Im gonna try convince my old boy that he needs to get himself an R34 that some of his mates at work showed him the other day online.

Do you have to get legit Brembo brake pads and brand new tyres when you bring the car in intially? What sort of cash are Brembo pads worth?

Any info would be great so I can try convince him that he really needs a 34. Reckon he's only have interested cos he thinks he'll be quicker than my 32 GTR!!!!

Brake pads and or rotors dont have to be changed if they are still good ( must be better than 50% left on pads and rotors within specs ) . It must have stock pads/rotors not aftermarket , front pads about $1000 from Nissan .

The car must be all stock to comply, no aftermarket parts and no previous body damage/rust unless on bolt on panels . New stock size tyres ( 245x40x18 ) on stock gtr rims 18x9 , even if it has new tyres fitted in japan you still need new tyres !

I'm sure if you go through a workshop that know's the guys at the RTA you could get by with a couple of things, mine had a couple of little panel dings (that still haven't been fixed) and they didn't seem to have an issue.. Just put some stock tires on than take them off when finished.. Borrow some off someone..

Depends on how you want to do it.. personally i'd want everything up to spec..

R34 GTR's cannot be complied with Xenon Headlights. You need to put the non-Xenon's in. Some dodgy places will convert the Xenon to a non-Xenon light and get passed it that way but that is THE biggest waste of good Xenon lights I've ever heard of. Just put the Non-Xenon's in for compliance and then swap them back to the Xenon's after.

They cannot be complied with Xenon's because they are not self adjusting. They are only manually height adjustable. ADR's specify that Xenon or HID Headlights must be automatically height adjustable.

Wouldn't it be nice to see the Fed Government put funding into developing systems to ensure old crap heaps are removed from the road than checking to see that fundamentally 'new' cars fitted with a particular brand of brake pad, rotor and tyre!

BL01, you complied your own car? So you're a compliancer?

The law says the non compliant parts that don't meet ADR's or haven't been tested have to be disposed/destroyed. Whether it happens and if you end up with em again is totally dependant on how leniant and/or how daring the compliancer is willing to be. Some compliancers sell the parts back to you at a hugely discounted rate ($1 etc) just to be semi legal.

Its totally within the compliancers rights to tell you that you won't get your Xenon's back as they aren't ADR compliant.

when i complied my own car. I had most of the mods taken out and returned to stock. My mods are returned to me in the end.

Nobody tell me that. I saw it myself with my own eyes. Unless you got ripped by your compliance shop.

When you get your car complied , the raw usualy converts your xenons to halogens , even if the compliencer gives you back the balasts ( they should destroy them like funky said ) you cant reconvert because they use the existing globe fiting to fit a halogen globe in it . You cant take the halogen globe out and fit the xenon globe back in because the fiting is modified and the xenon globe wont fit back in .

I never got ripped off by anyone , i have a 34 gtr with xenons that comply with adr ( self leveling and washers fitted ) .

    • 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.
