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
