Hi, havent visited for a while. I was just wondering if it was posible to find out on the Tommy Kaira website if the car is genuine. The car is an R33 GTST based Tommy, I was told you can check on the website, but as you know, it's in Japanese, I have selected English, but it still shows alot of Jap language, or is there another way, I have the vin and engine numbers.

If anyone can help it would be good.

Thankyou

Denis

Well, I took a punt and bought the thing, yes it does have the Tommy build plate, all body kit has Tommy badge plates on them, Tommy 17 inch wheels, the build plate is in the engine bay & looks authentic, so I just hope it's not just a good replica.

When i was in the gold coast last year I seen one of these, identical. May be this exact car.

Nice buy! Any special specs on these TK models? (apart from cosmetic bits of course)

The bloke who owned it installed a Blitz blow off valve and a HKS air intake. Just yesterday I removed both items & replaced with standard air box & re-connected the stock valve, I also replaced the blitz turbo pipe with the original one, "no cop is going to be defecting me" but anyway, I realy want to preserve this thing in its original state, "no noisy blow off valves for me", just good old Jap power the way they intended, although slower than my R32 GTR that I used to own, I enjoy driving it more. I had to get rid of the GTR because of my misses, but now I have decided to get rid of the misses & buy another Skyline.

that's going in my sig :bunny:

The worst part about it is, that it's true. My wife had the shits (when doesn't she) with me over the GTR, so I sold it about 6 months ago and bought a hilux ute, BUT! she found something else to have the shits with, so I said "I am buying a skyline", and she replied, "you do, and I am leaving" so I looked really hard to get one as soon as posible and brought it home & told her to start packing.

Good move.

I saw a Tommy parked at uni (UQ St Lucia) last week. These things sure look unique.

Went to get it tickled a bit yesterday, she now produces 155kw @ 11psi with stock intercooler & airbox, I know it's nothing compared to alot of cars here, but all I really wanted was to get a little bit more power, you sure can tell the difference, not only that, but I had no idea that the spark plugs had shit them selves. Driving back from the gold coast, if you reved it over 5500rpm she would break up, I thought that the waist gate was opening to early, but found out spark plugs were fouled up & set at 1.3mm gap, they fitted new plugs yesterday & set the gap @ .8mm. Before they replaced the plugs & they had it on the dyno, it only produced 118kw, What a difference hey? It's been raining here in Sydney so I haven't been able to run it at the higher boost yet, the stock boost is more than sufficiant now that it is running alot better due to the new plugs, but I hope this rain stops soon so I can go out and play.

I know I said "I want to preserve this thing in it's original state" but how long can you flog a dead horse, you got to face it, stock these things are nothing to rave about, but with a little extra boost, "hey", not even my misses could satisfy me like this thing does now. :)

Doesn't take much to get 180-200 at the wheels!

What would you suggest?

Me being a V8 man all my life, I have no real idea about how to go about it in a turbo charged car.

I just sold a cammed up VE SS with 332rwkw untouched bottom end, but it cost a pretty penny, like about $8500 + a clutch $2000. My R32 GTR was able to actualy beat it, not that I was racing a profesional, my wife to be exact.

Full exhaust system, aftermarket ECU, boost controller, front mount intercooler, tune.

Should yield you around 190-200rwkw and you will find it will probably be just as quick if not quicker than your stock R32 GTR.

How your R32 GTR was able to beat your SS with 332rwkw I have no idea :)

    • 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.
