Iron Chef,

What are the chances of finding an absolute mint condition 1991 + two tone champagne gold/grey nissan Silvia s13 K's in Japan?

One in the same if not better condition than mine before the accident

Mine was non-accident and perfectly straight, and log books etc.

Would it be impossible almost?

As a side note:

I would effing love to see an s15 in the paint scheme posted above..

Instant gentleman kit, with the white n champagne two tone...

Oldschool 80s throwback vibe, 4 stud conversion with 15 inch work/ ssr rims...

God I'd love to see that..!!

lol the thread title had me worried there for a second...

They do exist, but they fall well into the realm of collectible classics these days, so you'd need to have very deep pockets to beat anyone local in Japan. Almost certainly more than it would cost to get one here. Look around for something tidy in Oz would be your best bet.

Rowan, your idea reminded me of this car...

So basically when I crashed my car.....I destroyed a collectible classic?

As bad I was already feeling...I now feel about 100 x more bad. Wow.....=(.

Omg shut up la bomba..!!

Go fix it if you care so much.

Kristian - wow that's exactly what I was talking about!!!!

It seems you can acquire a mint one from Japan for 10-15k. Not a bad price.

What are the differences between the 180sx type x and the s13 silvia? I heard the s13 silvia has a much stiffer rear end and thats about it?

Think $15K, not $10K ;)

If you're not trolling, probably best you Google the differences between the two ;)

I'm not trolling Chef, I'm using this account to try and sort out the accident and what I will do for a car for the future etc.

I just googled the differences. People are saying the rear parcel shelf and boof makes the rear end of the Silvia stiffer? However this seems like BS. Other websites are saying theres no differences (aside from aesthetics obviously).

I think for the moment, the best thing to I can do will just be to hop on the public transport until I get my full licence and I'll save up money in the meantime. I will definately be in contact with you to import a car Iron Chef...not now but once I talk to my mechanic to see what he thinks about the car I should buy and once I get the money.

The main thing I want when buying will be everything to be straight, no accidents etc. Wouldnt care if the car had a blown engine as long as the chassis was perfectly straight and in factory condition.

I'm turned off the s15 because it looks too mean and would probably feel too "new and advanced". I prefer "basic and raw" like the S13 Silvia.

At the moment I have $5000 saved up. I work part time as a Cadet Quantity Surveyor 2 days a week so I'm on $240 a week which means I'll have approx $15,000 saved by October.

Before you just decide to buy any car go test drive a few

Just assuming the s15 will feel too new is a stupid reason to avoid buying one

Yeah, good point actually.

In that case I'll have to wait till I can get my full licence in October so I can test drive some turbo vechiles.

I've always liked the Mazda Rx-7 FD3S but the fuel consumption is apparently astronomical...so I couldn't afford to run, let alone maintain one.

I like the lighter FR cars which pretty much limits me to S13 and S15 now that the rx7 has been ruled out as well as the S14 (Body looks too rounded for my liking, it reminds me of a capsule),

News flash:

Turbos are gay.

The novelty wears off after a while. I don't have one of those PSSSSHHHFFFFTTTTT blow off valves on my car.

Infact I had an apexi pod filter, but I took even THAT off because it made the factory bov a bit loud, I hate the idea that someone could one day see my car n think "his car sounds a bit like that wrx we saw with the driver that has his hat on backwards"

Turbos are gay.

My advice would be to get a cheap little civic to learn how to drive before you jump into a turbo FR. Seeing how you manage to write off your NA s13...

And with your pay, i'm not sure how you can afford to maintain any turbo cars tbh...

While I love S14's series 2's only

The price people want for these your better off with an s15

I paid $11900 for my s14 another $4k and I could have got an s15

But to be honest idtrade my s15 for a decent s14 I love the look of them with the stock side skirts and front bar and the JDM wing

    • 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.
