Hi all,

as the heading suggests, I am looking for a place to have a car inspected prior to purchase. RAA inspections just don't cut it, so I went to Boostworx as I have read many good things about them. Boostworx will do a full safety inspection of the vehicle as well as compression test, but the problem is they can't inspect the vehicle for another 2 weeks!!

So does any have any other recommendations for having it inspected in the adelaide area? The car is located in the Eastern hills, so anywhere eastern suburbs or inner south would be good.

Yeah, sorry I had a quick look in there, but are they any good in relation to inspection? I know people have had work done there, just after some more opinions. cheers

Were you the guy looking for a 33 and you came into Boostworx one late arvo after work, about a week or so ago? think you were driving a pulsar???

I'd personally get Hi Tech or GW to do a check, either way they will be able to do the same check anyways! They will check it all out but obviously you will have the final say on the purchase as they cant give you a "yeh mate buy it....... it won't blow up!!"

GL with the search, and just remember to put some time into it and not buy the first one you like! besides there is alot of 33's out there for sale ATM!

Hey Delux,

Yeah that was me. I was in my wifes pulsar as she was driving my SP23 that day. I realise there are a lot of cars for sale out there, and I have been looking at the market for some time. After inspecting quite a few cars on the weekend, I have come accross a car which stood well above the others for condition of both body and interior, and that is why Im keen to move on it now. Thanks for the tips, will see how I go.

Cheers

Graham West have been relatively good to me in the past. I now use someone private but i have had a fair bit of work done there (and with the lemon i bought i mean a fair bit) they know what they're talking about only problem is that they do cost a bit p/h which builds up over a day.

if you're desperate, ask one or two of our SAU members to help you inspect

i'm sure they'd be delighted to help out a fellow member...maybe with a beer or two afterwards

imo

Im sure someone here would be comfortable to say yer its a nice car with no hard feelings if something happens shorlty after :)

Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with 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.
