ok

i took this r32 gts-t today for a drive

its incredible, the boost and torque, i know its nothing new to you guys but it was my first time in a turbo charged car.

but the car seems a lil dodgy

the engine plates says its a rb20de

but it clearly has a turbo

mods that i could see were:

big blue pod air filter

3" cat back full exhaust

gtr FMIC

heavy duty clutch

17" colour coded rims

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

but im not too sure about this car. i want to buy it tho.

im thinking it was a non turbo r32 gts cos it has the blue GT badges on the side

and the engine was replaced with a rb20det

or a turbo was just bolted on to the original rb20de

but im leaning towards it being a replaced engine because the kms are 60k kms which is pretty low for a 92 car.

But yeah its black which i love and the guy is located clive st Westall along center rd

jus wanna know what you guys think.

It drives great but it idles a bit too low for my liking. ( Bloody stalled it 2 times! haha) and i gotta get used to that heavy clutch

any advice people? price about 16k covers everything including rego but can prolli get it lower.

Thanks

So, if your car gets stolen and written off.. you get a whole $5000 back on a $16,000 car... sounds fair doesnt it?

Depends, then again if you're paying $5000 on insurance a year (which they do quote to young guys) its going to have to be a pretty serious accident to totally write off the car. 3 years times at least $4000 is going to cost you the value of that car... so well depends.

The whole "third party fire and theft" thing covering up to only $5000 or whatever is ridiculous, you may as well not have the theft part as its so token.

plz dun turn this into insurance thread. go post in the other threads. Im not gonna pay 5k a year to insure a car. its not worth it for a 10 year old car. Third party will do fine. it will be my fault entirely if i get the car smacked and i deserve to have it written off. which is why im not planning to smack this car. If it gets smacked it won't be my fault, it will be the other persons fault. I want to drive carefully.

but phew taking it for a run today was such a breath taker. meggala!!!

what color is dr drift selling his r32? and is he selling cheaper price with rego? and where is he located?

if u can find same car with same mods cheaper price ill be really grateful b'cos lately r32s have been really hard to find a decent one. And i dun wanna take the risk of importing incase it arrives late and i have to bypass the new laws in Feburary which will screw everything up.

and sposedly the guy said the turbo has been tweaked around with or it might even be replaced with a bigger turbo

hahaha u gotta be carefull when used car sales men start talking like this! Usually it means 'I dont know what i am talking about, i am just saying to you so u buy the car'

:)

yeah ill ask the guy tomolo

yeah the idling was a bit weird

when i was reversing and like holding the clutch in, the idle kept alternating between 0 and 1000 rpm

but ill take a proper look tomolo

and report back

and take down the engine number

you can have my car for $15k :) (no seriously)

mostly stock cept for 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust n extractors, dun 50k km (got it with 39k genuine kms)

Sounds like you've got a GTS that's got a turbo kit bolted on (exactly like meggala's), which means you'll never get a stock turbo on it.

The dealers pulling your tail if he reckons its never been trashed. The only reason sumone would turbo a GTS is if they wanted it to go faster and if it did go faster I'm SURE they'd have trashed it.

    • 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.
