it is the same one then... ;) i was going to get it, then decided to hold off... reckon theyre an awesome looking cruiser and yeah 5litres sound tough as... my VL sedan isnt quick... but it sounds it ;)

My first love was a LH 77 Torana-cld have driven that car into the ground. Kissed by a truck (I wasn't in it) R.I.P

The second car (not so loved) was a TX3 Laser-sh*t box-I practically re-built that thing, gear box, drive shift, clutch & re built engine.

The third was my first turbo-1994 180SX-Kissed by a 4WD (I was in this one) R.I.P

Vintage Corolla-1980 something auto bomb (driving it for a year was demoralizing, but paying off my 60RR six yrs early-well worth it).

And now the sweetest yet-1998 R34 GTT-Mmmm I love it. And I think I'm done with all the truck's & 4WD's now so I plan on keepin this one for a while. ;)

Had a fair few in my 2 or so years of driving.

I get bored easily..and always want something new.

Toyota AE86 20v Sprinter.

Nissan R33 gtst (black)

Mitsubishi JDM Galant VR4 turbo.

Nissan R34 Gt-t

Nissan R33 gtst (candy red widebody)-(Candy Magenta Full GTR spec body)

Nissan R32 Gtr

Sold the first 3 cars in about a month or two of each other.

Had the r34 gtt for about 2 weeks then went about building a r33 showcar

Which i still own along with the GTR R32.

But soon to get a r34 gtr or evo 8 or sumthing.

First car: HQ Holden, 202 traumatic

Next: VN V6 auto, VR clubby rims, exhaust, was a good car actually had it for most of my P's

Then: VN V8 BT1. Yellow xchaser, sprayed Devil Yellow, 18" rims, rebuilt 5litre with mild cam and heads, about 200rwkw. Got into the whole modding thing, changed everything on that car

And now: of course an R33 GT-R VSpec....

First car: R31 skyline wagon

Second: R32 skyline GTSt

No chance in hell my next car will be a R33 though, I think I'll skip a generation and go C34 Stagea.

Oh look who decides to show his face. Are you still a member?

My first car was a 93 GTS non turbz, which i then foolishly stuck a 20 det in.

I recently sold that, i am now getting around in the white whale from japan. A lexus sc400.

It has a lot of goodies in it. I have put a dvd player that plays through the FACTORY touch screen TV.

a kick ass 7 speaker stero, leather, adjustable pneumatic suspension, 17" alloy's.

All of that for $6000.

Next year i'll get another car for race use only. I have to save some coin before that happens though.

I must be the only dickhead around who had a shit first car...

You can't tell from the pic, but it was a 1979 Honda Prelude Gen 1! It was SEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!

pearl paint job, 15 inch rims, morotised head unit... rust everywhere the eye could see... I flexed the boot with the subs too... ended up at the tip I believe :P

My first car was an immaculate 79 VB Commodore - Which, get this, I sold for $3500 with no rego or roadworthy 3 years ago hehehe!

gallery_2471_146_369291.jpg

3500! omg... wonder if anyone would pay anything like that for my grandfathers HQ... he bought it new when he worked at the holden factory and it only has about 20000kms on it... still has the original tyres and the plastic on the seats from the factory haha he only ever takes it out like once a month to keep the engine running.

if only he decided to do that with a decent model.

No, I too had a shit first car......

Over the last 20 years, I have owned this motley collection of vehicles....

1970 something Honda Civic 1.2 two-speed Honda Matic (FWD) What were Honda thinking when they created this transmission... I did not pay for this car....

Mk4 Cortina 1.6 (RWD) or this one....

1976 Mk2 Capri 1.6 (RWD) GBP 220

1980 Mk3 Capri 2.0 (RWD) GBP 450, sold it 3 years later for GBP 250

1985 SDi Rover V8 Manual!!! (RWD didn't need a turbo....) GBP 450

1987 Citroen BX DTR Turbo Diesel (FWD) First diesel "Hot hatch"... GBP 3,000, first proper car after starting work.. Was driving 800 miles a week. Decided a V8 in the UK was not economical for that....

1988 BX GTi 16 Valve (FWD nor did this one....) very, very quick car.... GBP 1,700 First car with ABS..

1990 Alfa 164 Twin Spark (FWD) GBP 4,500. Broke my heart this one, but saved my life in potentially a very serious accident..

1993 Citroen Xantia 2.0 16V VSX (FWD) same engine as a Peugeot 306 S16 GBP 3,000

1990 BX GTi (FWD) cost me GBP 300 had ABS, and power everything... Sold the drivers mirror for GBP 55 and gave them the rest of the car for free....

1985 Citroen CX GTi Turbo 2 (FWD turbo) Turbo installations have come a long way in the last 20 years...... Choice was buy for GBP 400 or rent for GBP 200... Rented and used for my last 4 months in the UK... Was one of the service hack's at my pet Citroen mechanics.. I had been a loyal customer...

Moved to OZ

1996 Nissan Maxima 30S Touring (FWD) AUD 20,000, most expensive car to date and first with airbag... Ran for 160,000 fault free kays in 7 years...

1995 Nissan Micra 1.3 LX (FWD), for the wife..... AUD 6,000 and sold for AUD 2,000 5 years later. A whole heap more fun and safer than the Korean equivalent of it's time...

1996 Nissan R33 Skyline GTS-25t 4-dr (RWD and turbo!!!!!) AUD 14,000, first with dual airbags, I love this car.......

1999 SAAB 9-5 2.3t SE (FWD turbo), for the wife... AUD 13,000, and this one ain't bad either, but got a lot of money stashed away for servicing....

Next car??? Given the expected addition to the family around May time, will see how the SAAB and R33 cope, should be fine, otherwise off to find a Stagea, and maybe get a car made in this century, before the first decade ends......

    • 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.
