It's too hard to convince my other half to sell it and get an R32 - I really don't mind this car - it's a good car - - i love it - it's the luxury version and has only done 78 000 and I know that if i buy an R32 it would have been flogged around by someone. I guess no one likes the idea of me trying to do up my car :cheers:

no one is saying that, whats said is youd do better to save your money and get a factory turbocharged skyline as there are differences other than just the turbo and the brakes.

your saying your car is a shitty series 1, if your not happy with the car to begin with how are you going to be happy with it when you have finished modifying it, cause in the end, its still a series 1 skyline, no matter what you do to it

do with your car what you want so you like it, and most of all enjoy your car.

I do like my car - it's just most people give our car crap - and i want to prove them that they can rock and look better than other R33's. That is why I am willing to spend the money on it. BUt most people are telling me to give up and buy another car - but I would much rather fix this one up to a certain standard and say that i have put all this work and effort into it- instead of just giving up and buying a whole new car. I like my car, but want to make it better, I wasn't dissing series 1's - me rikey the series 1 - thats why i bought it! I as just saying that R32's are also very nice. But I'm totally sticking with this car and in a couple of weeks i will show you the difference the wheels and other upgrades has done!

Kudos to you for having a plan and the fortitude to stick with it.

I think most people here, myself included I must admit, think it might be better on your hip pocket to go the other way, but it is your car and your money and you have an eye for the potential that you want out of it, so you can do whatever you like to it.

I can't wait to see the photo's and good luck with your project :cheers:

(just don't put a GTR badge on it lol )

I think most of us have come to appreciate the fact that with enough money you can make your skyline do anything you want. If you love your car, like most of us love ours, keep it and turn it into a masterpiece. The others were merely suggesting that if you have a target specification for the car in mind then buying something a bit closer to start with will be a lot less trouble. this was no doubt based on hard earned experience.

As with everything else in "Car Modification Land", the decision is yours.

Good luck with it.

No one under 30 leaves their skyline stock

*ahem* ;):( you are so full of shit :cheers:

you can dooo it!!! u dont have to prove to anyone anything - if u like the 33 than do the 33, if you like the 32 do the 32 - that said always do the 34 regardless of anything :D

32s have the proper touring look, and 33s have the proper street look...

though i think the s1 33 stock wing looks uber gay. and the car needs a bit of skirts, bar, and pods to get rid of the roundish shape

The plan is wheels, brake set, rear spoiler (currently doesn't have one - i agree they look 'uber gay') something low, black - kinda like a mini gtr wing, spoiler kit, then maybe if I'm lucky, turbo kit and maybe if i'm feeling even luckier, carbon bonnet - not sure about that one - thinking it may spoil it, and of course gotta ge rid of the old exhaust and muffler. But one day I know it will be my perfect car - one day!!

    • 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.
