quickest car i ever been in was a gtir. modded ofcourse.

similar to LTHLRB - a mate also owns one, did drive it hard and blew the box. been sitting in his garage for about 6 months now, not cheap to repair....

its one of those cars.....always loved em, but would never buy one.

they are not that weak. I ran mine with 180 odd 4wkw for a fair few years and I don't think anyone could suggest i didn't drive it hard. plenty of 7000rpm launches in it! BUT no flat changes, and a bit of mechanical sympathy is important. also short shifter is not a good idea, and the type of clutch you buy has an impact too. but i wouldn't say their boxes are fragile, it's just you need to be a little smart to keep them happy. apart from that they are good. they only weigh around 1200kg, can easily put out 2004wkw with standard turbo and injectors and at that power will dust off most mildly modded skylines. they do NEED a brake upgrade though as they come with shit brakes. top little car though, and a steal at current prices.

I owned one briefly.... but mine was a lemon..... previous owner dodged the maintenance records amongst other things.....

My mate had one also .... awesome car.. but it did have $40K spent on it at Rigolis!

In stock form I'd go the gtir over anything else in the same price bracket just because SR20 powah (and build quality) and the lack of money that needs spending to get it go faster..... although can be a b!tch to work on at times according to my dad (mechanic).....

GTIR drivetrain is a heap stronger than any wrx of the same year model.... our 97 wagon (clubspec) has done two gearboxes and the next time its straight cut gears! Also to me the wrx feels like its made of plastic.... but thats just personal opinion...

Fast little car,

If you ever buy one or import one, make sure it comes with exhaust already as its can be a bitch to fabricate a proper system. As for the clutch, if you need to change, get something that worth it as you would need to lift the engine up a bit and just chuck REDLINE shock proof in it and the box will be fine, offcourse don't abuse it too much.

What can i say about SR20, they are great 4cylinders, respond to mods as good as EVO if not better, engine and parts availability is much more as well. Oh also don't forget the quad throttles respond (was it quad throttles?).

Better interior than R32gtr :P, semi bucket seats, CUP HOLDERS ;).........

    • 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.
