Hi all,

I have finally purchased a car I have wanted for a few years: R33 Skyline!!

Its an R33 GTS-t Type M Series 1. It has the type M body kit with the factory optioned GTR wing, I think they are GTR skirts?? I am not sure. The car has the following mods: Nismo sports suspension, Nismo fuel regulator, GTR fuel pump, Apexi pod filter, HKS SS B.O.V(not fitted), Turbo back Trust pwr evo II exhaust,

Greddy turbo timer. Japanese 17" rims, Tinted windows, Suspected heavy duty clutch. HKS start button.

I havent got the car yet but I have already purchased for it Nismo clear side indicators and a Nismo grill. The car needs the front bar repaired/resprayed as well but its not that big a deal as my girlfriends brother is a very good panel beater/spray painter, I think we are going to re-spray the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. The wheels have a few gutter scratchers so I will get them repaired. I am very pleased with it. I have some photos but the car is dirty so they arent to good. I just have to learn how to drive it good and how it reacts different circumstances, wet weather, etc. Can anyone tell me how to clean the headlights good to get rid of that murky look or do I need to buy new ones?

Hope you guys like.

Cheers.

Dazz.

no need to replace the front lights

i'm not completely sure what product it was but some guys on a SAU cruise in the ACT were using some meguiars stuff for the headlights. may have been the window washing stuff, worked wonders - made the light completely clear and new-looking again.

just had a look, i think it was the meguiars no smear glass cleaner. i use the stuff on the windows and works wonders, give it a try

Haha, yeah I purchased local, well sort of, Melbourne is about 3 1/2 hours from me! As soon as I get it I will be detailing it!! Thanks for that about the side skirts, I like them even better now, lol.

Thanks 95GTST, I was thinking of going to the Casterton drags but I am not sure yet, see how the weekend unfolds. I will definately be taking the car to the drags, we have an 1/8 mile in Warrnambool but I would rather go over the proper 1/4 to get a proper time.

    • 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.
