JAS-25T - you offered to swap me a car?

I remember the offer of Dunlop Volleys... and I did ask for pics.. :P

I agree about the R33.

there are a couple available for $10K ish.

actually a couple of series 2 for $12K ish.

the 3 cars here are all 2L and smaller so I figured a slightly better comparo.. you know.. kinda like apples and nashi pears rather than apples and carrots.

Medium Dave - there is no cars after wedding.. :)

I just bought the missus a brand new Tiida.

so I now get to buy what I want.

and I don't want to spend over $10K.

Nah when I was selling mine almost back a year ago. bout 10 months ago - it's was a series 1.5 too, just what you love.

couldn't get a pic of the dunlop volley's. They are just too quick!

Here are some current examples on what is on offer for this price range..

R32 - $10.5K from forum member = Fail

R32 - $9.8K = Fail

R33 gtst - $10K Just for JAS - also a forum member car = Winnar!

180sx - $9.5K = Fail

S13 - rb20 - $9.8K - but brown interior = Fail

S13 - $10.5K - with 55,000kms on new motor.. yeh right.. and pink wheels. = Fail

S13 - rebuilt SR (No receipts) looks pretty good - $9.5K = Fail

so there are some good examples out there for the money.

just need to see what fits me the best..

Quit lying to yourself and get a 33

Power to Weight ratios

Silvia: 130kw/tonne

180SX:129kw/tonne

R32:124kw/tonne

Talking about weight, there really isn't much in it, the highest to lowest is separated by 6kw. On the street you won't even feel it.

The R32 is superior. The S13 and 180 are little four-bangers suited to someone getting their first turbo car and learning how to thrash and powerslide.

Oh, btw an R33: 133kw/tonne. I agree with JAS-25T :P

how much do you wanna spend on mods AFTER the 10k?

if the answer is not much i'd go for a 32 with work already done...

my 33 owes me $30,000 on top of purchase price :O

Lets not forget there engines are still the same size as an rb20.

This is an interesting thread, I was in the same situation as this before i brought my car. I think if you cant decide between any of them just look around and when "the perfect" one comes up take that. Its better to have a perfect 180sx than a farked r32.

200 wigga watts is all that I would be after.

all those cars can so that.

the 2L would require a turbo upgrade (S15 turbo for the SR's = $400, RB25 turbo for the RB20 = $350)

a rechip for the 2L's would get close enough to this power.

RB25 would do it with usual bolt on mods and ecu/tune.

we'll see.

I'm going to take some proper pics of the Liberty this weekend and advertise it on Carsales.

Once it goes, apart from being 2 years older, I'll be able to bring this marvelous thread to a definitive end.

Good my man! Keep us posted what you end up choosing. We'll all be keen to know. Oh, and picsorban when you pick it up :no:

and If I want an RB25, I'll just get an R33.

I'm not too fussed about the 60kg extra when you get a better engine and gearbox and brakes to go with it.

amen to that...

    • 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.
