All I was doing was making it fair by having all concerned with a manual transmission (apples with apples),, I did a bit of hastey research to come up with my side of the argument, so far your side of the argument is "what you think"if you think Im wrong prove it with something,

I dont feel Im coming of as a know it all, people have been making statements without any backing, my points are from a bit of research.

I recoken your average boy wanna be racers at the lights would be faster in an auto car then a manual, purely because majority of them can't shift for crap.

Almost chomped a new ve hsv the other day in my na skyline, mainly due to the fact he couldn't shift and missed second haha, lucky I wasn't racing or the would've been very embarrassing for him

In that case, girls should be better because they can multitask :P

Lol n/a skyline chomping HSV. As much as I dislike Holden's I very much would back the HSV over a n/a skyline.

This has made my day. Thank you good p player sir.

haha didnt say i did or could if he didnt miss second, it was just funny seeing him boot it then hit limiter and missing a gear. its not just p platers who cant drive but alot of us do suck haha. and i know i would get destroyed by one almost every single time

He didn't say his car was faster than a VE HSV. He said he almost beat one in a race, which is a pretty legitimate thing to say, if that's what happened. Last I checked, whoever crosses the finish line first, wins a race. Put someone who literally can't drive a manual, as in, doesn't even know what a clutch pedal is for...into a manual 911 turbo...and you will beat them with a Hyundai each and every time.

what a thread :laugh:

dont get an n/a skyline or silvia, theyre both crap

/end thread

they may not be very fast, but i would hardly say their crap. Perhaps not the best value for money cars, but their still nice cars, drive well and look good.

with simple mods like coilovers, sway bars, and good wheels/tyres they look good and handle nicely.

while there are better cars for the price (or less) if he really wants a skyline or a silvia and can only get an n/a one theres nothing wrong with them!

as long as you dont treat it like a race car and try, drag race everyone at the lights, generally act like an idiot on these forums and think you're the fastest guy around, and continually spam us all for info on how to make your car faster and acknowledge the car for what it is I don't see the problem.

Agreed with Jonno and Birds, don't know why theres so much hate for NAs. Our skylines were originally spawned as NA's anyway. I personally wouldn't waste my time with NA's now after having turbo skylines, but I have had NA skylines and they were a blast during my Ps. Sure theyre not the cheapest and best handling cars (say an old Peugeut) but I mean really, look at an old Peugeut and then look at a Skyline... it's not that hard of a choice for a P Plater.

^ those old peugeots arent all too bad you know, the 306's and 405's and even 605's were pretty good looking cars (in my opinon - which some/many laugh at), and some of them even have some pretty decently quick engines!

tbh totally wouldn't mind one at all, but no experience and haven't heard much about their reliability and whatnot

off topic though :)

Wow what a thread.

I had to make the same decision about a year ago although i was looking at turbo models. I went with the R34 mainly because i felt u get more car for less money & I love straight 6's.

If you are looking to get the car & maybe do 1 or 2 mods & just drive it around for 3 years until u get your opens I say go for it. The issue with that is sometimes its hard to stop at 1 or 2 mods.

if you are planning on getting the car & modding it, id suggest u dont. I was in the same boat as u. Almost bought a N/A skyline 3 times but I took ppl's advice & I waited to get off my P's coz if i got it I would have thrown lots of money at it & then bought a turbo when i got my opens anyways.

Just my 2 cents.

I was in the same case although looking at the turbo models. The s15 to me felt a bit more sporty however the 34 seemed alot more solid and ridgid in my opinion. Just felt like it stuck to the road a bit more. So i ended up with a 34. But dont take other peoples advice. Drive a few different cars and see which one you prefer.

i beat a r33 gts-t in my v6 magna at willowbank. i crossed the line first, but his time was 0.1 faster than mine and his trap speed was a touch higher, and by the end of the night he was running times about a second faster than me. doesn't change the fact that on the timeslip it says i won the race. i should point out that i don't go round saying that my magna beat a turbo skyline. i just bring it up in threads like this to make a point. i don't know what that point is, i just like stories.

    • 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.
