Another option is going to Pickles and finding a clapped out smashed up R33 NA auto for cheap. Strip all the interior parts, whatever else you need.

Then drop in a Barra motor, ZF8HP, 500kW dis dat stock internals.

That is a great option. I would have to get a donor car anyway. I was already deciding between rb and barra. Barra are really cheap so might go that option.

I can agree with you on that. I dont even know what the point of that was (I guess he was testing out his angle grinder haha).

Man, the time to build up a skyline from a shell was 5-8 years ago when the parts where plentiful and cheap. Anyone selling anything these days thinks it's made from gold.

5 years ago I bought a complete good condition R33 interior and boot trims minus front door cards for $50. Good luck even trying to find that stuff now.

 

Anyway, please post updates and can we get an ETA of when we will see a skid vid. Thanks.

Yeah as I said I will probably buy a donor car. Skid vid will happen as soon as an engine gets in car. Give it a couple months haha

No. It's been posted in this thread before. That sort of cut is what is done to prevent anyone from attempting to put a written off car back on the road. The fact of this thing coming up "clean" without an entry on a WOVR is a mystery.

Haha, that is funny. So wildly unrealistic budget expectations and time frame.

 

Dude, abort.

write down the bits you need and put a price next to it. You spent 400 on a subframe that still needs heaps  of stuff. 

 

this "build" will burn cash beyond belief.

 

 

 

anyway, weld that roof up first and show results. And rustproof it so it doesnt rust apart in a few years.

I was joking of course it will take way longer. And yeah I will weld up the roof ASAP. And yeah I will rethink the plan. 

Parts I have now are (Have only spent 600 so far + 300 for shell, and got parts off some of my friends that they just had laying around.)

-Rear Subframe

-Hood/Bonnet

-Doors

-Boot

-Tein Coilovers

-Rear Bumper

-Boot

Yeah well I can repair that. And have checked VIN + Engine number with the Department of Transport and they said it is clean (Probably should be written off but for some reason it has not been).

Not to be an ass. But if you think A) you can repair that or B) its a good idea. You are truely an idiot. 

As stated many times the cost and effort involved would be astronomical, and in the end you'll still end up with a heap of shit.

Alright I'll abandon the project. People are saying it is too much work

    • 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.
