Unfortunately you need a full cage to use them at CAMS events. Also a porrly setup car will turn a set of slicks to loops of useless rubber quicker than you can say "bank loan" (a necessity for the cost)

Jack, I can see why you are disappointed with that zero potential barge of yours. I heard it run some big numbers. Did you take it to Perth????

LOL, yeah mate, just got back last week... Those westies sure know how to pull big ones..... numbers that is....

All you guys that said R33 look ugly and are shit and so on should be ashamed of yourselves. How can you call yourself a skyline enthusiast when you dont like one of them. I like all skylines, even the dirtiest DR30 to the the latest V35.

I have owned both a R32 and R33 and they have there pros and cons, but Id safely say they iron each other out. R33 are common in comparison to say a Chaser, but I doubt they be more than 3000 R33s in Australia. People get them because for the money, there a bloody good value car which is fairly reliable and go fairly decently.

Nowadays, I see way more R32s going around, banged up cheapie GTSts and R32 GTRs are everywhere (especially where I live in the North suburbs) so those who own R32s and think there driving something exclusive, wake up.

Interesting opinions. All in all I think a car is what the owner makes it..

Honestly a lot of people don't know what they are missing until they drive it, but thats probably good..means they are satisfied with what they have...In a way I hope I never drive a lamborghini...I'll be screwed

GTS33SOM: 25k wont buy you a 33 GTR.

Its evident from your avatar picture of your car that pulling girls and looking cool is far more important to you than how your car drives. Thats good for you.

Saying a GTR is for people who cant drive is true.. people who arent very good drivers can jump behind the wheel of one and smoke your ass. That to me sounds like a pretty good car to buy. Imagine what a skilled driver can do with one?

Umm apearences can be decieving. My car has alot more engine mods (build) than you may think.

What makes my car looks like its made for picking up chicks? The wheels? well they were on the car and are for sale.

Also this is my 2nd R33. The first one 100_00091.jpg

never had females in mind.

If you cant find a R33 GTR for less than 30 grand you cant be looking to hard.

Anyone can buy a car and mod the shit out of it.

I'm sure I could build a hyundai excel up to be faster than your car. Is that a cool thing to do? no.

The main reason is resale value.

Lets be realistic for a second.. Sinking 10k of mods into a GTSt that you pay 25k for.. how much will you be able to sell this car after owning it for a couple of years? 17-18k? Maybe 20k if your really lucky?

Or with the 35k you could have bought an r33 GTR.. how much could you sell that same car after the same period of time? Hmmm.. probably 35k, but listing it at 30 would get rid of it pretty damn quickly.

Sure, the modified GTS-t may be faster or do cool burnouts, but I know which car would be more balanced and the more enjoyable steer.

How many GTR's have you driven anyway?

Dunno about the "more balance and enjoyable" bits, gtr are fast-fast cars but as a fun car a gts is more of a fun car, surely you can go harder and quicker in a gtr, but a boosted gts

is a hard car to beat for fun, just in case everyone ask have i driven or own a gtr, some of these are current and some are past cars 2xr32gtr one r33 gtr one r33gtst and rexes-audis-bmw-ferraris-lotus, of all the car I've driven , no awd has the same connection to the driver like a rwd, an AWD car can only dream of doing so.

I drivin a 32 GTR and I have been in a couple 33GTRs.

I never expected any GTRs owners to agree with me, I mean why would they? They bought a GTR for there own reasons just like I bought a GTST.

Who spends money on car and cares about the resale??

Basically everyones idea of 'fun' is different....sideways...fast and neat...its up to you..Be honest guys..I'm sure most of you think your own car is the best or has the potential to be the best and its good to see a hungry dedication to your car.. Discusssions like this will never be won by one car...each to their own and will always be..until you try something else and your thoughts change then again it starts...'my old car was good, but this one...'

etc etc...you know I'm right...I'll admit I have been guilty of it

Agreed :):D:D

But I do miss my white 33. No one picked on it :P jk

I'm confused, are people really trying to argue thier GTSt is better than a GTR?

which part? the RB25 vs RB26? The traction and handling of a GTR vs GTS?

Only advantage i can think of for GTS is the weight.

Basically everyones idea of 'fun' is different....sideways...fast and neat...its up to you..Be honest guys..

Have 5 different cars, one for every occasion. :(

FWD 4, RWD V8, RWD 6T, RWD 6TT, AWD 6TT. Fun for the whole family, just me and the wife ;)

[not a model of every bloody GTR Rick, you hog!!!:P]

    • 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.
    • 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.
