Alright guys, iv had my R34 GTT for almost a year now, and its struck me, that i may be wasting my time spending so much money on it. Now dont get me wrong, i love it to bits but i want more......

Now iv been looking at 3 choices they all have there merits (and hefty price tags =P) but im struggling to pick......

im looking at the R34GTR, and ford F6 typhoon or a S15 GT R-spec. sooo uuuh yeah flame away i guess guys, any opinions or information will be muchhhhly apretiated =D

Well, if i had the money i would get an r34 gtr. I quite like the f6 typhoon aswell, the newer ones especially. Not to mention they are really quick and fairly easy to mod.

I wouldnt go near the s15 though.

But thats just me

My brother-in-law has recently bought the Ford F6E. Whilst it's a nice car with mod cons eg roof, tow bar, leather yaddayadda, he knows he didn't buy it as a pure bred high potency super sports car. We take our cars down the south coast through Macquarie Pass and it just can't stick to the tarmac like the GT-R. If the rear steps out through a twisty, you just can't predict how soon you can get it back whilst you still try to keep the power on. It's a very tidy sports tourer. If that's what you want and tow something in the bargain, get the Ford.

I bought the GT-R with the dynamics of a super sports car already built in with its chassis, brakes, power to 4 wheels, cornering, damping, suspension. It also has had its potential of upgrading semi-aroused.

One more thing, I have lost virtually nothing in depreciation since I bought mine 3 yrs ago. :whistling:

Poor Craig has lost approx 15-18 grand. :thumbsup:

One of my friends recently got rid of his new typhoon. Said it was nice and quick (he's a ford nut and never owned anything else) but it had constant gearbox problems (manual). He got sick of taking it back and after the 10th or so time he told them to keep it and traded it for the V8 version. Not as fast but hasn't had any problems with it. I'd go the R34 GTR.

GTR will be twice more expensive than a GTT. So watch out.

S15 are cheap to run and fuel... Im considering an s15 myself.

aaaah ok, yeah i have a mate with one. cheeply made though =( hmmmm WELL i might go the gtr, i already drive a 34 gtt and have put in 15 grand in the space of a year. it feels like a waste. not to mention ITS A GTR =D ty guys =)

    • 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.
    • 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.
