Um, stagea is only 1680kg's, and not over 1700kgs as previously stated.

I used to own a stagea, and I have spent a bit of time in Mitch's as both passenger and driver. Now *dons flamesuit* I have to say that I would prefer the leggy myself. The thing is, the stagea is NOT a sports car and never will be - its a luxo barge. The leggy FEELS much lighter when you are driving it, it has a bucket load more kick from a standing start and the triptronic is light years ahead of the stagea IMO. I also dont believe that you can point at them and say they have crap gearboxes. I think, also as previously stated, that it is more of a maintenance issue than a reliability issue, but no matter what car it is, ALL imports share the same risks in this area.

A S2 ("facelift" model) S type would be my pick - but def try and get the hi-vis dash at a minimum. They are teh shizz.

RS4 is kinda in a slightly different price range.. lol..

the other car that wagon lovers might want to consider..

Caldina

here's a few someone prepared earlier

Too Bad you cant get the new shape for that price

190kw standard.

lighter than the others in this thread.

toyota over engineering.

gen 3 3SGTE motor

yeh not a big fan of the caldina either...the shape doesn't look right...reminds me of a extended toyota starlet...the newer one is o.k but then i think i would want a m35 instead.

see also carmen imports here in brissy. he has two of them that the ENTIRE MMCS system works :P ( I know this because I did them.)

kristian,

you speak my language.

NM35->EC5W- WGNC34 ->ST246

Thats feral

M35 > EC5W > WGNC34 > ST215W

my lineup is a bit different...

EC5W > WGNC34 Series 1 > M35 > WGNC34 Series 2 > ST215W

the S1 stag's can look awesome with a good set of rims and lowered.. the S2's are just ugly all the time. :)

The more i see the more i like of these things haha.

Jake get a VR4 :)

lolz man i'm considering if i sell the r32...if not a legnum i will buy a galant...i like the practicality of it. heaps of space, power and rare. maybe if i can find a good priced manual i might get one.

    • 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.
