Well I've been pestering this old guy to buy his Datto 1600 for about 5 years now, and it looks like his finally ready to sell up...

I'm only 21 - $27k is a decent house deposit.

Thats just my way of thinking at the moment anyway. Things could change though! :lol:

jasevr4 - Im 19.... :)

stasis - i will buy when I am ready, at the moment it is more important for me invest money in myself and setup my business well and true. I have big goal and these big goals will pay off very big time.

good on you

just remember every single car from japan seems to have the mystery 70 000km on the clock and thats r32's and all, so id say more like 150k for them ones, and so one with 135 000km would be alot more i'd imagine unless this is actually genuine km's which i wouldnt put money on :)

no im not having a go at jspec or anything im just warning people the km's mean bugger all as u cant trust them anyway. my stagea had 120 000km on it when i bought it and its absolutely spotless while ive seen r32's that a absolute shitheaps with 60 000km. just the risk u gotta take i suppose :)

personally i wouldnt touch a rb26 with a 10 foot pole unless it was a fresh one as alex has said. dont expect to run 450hp and it last for years like some people want u to beleive. 9 out of 10 die going by people on these forums, they are high revving engines and bearings/rings/ringlands etc dont last when high revving all day like in a rb25 with lower rpm limit. plus im sure almost all rb26s have been flogged around as people wouldnt buy them otherwise.

thats my useless 2c worth

agreed... never go by mileage... i dunno, i've noticed int he stag community that the 100,000km mark seems to be a holy grail... a lot of people look at a car, think its a bargain, and suddenly change their minds when they see the mileage. Surely major service on a stag at 100,000km is the same as on a skyline? What's putting people off?

Useless? I wouldve paid at LEAST 15c for that bad boy. that quote makes PERFECT sense. GTRs and Autechs are the sort of car you'd only buy if you really want a performer. if you are just going to cruise around, buy something with a 25. If you want a quick car that responds well to a heavy foot, youd get a car with teh 26.

You may find a car in decent nic, maybe even low kms (maybe even GENUINE low kms) but id say they would be a much rougher and harder driven amount of kms than youd find in a 25det stagea. they are a family car over there, whereas the guys that buy performance cars in japan generally use them for just that - performance.

All in all i think that if we buy through Jspecs normally they will tell you wheter theres a need to ask an independant mech to inspect the car. I was abit scared at first when i bought the car before i actually see the car with my onw eyes. But it was good.

im with qikstagea when you buy 260rss dont expect that the previous owner to treat it like a family car. But i guess with all the floggin at stuff it is acceptable for the engine provided that you dont rev it up while the engine is cold and on time service which mine has all the records.

Its really hard oohhh the general rule is looking at the Kms. true but you dont know what type of conditions that the car was travelling at for those amount of Kms it had travelled. To be safe you can have a mech to inspect the car first to put ypu mind at ease first.

that just my opinion though i could be wrong.

Hi guy's any chance anyone remember this 260rs I think I'm the guy that bought it......cheers...James

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
