Not so on the Rennteam Forum......Guys there form Germany quoted to me different figures and their was not as much difference

as your quote......I suppose it would lie in what was on the floor and they where trying to get rid off versus ordering and Porsche

options are very pricey......as suggested above the ZR1 can see a 20% discount of it's Sticker in the US.....

But hey this is their argument over in Germany......."not much more then the R35".....

Godcla, the 911 Turbo has a rrp in Germany of Euro $143,008 exactly. What the 'buy' price is , I can't say, but I assure 110% THAT is the rrp for a 911 Turbo in Germany. If anyone says otherwise they don't know what they are on about and are full of shit.

In Germany a GT-R costs EURO $81,800 for the base model, EURO $83,500 for the Premium Edition and EURO $85,200 for the Black Edition. Which ever way you slice it there is a HUGE premium for the 911 Turbo (a car I dearly love) ..and in Germany Ze Krazy Option prices apply too!!!!

Yea....I believe you....but the Germans on Rennteam Forum will not ..........I don't care as I don't plan to move over there.

PS: More then likely the figure is somewhere between the RRP and what they are saying the difference is between GTR und der wunderbar Porsche......

..If that's the case then I find that absolutely gobsmacking! These prices are obtained directly from BOTH manufacturers (and I mean directly not from a website :D )

As a Porsche afficianado, these guys sound like an embarassment to me (same as the one eyed falcadore yobs) if they don't know the list price of a 911 Turbo in it's home country, it makes me wonder if they really know their shit at all!

Birds, hate to break it to you but that Commodore coupe is only a concept car. The chances of it making production are fairly slim AND if it ever did I can guarantee you it would look alot more tame by the time it was production ready for the road...then after all that, it would still be a VE Commodore..which means it won't be built or engineered to anything like the standard of a GT-R or ZR-1 for that matter.

Out of curiosity what attracted you to a Nissan Skyline? or a Nissan fullstop? I get the feeling you are a Chev/Holden man at heart! I'm actually suprised you don't drive a 5.7l V8 Commodore SS or VT Monaro, there are plenty out there at low prices....

I am ashamed to own one after visiting their site......their latest ..."we all know that the GTR is not very fast in a straight line...."

Abusive one eyed Porsche Nazis that have never driven an R35 and have more to say about the Car then R35 Owners.....

PS: Now selling my CS ......Now understand why I mainly get dirty looks when driving it.

Well aware son, I did enlist the promo girls presenting the thing :P

Doesn't detract from my feelings of wanting one, which is all I said. Afterall, we are allowed to want things we can't or will never have.

It might come as a surprise to you but I'm not as biased as you might think. I am indeed a Holden/Chev man at heart, but I try my best not to involve emotion in an argument/discussion and I don't think that is the reason for my ranting about the ZR1 (though love for a particular brand will expose you to alot of information about their cars). It's a hobby of mine to play devil's advocate when the other side of a story hasn't had it's dues presented...not for trolling purposes, but to keep the truth out there and ignorance levels down. And hey, didn't we all learn a thing or two about both these cars from this thread? I'd have done the same for the R35 in a ZR1 forum (even though I do prefer the ZR1 to the R35). Fate would have it that I ended up here though. I'll stand up for a Hyundai if the argument and my logic warrants it. As for my Skyline, I wanted a reasonably quick daily driver to scoot about in until I finish my Calibra project. Always had a soft spot for the R33 when I was younger so I impulse bought it and I love it. May well own a Holden V8 one day but I've grown up with them and too much of anything gets boring.

RedEmblem...not everything is about performance...not for me anyway. Where the Coupe 60 might have lacked in performance I think its aesthetics crap all over that of the GTR/M3/C63 etc. The car is just plain sexy (my opinion) and were it an actual production car I don't think you'd find it much more premium priced than the VZ CV-8 Monaros (bar the luxury car tax). And a VE Monaro is my take on what the car is supposed to represent (amongst other things), without actually producing it...as per Holden's promise not to continue the namesake.

Nothing wrong with the old LS1.

I believe I have the best of both worlds. Mildly tweaked LS1 Wagon for a daily/family/tow car that goes pretty damn well and will win 9/10 traffic light gran prixers to 100km/h but also have the nice little raw R32 RB30DET.

They are two completely different cars. I personally much prefer driving the tweaked LS1 auto on the street. Returns an average of 13L/100 and I don't baby it. Its an easier smoother and it does launch out of the hole damn hard.

When I want the hairs on my neck to stand on end with the rear swaying slightly from side to side at 150km/h in to fourth I jump in the R32.

I am a V8 man at heart. When the RB30DET pops I'm seriously considering an VH41/45 DE T or TT.

Never said there was anything wrong with an LS1 (although those with Piston slap problems that required a rebuild may disagree) or VE, just commenting that they are not in the same footing as a bespoke Nissan R35 GT-R/Zr-1 in terms of performance or engineering. You can recall the test in 2002 Motor Magazine when a 300kW GTS HSV Coupe was put up against a new Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 N1, it got creamed, and it was a 40 degree day that disadvantaged the twin turbo Nissan.

    • 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.
