02 sti model, get an ecu edit an an exhuast an wind up the boost, 2lt forged engy with a 6sp gb and awd not bad

to bad they are way overpriced in aus, wrx;s i mena

well any vehicle in aus is way bloody overpriced.... I really need someone to explain the whole reason why we have import tarifs etc?

  • 4 weeks later...

get the 32 dude, its rwd, your gonna have heaps more fun it in compared to the awd rex. plus your gonna have cash to mod the beast

oh and forget the 33's - they look like whales >_<

Forget about how much you love skylines for a second. To make it quick what should i get 98 WRX or a 93 R32 GTS-T. The only major reason i can think that the WRX is better is its a bit newer but all in all what are the pro's and con's of the cars?

Depends what you want to do with it and more importantly how it's been looked after for both.

Chances are most of what you will look at will be crap because both cars are typically driven hard.

If you could find a perfect stock example of each, for the same money, a WRX is probably a better buy

for both street and track.

Our last (98) WRX with unichip, exhaust, k&n panel, track pads and semis was good for 1.09.09 around Wakefield.

I did 250k kms in it (had it from new) with the last 210k being on 17psi boost (124awkw @ CRD) with regular track time.

Replaced one clutch @ 120k and one wheel bearing @ about 170k or so. They don't eat gearboxes if you don't wind

the wick up too much; nor do they eat clutches if you don't spend all your time launching them. They are a fun car

and the stock suspension on a 98 WRX will be in much better than stock '93 suspension.

a friend of mine drives a my99 wrx but is very conservative when it comes to launching due to the gearbox going a number of times. they're also not as fast as a rear wheel drive car on rolling runs, and can have some understeer issues. apart from that they're fairly well built cars

lol, car in aussie is very very CHEAP if you compare it to vehicle's price in malay,indonesia or singapore..

for instance if you buy camry in indonesia, with that money you can buy e class or 5 series here..that explains why so many asian student got nice cars, coz it's cheap!!

WRX arent very fast stock... and yes they're gearboxes are notorius for dying

Go a 32 and mod it with the extra $$$

********************************************

32's arent very fast stock either, thier gearbox's arent much stronger, a bit of extra power and they snap like twigs.... sounds very familiar eh...

talk price range, if your comparing 20k, compare that with other 20k cars atleast.

cars are cheap in aus ? really, i was under the impression cars here cost a fortune compared to many other places in the world. south east asian countries not with standing I would suspect we are over proced.... thats the point of tarifs isnt 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.
