Hehe series 1.5 reprazent

I also agree that buying a car with little to no mods is best. Also if you're buying off a member of a forum see what kind of things they are posting, for example if it's stuff like "drifting my 33 at the track this weekend!" freaken avoid it!!

but remember that a modded one 'normally' shows that it's been well looked after and serviced regularly. not always the case if you buy a stocker from someone who didn't realise oil needed topping up :)

But yea, agreed.

heavily used track/drift weapons are probably a good thing to not buy! plus if you buy a stocker you can keep all your stock parts so you can swap everything back when you get your visits to regency :P

Try and find one thats already got a Exhaust, Pod filter, Front mount and possibly a Power FC! If you find one with those mods then you will save a solid 3-4k on doing those basic mods yourself! Spewing i was gonna be looking at off loading mine soon, BUT things have changed and looks like she's staying with me! Was gonna be asking for less than 18k also!!!

with 18k you good get something decent from a dealer who dont specialize in imports / skylines etc. IE, redling, synergy. Go to a Dealer with one or 2 lines that they may have bought off an importing company, their prices will start from around 19kish, i got mine down to 15k, so worth a shot!

  • 2 weeks later...

take someone with u who knows skylines or who knows how to tell if the car is genuine ie do the engine and chassis numbers match, accident damage, has it been resprayed, wats it hiding?? has it been put together (welded) with two halfcuts ? just be real careful and ask all the questions I ended up buying mine from sydney cause all I found in adelaide waz dodgey......as they say buyer beware

oh yeah I forgot to mention that there are heaps of R33's round at moment particularly in sydney which therefore flows on to adelaide...as there now getting older in japan , heaps more have hit aust than ever b4...so you can bargain harder and shop around if a dealer tells u there "hard to get" thats bs ...theres way more around now than when i bought mine in december

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
