Hey,

Well my little brother will turn 16 a bit later this year so the first car hunt begins....

I was just after some advice and what kind of cars would fit his critera... Since i have bought my Skyline and we have gone to a couple runs, one from here and another mixed jap car run, he wants a jap car.

so the critera is...

Must be Non-Turbo,

Must be a Jap Car,

Must be Kinda Sporty,

Must be Nippy not Slow as,

Must be a safe and resonably reliable car,

Must be $6000 or Under.

Any ideas?

well i picked up my mx6 turbo for 3.5k! can't really complain........ but a mate of mine is selling his starlet for around 6k if he's interested! just pm me and i'll organise something!

you can probably pick up a silvia non turbo for around 6k!

what does the starlet go lik?

it's a mid 90's gt turbo starlet! 1.3 litre 4 cylinder but it goes pretty hard for a 1.3 litre turbo! it's nothing really serious but it can hit 0-100kph in 7-8 secs!

Damn sorry its got to be NON turbo

s13/180sx SR20DE. Not sure if u can get them for $6000 but i wouldnt even think about CA18DE...even a twin cam rolla is faster :P

And if u want something different, my freind selling his AE92 Levin supercharged. He also is looking AROUND $6000. PM if interested in pics/info.

got to be non turbo and not super charged

there's not much he can pick up in the sporty jap car range for 6K other than the aforementioned non turbo s13. Get him a SSS pulsar its got an sr20de in it. Goes hard for what it is. N14 92-95(i think) model if he's lucky.

My advice for a first car is to get the latest model Corolla he can get for the money.

Yeah gotta agree, "Rolla's are pretty much bomb proof, go well enough, and resales excellent.

If he wants something with a more sporty image, you'll be getting an older car but I would choose an N14 Pulsar Q or SSS (SR20DE) or an ealier Twin Cam Corolla.

And, a front driver can let him master clutch/shifting/heel-toe etc without him wanting to be sideways everywhere like most young guys. It may keep him alive longer. :P

My advise is to get him a shit box for the first car we all know what we were like when we got our Ps BURNOUTS, DRIFTING AND RUNNING A MUCK. No use wreaking a good car let him learn in a 1000 doller r31 you can pic them up in good con for that. Then the future when he wants more power dump a rb20det in it

    • 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.
