thought i'd start a spotted thread as i see a few old skylines here on the gold coast,

just saw a MR30, midnight purple with spec through out, crome 17" simmons rims, RB engine of some sort, custome purple plates and a RZ motorsport sticker across the side. looked tops....

post up details of cars you may have seen in your area...

that was in HPI mag last year sometime... i didnt read it though

wass it the one in this pic?

AHH30 was the plate i think? QLD too....

i love this one (NZ though)

thats the one, looks better in the light, so far all the r30's i've seen in HPI i've seen on the streets of the Gold Coast expect Bens White DR30. Mind you one was upside down in the middle of the road completly written off :glare:

that other one pictured looks very nice, great colour too.

tho other one is on trademe.nz

he only wants $3000(NZD) for it too! its an $8000(NZD) paint job...

notice how there isnt any bump strips along the doors etc!

Hi guys, at work today one of my customers came in this old timer HR30 import, ok he says he cant register it in NSW, it has no compliance plates just a manufacture plate.. I spun out when i saw it, It looked like it had a L20 turbo in it. He bought it from perth in the mid 80's for $7000, and drove it back here. He uses it as a workhorse & it shows. He says that everywhere he goes people ask if he wants to sell it.... Also he reckons that its " 1 of only ten brought to Oz" but i wouldnt have a clue, does anyone have an idea?

wowzers!

daily driver for sure!

some origional extras too!

I'd say its an 82 or 83 (the thin back bumpers have the black strip in them)

could be a massive job getting it back to standard condition

very interesting though!

One of Ten thousand maybe!

Not really, but there were heaps of 4 door HR30's in Oz, similarly KHR30's, although as they get older, less want to keep them on the road so current numbers are fairly small.

It's the Limited Edition's and DR30's that are more rare, although Powerplay Imports were still bringing in DR sedans up until mid last year.

As for the Passage GT on another thread, I have pics & specs in a JDM sales brochure that I will post when I get time.

Cheers

KHR30's,

KHR30, thats a new one to me what does the K stand for? so many variations on the R30's its hard to keep up :laughing-smiley-014:

That is my old car (I put the IOF 003 plates on it). Zeb has been trying to sell that machine for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately it looks a little worse than when I sold it. I note a lot of those photos were taken in 2004 when I sold it to him. Still it was rust free and reliable.

    • 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.
