Brother in law just got of his P plates and has about 10k to buy a car, he seems pretty set on a lancer but i reckon there has to be something better......I may be wrong, but there just too girly to me

So throw some opinions at me, ideally post 2000 and under 100,000kms

Flirted with the idea of a falcodore,(it would be my choice) but i think he wants something better on fuel..

But when you get four blokes in a 4 cylinder they suck juice anyways...

R34 sedan would be cool, might throw that one at him, would you get one for 10k but

i kinda get the feeling that lancers are the IN thing these days, im old so wouldnt know anymore...lol

I have no idea why unless it has something to do with EVOs, but the average lancer is nothing like an EVO

P.S.Just found this, i reckon its cooler than a lancer

Lancers are cheap/easy to cosmetically mod, plus their cheap outright price.

They do exist below 10k, unlikely to get 2000 model, but '98s are easy enough. Stress to him the reliability of the RB engine.

Great first cars.

just tell him the 34 will attract the pussey.. and the lancer will attract the cawk.. and to buy the lancer if he loves the cawk..

R31 GXE and drop a few grand in it to look sweet. which leaves you lots of beer money and a car that is built good. wrecking yard parts source if required as well ?

mine has 485,000k on a unopened engine , besides the belts,pulleys, water pump

still purrs better the the R34..lol

or a Honda, they last forever and they make some cool parts for them...lol

chicks cars...with frangapani stickers in them

lancer, common

Hyundia, Common

Thats some damn good mileage mate..

Yeah he has a hyundai excel atm, im trying really hard for him not to make the same mistake again.. He has very little mech knowledge so it needs to be something simple..

Im all for the honda too but i cant find one cool enough at the right price...a couple of nice integras, but they are old.

looking through carsales but its amazing how many high mileage hondas are there in really good condition

Tell him to get this.... i'm still waiting for a perfect example to come by and i'll grab one myself.

I think they are the bees knees when it comes to looks

How about a 323 SP20?

http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/result..._Model_String|0

Got to be better than a lancer

maybe..but still very girly.. I've shown him a few sss pulsars , even a v6 5spd camry 1 owner 82000kms...that would move...even a few 200sx in price range...i just dont get the lancer fascination

I even met a guy selling a tomi makinenen edition evo... worth taking a loan out for if u ask me... but no...

how is this not mentioned yet? i would get that over an ER34 ANYDAY

2jz non turbo soarer. - 3L straight 6. p plate legal.

feature full and very tangible for under 10K

shop around he'd probably have some money left over.

dual airbags. economical. confortable drive. one of the safest cars on the road - nothing goes wrong with them - unlike dirty nissans... *cough*

why not consider a non turbo soarer???

but yeah - lancer - if that's what he wants... then that's what he wants.. my advice is, take him with you to test drive a lanEVO. ie: you drive it - cos he won't be able to... feel what an evo drives like - then take him for a drive in a lancer - just so he does actually know the difference between the two...

How about a 3.5L V6 Magna? they got some balls and with come in at the 10k price range for a post 2000...

    • 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.
