Price and price conditions: $3000 obo
Contact Details: 0419 780 483
Location: Boronia VIC 3155
Condition:
Mechanicals: excellent
Cosmetics: poor condition paint
  • Rebuilt transmission, very tight

  • Big transmission cooler

  • Hayman Reese Heavy Duty Tow Bar

  • Near new Monroe GT Gas Shocks

  • New strut top bushes

  • New caster rod bushes

  • New Slotted rotors with hi-temp racespec pads up front to cope with towing

  • Near new rotors/pads in rear

  • Lowered very slightly

  • Catback exhaust

  • VT SS wheels with good tread on tyres

  • just had radiator flushed and new coolant

  • new rocker cover gaskets

  • 270,000kms approx (cluster had an issue a year ago, so replaced it with another dash, so kms are not accurate)


Car was driven by a VR/VS statesman specialist the other month when it was serviced and he commented on how he hasnt driven one in such good condition for years. The car drives very straight, never skips a beat, just looks poorly because of the paint.
Aircon is gassed but has some issues, haven't had quoted to fix.
$3k may seem a bit steep considering the paint, but this car is perfect for towing, HD shocks, HD towbar, rebuilt trans with cooler. Won't need to do anything to it, completely ready to tow.
Only selling as I'm going back to 1 car setup. Funnily enough I have never towed with this as my track car is still on jacks. Only used car as a backup daily when my r32 skyline daily broke down

    • 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.
    • 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.
