hey everyone

im in year 12 and i sat down to talk to my dad about what im going to do with my life

and i decided that i am going to join the army.... blah blah blah

anyway me and dad figured it out that i could get a car that had a max cost of around 20,000 dollars

ill have it on my p's

i will drive it from sydney to QLD about 5 times a year so has to be a bit comfy

but i want it to have some balls

cheers guys

ben

u want something that will do long drives, comfortably....falcons and commodores are ideal for that. skylines etc will be revving at 3000+RPM the whole way, where as the falcons and commodores will be under 2000RPM at 100km and a bit over....

they're also not performance cars, but have decent power for base model family cars....and will be cheaper to maintain and fix if anything goes wrong

Or.....you could buy a Stagea! :blink:

But seriously.....We used to have a Supercharged Statesman.....I would definatly recommend one of those to you. Very reliable and also cheap to run, had a fair bit of up and go in it......But very very comfy, and very pimlishous :P

my cousin has a VX..not sure of the exact model, it might be lumina, but its a supercharged V6...and its definitely got some kick....

have you driven a base model BA or VX, VZ etc.....they got a fair bit of kick for base model family cars

Wow! Thats a manual! :blink: Kinda makes me wanna buy it.....but yeah, Stageas have a ton of room and heaps of potential (mechanical wise) They handle very well....and there is plenty of spare parts. RB25DET, so no probs with engine parts :P

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
