Hmmm i dunno about those racv test's.I sold a car once and i kid you not the car was imac.Now the mew owner got a test done after he bought it.....The car was an Isuzu MU,Now they said the wastegate is jammed on the turbo charger...now if its jammed open..it get no boost..now if its jammed shut it will overboost and **** itself....now after he had it done i checked the car and the report...they said the trans had leaks...there wasnt and leak at all...there was a small amount of seepage around the rubber hoses but it wasnt leaking...and the turbocharger OMG...i hooked up a vacum gauge to the car and stuck it in park and stood on the brake and wham it went to 8psi then cracked off and held steady......they also said"essesive black smoke"I got all the stuff check by allfleet deisel services in airport west and they laughed at the report..."nothing is wrong with it"the guy said.And to top it off when the guy took it in to get tested the radio worked and when he picked it up.....it didnt.I called them and the guy that done the report wouldnt speak to me and the guy on the phone said "oh well the wastegate musthave unjammed itself" I just told them i didnt think they knew what they were doing and the guy is very upset with them coz we had it double checked and there is nothing wrong apart from the radio prob which they caused....make your own mind up but id be getting a perfomance place to check it before racv...

It's clean...completely clean. No mods. Done about 42000Ks but I figured it's been knocked back. But had my mechanic go through it and it's in A1, the trims all fine etc. Only thing is the hicas light shows up occasionally. And I hate those damn rims...I'd be quite happy to get a stock 2nd hand set if anyone wants to sell. It's got a GTR spoiler too..which kinda spoils the understated look.

I'll try and get the web space tonight to host it up. Thanks for all the advice guys!

Red32 (Ross), a friend of mine is also looking for a 32, I'll pass the message to him. Although, I think he's looking at about 15-16K too. Is your car still up for sale?

Hi guys,

Just some questions about my 32 that I'd like to ask. I'm still a newbie here, so forgive my ignorance.

1. What the heck is a Type-M? What's so different between that and a standard GTST?

2. With my fan switched on (air-con is off), I notice my revs at idle keep varying between 650-850. And the tone of the engine note is variable. However, with the air-con on, it's at 900 and it stays constant. Why is this so? Anyway I can stop the variations? Do an ECU reset?

3. Where can I find a knowledgeable skyline or nissan sportscar mechanic in Melbourne? Any recommendations?

Type M = Turbo, Type S = Non Turbo (roughly, there are the exceptions

The revs are higher coz there's more power drawn from the engine (alternator etc) when you switch the AC on. Check it out, put a stereo in and turn it on, put your demisters on, put your fog lights and headlights on and your engine tone will change. All cars do it, some just do it more noticably than others. You could stop the variations by using a 2nd batterey to operate all accessories off and using a trickling circuit to trickle charge the battery only while the car is in motion... or you could put up with the tone changes. Personally I use the tone to check what I've got on.

Where can I find a knowledgeable skyline or nissan sportscar mechanic in Melbourne? Any recommendations?

Trying to find one myself, but meggala recomended sum dude in Cheltenham, or there's Dean, but I dunno if he does servicing. Ask them for more details.

Actually...the revs vary when I have no aircondition on. So while it's at idle...the tone changes quite frequently. Isn't that quite disturbing :D

Will check out ICEPERFORMANCE.

The thing is...my car looks different from those with a Type M bodykit. Is there such a thing? I'd like a body kit like that...not too ostentatious :D

my one has the Type M kit does it look like that?

u can also get Type - X which was the CA18 4 cylinder engine, the Type - XG which was the RB25DE and i think thats about it...

    • 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.
