A few months ago i posted my thoughts on buying a NA skyline due to P Plate Laws.

Many people went against this decision saying it takes the fun out of owning a skyline.

well i love it, its still the fastest car i have ever driven (much quicker then mums v6 magna)

and i can say to myself "i own a skyline"

mods are: tinted windows, lowered, After market rims, Exhaust tip to increase sound & nismo front spoiler.

I live in Kew in Melbourne so i will hopefully start to see you all around (im still on my L's)

NA FTW

nice to have you on board Daniel. a nice clean car you go there; loving the avs (i think) rims. they definitely suit the car.

and yes you're right, at the end of the day owning a skyline isn't about owning a "turbo", it's about enjoying a car that looks good, handles better, and goes better than the average car on the street.

use this opportunity to learn the dynamics of the car, get a feel of how it handles, learn to control a rwd vehicle and just simply have fun. having an n/a doesn't mean you're slow, it just means you have to work that much harder to gain those extra few seconds.

any questions you have about your car, i'm sure many of us would be willing to answer them. be sure to search before hand in case your question has been brought up before.

cheers

edit: and while i agree that the search for power is addictive, keep in mind there's more to driving than just outright power; most wouldn't know how to get the most out of their 400rwkw gtst anyway. suspension, braking and driver skill also come into play :blink:

Congratulations mate!

my first car was a 94 R33 GTS. Was a great car and now im upgrading to a turbo. N/As are great for fuel and insurance purposes in comparison to the turbo versions (as stated above). And if i had a turbo for my first car i am positive i would have crashed it. So (as stated above) dont let people talk to you down about it. If turbo drivers give you shit about driving an N/A tell them your replacement parts cost a shitload less then theirs.

sweet ride bro i have a mate who lives around kew so he will definatly see you going around i bought my first skyline approx 5 months ago no and it NA n i love it i have a thread in th eNA section which is still active so cheak it out, anyhow, i had problem with my engine (my own fault) n now i putting the DET in so yeaha the mod bug and the need for speed takes over pretty quick! but welcome to SAU

Hame

thanks everyone. i cant wait to start getting to know everyone during meets & cruises.

h@me - i frequently see a magnificent yellow r33 skyline that parks at the end of sackville street. if this is your mates i am Very Jealous

    • 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.
