Hi guys, I've just bought my first Skyline last week :) and I don't regret making this decision at all.

I've been waiting for this day for 5 years. She's an R32 GTR immaculate inside out.

As expected I do get a lot of attention on the road especially from the falcodores, but I think I like

this car too much to let her drag with those boys on the street, possibly hurting some one else

getting fines and say goodbye to my license.

Here are some pics ! :D

Yep I pick her up from Japcar. Dennis was an awesome guy. Not trying to rip me off like a couple of places I've been to before.

Not regret this buy at all just my misses whinge about twin plates clutch and my driving. Hope to attend the cruises in the future.

Just want to make sure that I can drive twin plate properly before I attend the cruise :D

I was eyeing this one out for ages along with a clean silver one they had...

ended up going local (qld)....nice car though!

good to see someone here got it.

Ahhhh yes, i actually remember this one now i think!

Bought my 33GTR from there in June ;)

Yeah glad you enjoy it and you should!

What twin plate you got?

I had a HKS twin plate when I 1st got my R32.

A bitch to drive as it's is either "In" or "Out" and not much play at all but you get use to it and perfect for high RPM Launches.

Thanks for the comments guys ! Now all I need is a set of Work Meister 18"

Yeah for sure!

What wheels are they atm?

Any mods?

I don't know what twin plates it is at the moment. Perhaps I might use one of the hoists and tools at school to pull it apart and see but

I don't see that happeneing sometimes soon. It has a bit of playing distance before in or out. The rims is not sure as well. They are some

factory Nissan similar to the 350Z one but I don't think it is :O They are 17".

Is there anyway in Melbourne I can check out some 2nd hand Japanese rims? I don't think I can afford brand new one yet :( and

still gotta pay for my insuarance so not much $$$ left

Yeah leave the twin plate and don't bother pulling it apart.

For 2nd hand wheels speak to Aaron from Import Monster, he has a lot of wheels for sale.

He is also a Member / Trader on SAU.

I might drop by at Import Monster this week to see what he's got.

I live quite close to Ringwood.

Aaron has moved to Bayswater.

    • 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.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
