I have enough time I think ... thats not much of a problem

Tools/Skill/Space to work on is the biggest issue for me ... really need to check out M'Mates place for SAUWA members thumbsup.gif

why not just ask the guys at the laser wreckers for a bargain bomb. tell them you work next door they should look after you ok..they're a good little car and support is right next door if you need it.it will also use lot less fuel than a 3lt skyline.

my mate had an old KA laser with flat top pistons and some head work and it flew. see if the headgasket is gone it means you have to take the head off, with all these little old cars you simply send the head away for some porting and tougher springs and shave it for higher compression and you will have a little rocket,it really is that easy with little four bangers as long as your compression is good .Sure it wont beat a skyline in a straight line but they make great little zippy cars that are lots of fun corner great and are easy to park. Much more fun than a boring 3lt auto tank if you ask me :D

If you tell the guys at the wrecker this is what your looking for I reckon they would help you out..

Arthur that sounds like a good idea, would probably be able to get a good car from them, but would I have to get it to pass the pits/no rego etc?

No more R31s for sale in perth at a affordable price :(

Checking out 2 corollas today, a 1980 sedan and 1983 hatch :)

Well the hatch felt very weird to drive so thats a no go-er

the sedan is very likely though, the owner said hes taking it into a mechanics for me to check everything out and if it checks out well then we'll see :thumbsup.gif

Just one question ... were they missing a side mirror on the left hand side? the owner said its a factory thing ...

And also how hard is a dodgy speedo to fix?

Its here! I name it .. Bob the Bunky

1980 corolla sedan .. pics will be up asap! I should take it to work and give it a real good detail/clean first

Its worse than I initially thought but I picked it up for 800 bucks .. gonna get a mate who knows his stuff over and give it a real good checking out

I checked out that tonight.

Lol, its got 423km on the lock, apparently 100km on the motor (this i believe, it was sweet as)

Needs fair bit cosmetic work but mech seems great, cold ac and all... But 423km! Guy plainly said he could've chucked in a low km cluster but didn't want to lie.. good on him. I'm inbetween about it atm..

thats the ad!

James that looks like a nice buy! How many cars do you have now? LOL

Pretty sure the 1980 rollas were RWD Yeah?

Yes I'm a bit bummed about the a/c ... but I havent found any other car that drives better, and id rather a nice well working car without a/c i guess .. although im probably just saying that while its winter!

Sounds good to me! Cosmetic is nothing IMO. I would believe the bloke if he said that too, plus you said it runs nice. I had an old vr commodore when I got my p's and ran it up to 390km and after doing the engine, box and suspension it drove like new. If I had slapped a low k dash in you wouldn't tell the difference!

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
