More than likely had a few mods, I mean a GTR that is 15 years old is bound to have encountered some fiddling here and there

The fact that it is still going strong means that whatever it had done to it, was performed properly and has done no real damage, and must have had a owner that looked after it

Errr Ok then.

Most 15 year old Japanese imports have been looked after by one mature gentleman owner, who never revved it over 2000rpm on his way to the pachinko parlour and had installed a triple plate clutch to help exercise his new artificial hip. Doctors advice. Get real! Nothing wrong with an old thrasher. They are well cool!

Next you will be telling me that Japs dont knock speedos! :P I laughed hard when the first yard I went to in Japan they had dashes lined up on the bench, winding kays off them. Ever noticed how many imports have 50,000km or 70,000km on them?

If its already been trained to thrash, then count yourself lucky someone in Japan has broken it in for you, and get on with the job of flogging the thing over here

hahah martin i agree with everythin u have written and also tell people that sorta thing. Mate i know my car aswell as almost everyother jap import has been thrashed to death, then us aussies buy them off them :P

Im sayin give the bloke a break thats all. Hes happy to have his car.

I wish I bought an ex drift car - probably would have saved me a bloody fortune in mods

Triple plate clutch, only one reason for that, and who knows whats inside the engine:) God it would be tempting to pull the engine down just to check. How is the idle? And heat shielding.... ah if only they could talk.

Well I guess I wont spare it any 8000RPM launches now :P

Just need to build up the courage, and definitely off street too! (Anyone know any "private" roads? ;p)

Idle isn't lumpy so no cams(or maybe not that agressive), guess I'll find out whats inside when I need to do something...in the meantime, guess I'll just get used to living with the original Godzilla.

Martin: I'm not disilusioned about the wound back speedo, I;m just happy the interior doesn't have any rips and the indicator stalks aren't white and the dash isn't cracked...but it does show its age in the speakers. The rubber surround dissintegrated when I touched it.

As far as I know if it was built to be driven hard, then I will put it to use! (Glad the jap owner agreed too, who needs "posers"?)

    • 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.
