Hi guys,

I'm at the stage where I'm in a position where I have to sell my car due to financial reasons.

I'm asking for $16,000 - do you think that is reasonable for my R33 GtsT?

So here are some details

1996 R33 S2 GTS-T

98,000+ km

Tein coilovers

18" Work emotion wheels

Turbo back exhaust

Splitfire coilpacks

Pictures are here on members rides (scroll down abit)

If its still as clean and in good condition as in the pictures you posted I think its a good price to be asking with such low Km and modifications, thats what I paid for mine a couple of months ago.

If you need or want to get rid of the Work CR Kai's before you sell the car PM me and I'll probably buy them depending on condition.

There is someone here in Canberra who travels to Autostyle in Sydney to do their engineering... AutoStyle said they would let me get it done for what it costs them (it was a car I was looking at in their shop) and I thought they said about $500/$550. They would normally put mark-up on that if it wasn't one of their cars.

They didn't give me a name of the guy down here, but if someone knows who he is, it might be worth a try. You could always call them and ask who they use for engineering.

My brother had to get an engineer cirt for his coilovers just recently. Ray at Canberra Motorworks did it, I think it cost him around $350. I'm pretty sure the price varies depending on your mods and how much work the engineer has to do. I might be wrong though.

cool thanks guys! I'm only asking because my old man wants to get a ute, but I want him to get one of these bad boys!

I can only assume that these aren't straight off the showroom floor, so they would have to be engineered to be 20ft off the ground.

I dont want him to if it causes him all the grief of DICKSon.

I contacted the seller of the above testosterone filled hilux and asked whether or not it came with an engineer's certificate.

The reply was:

No she doesn't have an engineers certificate. You just need to take her to

an NRMA and they will certify her for the modifications.

Ta

The car is currently in NSW, so I will have to have it inspected before putting it in my name - right?

..now I don't know how to take that. Does that mean that a certificate isn't required, but NRMA will provide something that I can show for the inspection? Or regardless of what NRMA can certify, anything modified will need an engineer's certificate?

Hmm.. pondering. Any assistance will be awesomeness.

Haha yea finally finished uni for the year neway.

I would buy if off you, if only someone would buy myne for 16 grand lol

Sucks your selling. Hilux aye? I so wanted to buy a reasonably new hilux and raise it with massive wheels.

    • 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.
