yup, im pretty sure thats Andrew's stagea

well looked after but he bought a navara or something and no longer needs the stagea

are you in tas? even so its a good car and has a fair few bits and pieces on it for the money

i thought he got it tuned too but i could be thinking about another stagea

i had mine for sale for a bit but i've decided to keep it

one of the guys at autobarn has another white manual one

mine is manual

Ben who lives near the gorge has a white manual one

and so is Andrew's (the one for sale)

and there may be another getting about

I haven't seen the car in person since the last stagea meet which was a couple of years ago but i'm sure its still in top condition

well worth a look thats for sure

haha yeah well ive got a r32 gts4 heaps done i just hating having to drive it on the road every day when its track ready and its just burning a hole in my pocket and i would love a wagon like this one and just keep the skyline for a track car getting about for ages??

also ive heard storys that they use heaps of fule this true?

na, mines pretty good for what it is

auto sucks fuel a bit worse but best bet is to grab a new o2 sensor

i get around 10l/100km highway and 12+ city

roughly 500kms/tank and i'm usually a cheapskate and run it on 95 in tas due to the retarded price of bp ultimate lol

if your 32 is still running an rb20 it'll make you want to upgrade lol, the 25neo is such a good motor

also perfect car for a daily, i used to use mine as a delivery car when i worked at dominos haha

haha really thats not to bad lot better then the rb20 yeah i mean rb20 nice motor and all but just not for a daily and cant fit a pair of shoes in the back seats haha whats the diffrence between the rb25 and the neo??

the neo head is pretty close to the 26 head (solid lifters etc) but with no itb's but it has vct

some say it flows more than the 26 head

also cops 26 rods and maybe a few more goodies

are ok so are alot diffrent then well ill give him a ring next week coz im going to falls just hope it dont sell before that

and the awd in them can they be switched off like the 32 and 33 gtrs and gts4??

similar but different

there is a single wire plug under the dash which you unplug (or wire a switch to and put it on the dash)

start the car

pump the brake pedal around 5 times

AWD light starts flashing and its in rwd mode

yeah all the s2's have the neo (bar 260rs) and all manual's are s2's

only issue im having is the syncros in the gearbox are getting a bit worn and it crunches 4th if i go like 2nd to 4th

and my turbo has a bit of end float so it could do with a rebuild sometime soon

bought it at around 60k, now has about 130k

radiator top tank cracked too, new coolingpro rad was around $370 with postage and was fail

then replaced with a new stock rad for $220

and timing belt kit and waterpump at 100,000kms

thats about it as far as things going wrong goes

    • 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.
