when i bought my 31 sillhouette we asked the dude if the LSD worked, he promptly ripped a nice burnout and that was enough for me.

that reminds me, mark, I still have one lone sillo alloy sitting around if ya want it?

I second a 89-92 corolla, was my first car absolute gem for reliability, cheap its comfortable and nobody will even know your there :P

Get a later model one with 5sp twin cam 1.8 if you need a bit of go

hey guys. thanks for all the replys!

gone for half the day and get 2 pages of hits. Woot :P

Yeah im only looking at 1500 bucks tops, and i'd rather get a smaller car rather than a bigger car (falcon or another skyline).

Basically a car where you could piss in the tank and it would run, and not have to spend much on.

Was and am still keen on the 'Rolla as well as a Barina/Excel/Charade or whatever just want to hear peoples experiences and if there was a car to stay away from so i dont end up getting stuck with something thats costing more money to fix/run than what its worth...

Ive got a 84 Corona paid 100 bucks for it of a relative its done 360,000 kms and still going strong plus so cheap on fuel and to maintain, Best $100 ever spent. It goes everywhere.

Now thats what im talking about! Hopefully i can pick something up like that!

I would not buy a hyundai personally, under any circumstanced even if it was the bargain of the century... Some of their new cars however are really comming up in quality/style.. i was quite impressed with the new sante fe at the motor show, but for your purposes, $1500 I wouldnt touch em

I have a 1994 AE92R Corolla Seca since my Skyline got killed. Bought it

for 4 grand, came with CD player and splits. Since then I've spent $600 on new king springs and monroe shocks (I gettems cheep) and thats it!!

$40 a week on fuel for 450-500ks of thrashing, more kays on the highway. Handles good now too!

On a side note, I have SO much more money now I dont have a Skyline :P

my dad bought a camira for $300, was auto ("ohh luxury" i hear you say....) didnt leak oil, never had a problem with it. that was his second one, first one was exactly the same, vener had problems, were both surprisingly reliable, didnt even leak oil :ninja:

what you mean.. you have r33 skyline??? are they expnesive to run are they?

For me yes. As i dont have a job i can't afford to drive it around. And as i dont have a job i can't afford to get it insured, therefore I'd be f**ked if i have an accident. Hence the need for a cheap shitty little car. If i crash, well at least i wont lose $15k + and it'll be alot cheaper to run a smaller car.

Looking at a Ford Laser or a Toyota AE82 today. yee ha!

I have a 1979 Ford laser KA hatch back. Bought it for $400.

Officialy the best money i ever spent!!! I have had it for 3 years, IT HAS BEEN SERVICED 3 TIMES IN THREE YEARS! and by myself mind you, but the thing loves it and keeps on going! i have only had to change the alternator, went to a wreckers and got one cheap from there. its poo yellow, its old, its got rust on it but i would be screwed without it, stuffed if im going to leave my skyline out the front of a mates house when drinking for the night!!!

GO THE LASER!!

    • 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.
