Hey KLowN,

welcome to sau :D

11,000 is pushing it to get a turbo r33 skyline, the lowest i have seen one sell for was BAMBAM skyline which went for 13,000 but most are around 18,000+ mark. You might want to look at importing a r33, it might work out cheaper than buying localy but then again it might not with all the new import laws etc (for importing website check out www.j-spec.com/list and http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au )

Im 17 and own a r33 gtst and let me tell you, its hard a times, something brakes or you want to do some work on the car and ur bank balance soon becomes zero :) Insurance will be the biggest killer, i was quote $4100 for my skyline from just-cars and they were the only ones which would do it the rest of the companys said no imports or no drivers under 21 :) 3rd party its half ok if you drive, normal $600.

At the moment i would say if the r33 isnt in your price range and if your not a big fan of importing a car, then go for something like a s13 or 180sx yes i know its not a skyline but it still an awsome car, i would say go buy a r32 if u cant afford a r33 but in perth 32 most of the time sell for the same price as 33 as there arnt may around. But if you were to import im sure u could find a nice turbo 32 (89 model thou) for around 10/11k landed

have alook here for some info

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/?/au/...sp?StockID=2458 - R33

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/?/au/...sp?StockID=2458 -R32

if there is anything else u need help with just ask, i will be more than willing to help, as i have ask a few question in my days (im sure the rest of the members, r sick of me :() and i know how hard it can be when 1st looking for a car :)

Klown, I'm afraid Mikey is right, owning a Skyline is very expensive, and isn't something you should really consider till you have a steady income. That doesn't mean that your not welcome to come on our cruises, I'm sure many people will offer you a lift.

Hey npz dude :) my number is 0422 789 830, i see when i get early finish one day (as im in yr12 :)) and i might be able to keep u up from school depends where u at. Remember when looking at the skyline this weekend, dont go crazy style cuz ur looking at a skyline, try and look at every little thing, general stuff like rush etc, also try and get the owner to have a compression test done on the car to see if its running fine.

But goodluck hay, 12k its a pretty good price (must be an auto :D), i was luck enough to get a skyline with full kit, exhuast, bov, system, 17inch rims; for a very good price and it was it top shape :D

I just give you an idea of running cost :)

Fuel (depending of how u drive, if ur always boost or not :() but i get general about 400km to a tank doing all my running around to school and back home. So it cost me about $50 a week for fuel at current fuel prices. Remember with a skyline It is very import to use BP 98 octanc fuel, becuase the car where made to run on 100 octanc fuel which they have in jap. I found that running normal fuel would result in the car pinging at higher boost (around 0.7bar)

Pinging means that ur piston are getting damage basicly which isnt good :(

Im getting a major services done (which should be done at 100,000km) and its going to cost me $1000 and that is from a good place (hyperdrive).

Ohh yeah general things like changing my springs cost me around $50

New clutch cost me $800 install - the clutch was a 5 punk button clutch

Ebc (eletrico boost controller) (so i can change my boost lvl when im driving) cost me 2nd hand $300; i install it myself so that was ok took about 1/2hr

Just change my tyres and was lucky only cost me $680 for 17inch 235, that inc fitting balancing etc

basicly once u get the car, u will most likly not want to keep it stock, u want to change this and that even if its just putting a bodykit or adding a boost gauge. So sometimes ur money goes fast :(

One tip: DONT RUN HIGH BOOST LVL, i say stay around the stock area 0.5bar/0.6bar i have been running that constantly (and now days im running 0.4bar stock lvl) and you find that you wont have any problems with destoring your piston or your engine :D

thanx for the advice man, i go to corpus christi btw, im in yr 12 too.

yer ill look at the whole car, my dad knows a bit and hell help me out. wen i get my car, u can help me trik it out :0P that would b sic. lol yer it is an auto, but it dont matter, im thinking next yr ill get a turbo/manual conversion. cheers for takin the time to help me out ppl, special thanx to mikey.

cheers again,

murdoch? damn thats far (for a northie like me anyway)

thanks mikey, i'm sitting here reading this stuff as well hehe :P

but yeah my two cents Steve, cars are quite expensive lards to maintain, fuel is a b!tch these days and i just got my brakes done yesterday (also at hyperdrive) and that took a good couple of hundred (thats on the cheap side)... for students, keeping cars's a tough life. Ohh the price we pay... T_T

R33s and R32s are tough to find for 11k aint it? Haha, try and find mine. Period. :)

mike :)

And all that means fark all - cause if you read his posts he doent want a turbo (read first post) and in his other thread i think he mentioned getting a gts (non turbo)....

so Klown if ive got it right - your getting a gts non turbo - then you can run it on normal unleaded and dont waste your time and money on performance mods - cause its still gona be a slug.

At the end of the day a non turbo skyline is crap - your better off getting a r32 for that money cause you will be able to get a turbo model (gtst) - otherwise buy a V8 commy cause a non turbo skyline will be a waste of time.

PS - i went to Corpus Christi to, except I was cool.

u do? where u at? y do u go for coffee? yer its in murdoch

nah i only got that info there, so id fit in, coz evry1 here has a fully sic car, cept me :)

its at this place on Sommervile Dr called Sommerville Cafe, dont know if you've heard it.. look for the big group of Imports outside :P

hey bam,

i know the place... i see you guys there alot.

next time i drive by i should drop in and say hi instead of just driving by and making a noise :)

anyway... sorry to hijack... but i woulld say to hold on until you are finished.

there is no point in getting a gst auto and then spending ALOT of money to get a conversion... that is if you are after performance i may add though.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
