First car i bought, 2002 Kia Rio 5 door (wasn't old enough to drive till 2004 lol), massively stupid sound sytem and black lights in the cabbin were the only mods.

2nd car was R33 GTS-t, currently has the usual bolt onns, had the sound sytem in there for a while, now trying to sell the sytem because i'm over that scene. (still current car)

3rd car is a Maserati 3200gt 3.2 litre V8 twin turbo

4th car (future car) will hopefully be a 360 modena F1 wohooo

First car was a Holden WB one tonner. Was a great car.

Second was a VK calais V8 - worst car I've owned by a mile.

Third was a 97' Corolla as I had to drive a fair way to work and back.

Fourth car is my current R34.

Also have a 08 cbr600, and before that had an 07 vtr250.

Next I'm hoping will be an R34 GTR

Plus a heap of other cars that I bought and sold... haha.

Can't beat an old rally car to teach you how to drive!!!

first car I bought was a r32 gtst coupe.Learnt to drive on it too..was heapsa fun lol.Got thrashed,broken into,near accidents,LOSING TRACTION so bad in the wet lol.Sold it for $1K

Since then had two more coupe GTST and GTS4,then a R33 GTS25T coupe in white and now the gtr.

Skylines in my blood!

First Car: 89 Silvia SR20de

Second Car: 88 Silvia SR20det

My friends didn't even notice when I changed cars! >_<

Didnt know my brither was on SAU :P To be fair Leif, they were both black nuggets with loud exhausts to the untrained eye :P

My first car was a 1973 Eb1 Honda civic. 1200c of raw fury, 3/4 of the cylinders worked and it cost dad $250 with 7 months rego. Rebuilt, resprayed, retrimmed and rewired by yours truly, and sold for $450 after 12 motnsh of pizza delivery :blink:

Second and current car is a 1997 R33 series II GTS-T :laugh:

1st car 1971 HG GTS Monaro with a worked 350 Chev and 2 Speed Powerglide

nothing like learning to drive in an overpowered muscle car

that handles like something from 1971

1) 81 GH sigma. Only a 2Lt but it got a 5 speed and better diff ratio than the 2.6 4 speed versions, plus with the rebuild it got at 100k to fix the dead rings it went almost as well as a 2.6 too :P

2) S4 RX7 Sport bought for 8.8k. Basically An NA with turbo brakes, no power options and terrible wheels. It got an s4 turbo engine dropped in it after a year as the NA died. Spent 4k on the engine swap, another 7k or so in maintenance (the entire drive line was eventually replaced) and about 700 bucks on an exhaust....

3) 32 GTSt. Ended up with an rb25 in it. This is the point where mods started to get the better of me. Must have spent close to 40k on it over the years going through different suspension and wheels and turbo kits. Ended up putting it into a wall at Wakefield Park.

4) (current) unregistered S13 track car, bought NA, now turbo

5) (current) registered S13 rolling shell, it'll get the track cars old NA engine.

1. 1992 peugeot 205 gti (sold)

2. 2003 peugeot 307 hdi. 0 - 100 in 14secs.... (sold)

3. 1996 R33 S2 (sold to gumflapper on here)

    • 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.
