I think they are over powered for the standard suspension brakes and tyres so theyre out of the sports car league, but a bit too hard edged to really be a GT (not to mention theyre tiny inside) so I'll go muscle car.

Plus the idea of a Japanese muscle car amuses me lol

Its not a v8, muscle cars are all v8's, it fits the other criteria of sports car, those being light (ralatively, especial compared to gt's), not particularely forgiving and relatively small. MG's were called sports cars and they have the worst brakes of anything in existance don't they? I'm just assuming that bit, 'cause they're british. :)

and besides all that, what was the braking and tires of the day in 1982??

Guess a Hyundai Excel must be a "sports" car then... :)

I think its just a "GT" to be honest.. grand tourer.. pretty much a road car fairly well appointed, but can be used for occasional track work.

Most of the GT skylines are like that really I suppose. Not the luxurious of the luxurious, but above your average car, and above average performance.

I slayed a worked VS SS commodore manual on the weekend running 14.5psi and a wife and 2 kids. We pulled up next to each other in the middle of Diamond Creek and he wound down his window and asked "What the hell is that?!!"

HR30 + RB20DET + new turbo = drag car / sports car

I agree, they are a sports car, you wouldn't buy one for touring up highways and muscle cars are generally V8 sedans.

What would a GTR XU1 Torana be? (Other than a bucket of Holden Crap) I think the DR30 would fit in with that.

Muscle Cars don't have to be V8's, all the Hemi Chargers and Pacers should be considered muscle cars I think, maybe GTR XU1's, XR6 Turbo, I'd say a mucle car is anything with either a shiteload of power or too much power as standard for the tyres, brakes and suspension. Which a DR30 definitely has

Hmmm,so would a DR30 with,say...R32 4 pot calipers and rotors on S13 coil-overs wearing fat rims with sticky rubber be a sports car,or still a muscle car?

No thats just a skyline thats very confused :D

I agree that i think its more of a grand tourer, its to big to be a sports car (to me a sports car is something thats light and chuckable), could be classed as a muscle car, but it just doesn't have that real angry persona about it that i think a muscle car should...Where was that comment out a hair dressers car??? LOL

It is a sheep in sheeps clothing.

It has round stove top tail lights ... that is what is important

Aren't they just grand for slip lanes and corners where you can gingerly apply throttle until the squirming signifies all hell is going to break loose?

And what's this crap about them not handling any good. If you want something soft and predicatable then drive a camry. If you want to feel like you've been slingshot around a corner get yourself an M or D R30. My MR30 poo poos all over the Z I had. Ok it isn't a freakin F1 but a WRX is a sports car and they aren't renowned for mid corner speed or stability. Here endeth the lecture................

They have more power than the stock suspension and tyres will take, doesnt mean they don't handle, its just easy to go too fast. Having said that, the R200 is good because even with crap tyres I never had the back end wanting to meet the front end while doing hills blitzes (except the time I decided to try Kmart tyres with 36psi on the back lol)

    • 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.
