Hey fellas,

In looking at some Skylines, I've seen some R33s around the 70-80,000km mark. They look good enough, but I'm worried that within 1.5-2yrs it would be over the 100,000km mark.

Can one expect significant deterioration in the durables at that stage? For example, if you bought a genuine 50,000km R33, you might only have to replace the durables once or twice in the period you own the car. For a car with more, you might be doing it three or four times.

Just wondering what the maintainence cost implications are because I've been targetting the 40-60,000km mark but I would definitely be opening a few doors if I looked a bit higher..

I would look higher. As you would know, the under 50,000km cars usually sell for a premium price at the auctions....and you can really get more of a bargain if you are willing to be more flexible in this regard.

Look more at the condition, rather than the kms.

As for maintenance, i bought mine with 88,000kms on it and it now has 126,000kms and I haven't had anything go wrong - i've only had to pay for normal servicing costs.

yes it had fairly high kays when i bought it...but it was a grade 4, stock standard car, which is more what I looked at, rather than the kms :)

Wow that is really sweet, nothing more than the normal servicing costs.  I hope I'm that lucky, that is really sweet.

Wow Usher, i love him , his so freeqin good,

ANyways, anytime u want Timmy u can gimme a call 95 r33 fs :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      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.
