Hope you can afford the fuel and parts costs, servicing etc, but if you can, go for it.

Beautiful first car.

Leave the poor bugga alone. At his age I was workin 3 jobs to save the ready to buy a 350 ht gts monaro.

I did buy it too and then went on to modify it in to a darn fast street car for its day. I had everybody throwing the same brickbats at me for wanting such an outrageous ride as well but f**kem. My money, my dream and I lived it.

How many of you can see a little of yourselves in this young tiger, I for sure as hell can. Go for it kid. Just remember its other peoples well being you hold in your hands when you drive on the roads as well as your own.

In a few short years you will probably be married and raising a family with nowhere neer the surplus funds to play with so enjoy it now then come back later when the kids are gone. Thats excactly what i am in the process of doing and I'll be danged if i dont feel like that kid again as I move closer to putting my ass in to a gtt skyline. :P

Buy the car but respect the car not because its a skyline or whatever... because its new to u and if u have the money, go for a defensive driving course and stuff like that to improve ur driving skills...please respect the other road users and do not do stupid things on the road...remember that ur putting other ppls life at risk if u drive like twat on the road....I am 18 myself and my first car is a turbocharged car..I don't see why some ppl like to comment on what type of car other ppl are gonna buy...its not ur money and as long as the owner is happy with what he/she is gonna get that is the most important thing...

just remember to follow the rules :P always be sensible when driving ur car and keep ur cool..always think twice about the results that your gonna cause because of ur actions! Remember that u could not turn back time just like how history will always be remembered. Good luck in purchasing ur car :)

ahhhh memories.. i had the same problem when i was younger.

maybe just get yourself a nice standard commodore till you become alot more experienced - then when your old enough, and insurance drops - go all out and get yourself a gtr!

i still suggest NOT to get a turbo car for your FIRST car. maybe try looking for a non turbo r33?

    • 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.
