Not likely that i will be asking to run 95 octane in my car when u consider I pay near $8.00 per liter for fuel for my race car. The only reason I have to budget for my car is because I have to look at insurance costs aswell... Plus this is only a road car so I dont need anything that will be ultra fast.... After all my Formula 3 does 0-100kmh in 2.8 seconds so I dont quite think a GTR will supply me with the same thrill in terms of speed

Do you like the R32 GTR? Your $35k would get a very, very, very nice GTR.. and depending on personal opinion (and it's a close battle) I still think that the R32 is a better buy and better looking, between 32 and 33. R34 is king obviously. (you have to spend more bucks to get the R33 looking sexy)

You could even save some of your cash and spend - $28k - $30k (still getting a top R32) keep some spare for a nice set of rims, performance upg's or just save it!

i agree r33 gtrs look like fat camrys

cant go wrong .. the r33gtr .. is the fatter more weighted r32 .. in my eye ... even on stock boost and a really good cooler .. they just pull so so much torque... if u get em tuned right .. i've seen and been in a r33 gtrand when dyno'd and tuned was pulling 1234nm of torque and 184kw at the wheels .. there just rapid ...more weight isn;t really a bad thing in comparison to the r32 gtr ...u gotta get the power and torque down somehow

33 GTR's are the way to go... you get performance, supercar status and looks ain't that bad - i still get plenty of looks. If anyone is hung up about looks then spend the same amount on an r34gtt - but i tell you from experience my swap to a series 3 GTR is well worth it.

I havent seen or know the car but a melbourne user calvantys is selling an r33 gtr for $38k on the forums at present. Doesn't appear to be heavily modded, might be worth a look.

Haevy mod ....... well you guys going to be supprice if you have a look at my car, Yes i have listed alot of aftermarket parts but most of them is not even install on my car yet. Example my gear box haven been open before, look at the screw and you will know but i have a twin plate clucth.;)

Parts that are not install on my car but goes in a packet of my car is

Nismo Injector

Twin T618Z turbo (does not include in the packet)

Trust Piston (does not include in the packet)

Oil cooler

Power FC

Boost controller

and list goes on but my car is still stock on exhaust and Filter are currenly on else standard.

Just be careful even if you manage to pick up a GT-R for under 40k, it still has the running costs of a 130k motor car.

I have seen quite a few GT-R's under 40k. Majority of them have had some sort of accident history.

The servicing costs isn't bad but its more if something goes wrong. Engine Rebuilds, Gearboxes.. yikes!!.

Make sure you get it checked out and even go further by getting a 2nd opinion.

Try and get a GT-R where the Instrument cluster is original. All Clusters that have been modified are most likely non-original kms.

    • 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.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
