in your professional opinions, wat would be an ideal first car for up to 15 grand?? i would really love an r33, but i know you would be really pushing it for a good condition turbo r33 for 15. (im not interested in a sedan) if u know of any r33 gts-t's for under 15 please let me know. anyways, ive been looking at s13's, s14's, 180's, r32's and supras. my preference would be either a 180 or an r32, as u can get good examples of them for under 15. anyway, wat do u guys reckon?? or any other suggestions?? thanks

I rekon you should get a nice R32 GTS-t or 180SX, or you could get a naturally aspirated R33 found around $14,000 ~ $15,000, plus with natural aspiration insurance will be alot cheaper and so will fuel bills etc, but GTS' have 4 stud wheels and not 5 stud. :P

thanks for the opinions guys!! yeh that bluebird looked good, until i seen its an auto:( in my personal opinion i reckon the skyline sedans are pretty ugly, just my preference. a sileighty would be good, even better would be a onevia, wat kind of prices do onevias fetch? anyway, it will most likely come down to either a 180 or a r32. wat u guys reckon? or any other suggestions?

R32 GTS4-t? Not hugely powerful, dulled a little by 4WD over GTS-t, but a nice stable platform with (der) 4WD (and its the good stuff from the GT-R, not a cheap version). Easy to drop a new engine into it when you want more powah.

I'd stay away from the Silvia's personally: lot of power in a light car = too many ploughed into things.

    • 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.
