don't listen to the crowd, its your car and it can look how you want it to look.

they all told me to get rid of the rust in the datsun too :)

Don't listen to this man, he owns two yellow cars :(

yeah and some people have already started moddin their cars while it sits in the holding yard till it can be shipped...

/me looks at lwells...

*sigh*

btw you guys gettin GTR's from japan would do well to grab the VIN numbers off your cars n run em thru the GTROC japan registry, if you're lucky you might find your ex owner :)

Bah leave the wing !!! It gives the whingers something to look at when you tear off infront of them :):(

If you don't mind me asking, what sorta price did it cost landed?  

17-20k?

20-23k?

23-26k?

Im going to take a guess of say......... $18,800

You will be happy with Prestige's service Steve

somewhere between $19k - $22k. sounds like too much?
I guess the only way to know is a few mths after you have got it and driven it to see what the condition is really like. It looks pretty neat in the 2 pics shown above.

As many others say, leave $3-5k aside just for general maintenance and it'll last you years !!

Their was a nice article in 1 of the HPI mags (issue 40 something) on the easiest, cheapest way to get good power out of a GTR for drag racing. Might be worth a read.

Congrats on the purchase mate. I've had my R32 GT-R for a little while now and can I just say it's depthless. I don't think I will ever get bored of the car or ever really completely understand it!

And if you are taking it on track (it's an R32 GT-R... you MUST!) leave the wing on! I have a feeling it would work pretty well on track.

Don't count on it being here and on the road in 4 months. There's all types of hassles yet. Sorry to be a bummer but just a little warning. I bought mine at the start of July last year and din't even lay eyes on it until March of this year. Then the fun starts.

Anyway, having said that, well done and you'll never look back!

also, what exactly do they change when they do compliancing? any r32 gtr owners like to share some info?

Side intrusion bars, drivers side mirror, fuel filler restrictor, dashboard dimmer, child restraints plus a few other things under the 15 year rule. My seatbelts, sunvisors, etc all stayed and I didn't need side indicators or a high mount brake light. Should set you back around $1500.00. The big problem is that it's getting hard to find a 15 year engineer that will sign off for you if you did the work yourself, at least here in Vic it is.

    • 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.
