if its at 40km/h chances are its a lot of stop start driving, hence the high stress. engines love freeway driving

ahhh... interesting point..... cheers d to the e- z- z :D

why didnt i think of that?... :D

because you're not as smart as me ?

nah thats why cars that do all their k's on the highway can have high as k's and be in nice condition....the engine doesnt have to work when its cruising at 100....unless its a 1.5l and its revving off its head

first and foremost..i dont want a damn commadore...its not a suggestion i was asking for now was it wanted.i did state that i would spend up to 15 on the car...i didnt say i wasnt gon' spend more on the engine..just the car..

(i understand most spedo's are wound back,you cant do anythign to fight that)

i no i can get a r32 in damn good cond for under 15.u just gotta look.plenty of straight versions out there

thanks for the opinions on insurance.but i have that covered.i understand what is involed in owning a car.i have been quoted $1300 for full comp insurance under my own name not my mums..im 19 have had my car insured under my name since i was able to drive

all i was wanting is peoples opinions on what SKYLINE(not commadore)they thought was the best with there own opinions and dealings with them...

Hey ego, i just bought a skyline 2 weeks ago and trust me, its not a decision i will be regretting. They are MAD in every single way possible, seriously there is very little downside.

1. They're fast

2. They're VERY good looking

3. Thery're reliable (from what ive heard from many other pple. RB25 is bulletproof)

4. The fuel economy is pretty damn good for such a powerful sports car

5. Chicks love them

6. They are very do-upable. U dont have to spend relativel much to increase power

7. Bang for your buck, they are probably the best buy on the market

8. What else do u want in a car

Word of advice for u ego. Dont be too much of a tightass when buying one. Trust me u will reget it down the track if u dont spend that extra 2-3 gran and make sure u get something with everything u want. (My mate bought an auto one trying to save himself 3 gran 6 months ago, now he is SPEWING). Its is worth getting a loan and making sure u get something ur 100% happy with otherwise what is the point of buying a skyline??!!

Good luck hope this helps

Anything older than about 5 years old will have the odo wound back, because before then the rules on odo tampering were a lot softer. Even log books can be faked, so buy based on condition rather than kms. I was very happy with my 130,000kms R32 as it was in better condition than a lot of the "80,000 kms" R32s on sale at the time, with only very minor wear on the steering wheel and it was generally very clean.

If you want a cheap R32 turbo (ie under $10k) then be quick as the last of the 15 yo imports are coming through now, and after that you are looking at probably $2-3k more for the same vehicle due to compliance costs. My 1989 model left me with change from $10k registered and on the road (3rd party insurance helped there).

If $15k is your absolute budget, I would recommend the R32 as you will hopefully have some left over cash for maintenance, tyres, insurance, rego etc.

Well, pitty you don't want an auto. There is a BIG saving there esspecially a 33 4door auto. But I understand you want a real car.

It should come down to personal prefferance, what do you prefer the most? I myself prefer 32's.

Drift. you need to expect to spend money to repair and maintain it.

you should see what people think about a 32 vs 33 for drift.

I have been in 32 and 33 drift cars quite a few times. And from that I can strongly agree with the driver that they are very different cars to drift. The 32 was snappy. The 33 was much smoother.

yeah. that gave me the shits when the dude told you to just get a commondore...

sounds like he was treating you like a 12 year old...

and where on the face of the planet could you get complete comprehensive for 1200??? thats good as!

    • 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.
