I know that the number of older Japanese performance cars on the road in Japan would be fairly low now, but do people generally have a lot of respect for the older cars? I'd assume that the older guys do, but what about the younger generations?

And what older cars do they have a lot of respect for? (aside from the obvious Hakosukas', S30s and KPCs)

Basically they got their sbscribers to vote for their favourite, and its the order of most popular classic japanese car to least. And that's the top 25 of that list.

Nostalgic Hero is like "the" classic car collectors magazine in Japan.

DR30 doesnt, and 211 Turbo barely does

I think the Galant GTO isnt much older either if its the one I'm thinking of

But yeah, most are 60's/early 70's

Galant GTO MR is 1970.

As I said there are some I agree, some I don't and some which got left out. One I have to admit is the '80s DR30, I can't believe it is in there...it ain't nostalgic enough to mix with those in the list. Yes most are 60s and 70s.

As for the voting, I'm not sure as I was only interested in the read itself. Many of the owner's who had their car featured basically kept the car in the family when their old man bought the car....the 2000GT was increadible...immaculately kept to this day.

V8Skylineman: 211 is in there.

Ah k, I thought it was the boxy early 80's Lancer

Yeah, DR30 does seem quite out of place, they still feel reasonably modern to drive (well... mine is much nicer than the near new Lancer I drove to other night) and don't really have a nice flowing shape (actually from some angles I think the proportions are awful)

Still, its nice to see it in there, shows I bought something that still gets respect with all the other classic Japanese cars

Adam, I think you were thinking of the A-175A Lancer, I actually want one of those...they are 1980s. They could have been considered for the list above given it's Rally victory success in the 80s. I did see one but was snatched up really quick, has the early 4G32 motor and 4wd running gear...you can guess what I need the shell for a sleeper.

GTSR22, you should learn to spell? 2000GT is a very car, love them too. Very sought after car in any collectors garage and demands more than a KPGC10.

    • 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.
