Hi guys,

I'm a Newbie to Skylines and cars in general. I'm looking at an R33 (not sure what series) tomorrow.

It's white, manual, turbo, no mods except GTR bodykit and exhaust.

Apparently the interior is a pig of a car but the engine has been rebuilt recently due to a friend blowing up their engine.

Price is $7k cash. (I only have $8k).

What should I look out for when I inspect the car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys,

Sanjay

Does everyone think that Series 2 are much better than series 1 R33's because of the ABS and Airbags?

I'll be honest, I need to get my post count up to 10 before I can reply to PM's.

So rather than write shit on someone else's topic, I thought I might ask a relevant question here.

Sorry to offend!

Up to you if you think the ABS & airbags are worth it... I didn't care that mine didn't have neither, since the car I drove before (VN commodore) had none, its good old seat belts is all I need.

Theres not much difference from the performance side from S1 or S2...

The main difference with the series II is the different stlying. Have a look at a series II and a series I, pick which one you like the look of better (because if you decide to change at a later date it costs a shit load).

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
