Was just wondering how fast an R34 non-turbo with auto transmission is? Im not too fussed about turbos, but if the car is too slow (for my liking) without one, then I'll just have to stick with turbos.

Oh and Im referring to the coupe, the sedan is disgustingly ugly. And while I could learn to drive manual if I wanted to since Im only buying a car at the end of the year, its just one more distraction to have to put up with and I might not be the only one driving it.

And one more thing, how much space is there for rear passengers? I don't really care if they are comfortable or not, so long as they can fit without making me really uncomfortable when driving (Im 5'11").

whereabouts are you located, I have 1 in brisbane you can test drive ,2001 147kw Neo..goes well

Had a GTT for about 3 months now, and here's my comment on the rear space - USELESS!!! Unless of course you plan to just keep your shopping or pet in there, or if you have tiny Asian friends who are usually only 5 foot tall :) (I'm Asian, I'm allowed to say this :()

Nah seriously, if you are wanting to fit more than 2 into a Skyline, get the sedan!

Im in Sydney. Im sure there are plenty of places that sell Skylines here, but Im not sure how kindly they would take to someone who isn't ready to buy yet.

Well, I definitely wouldn't let any tall people in the back. And I don't think a Skyline would be as bad for rear space as some other coupes out there (like the 200SX or 300ZX for example) because it has a comparitively large wheelbase.

I guess the only way to really know is to go check one out, but Ive never done this before so I don't know if the sellers would tell me to get lost unless I was serious about buying.

If they tell you to get lost just because you want to look and potentially buy, then tell them to GET f**kED!

Which part of Sydney are you in? Close to the North? Check out www.northshoreprestige.com.au and see if you like anything from there!

bwahaha :lol: Well, I'm just under 5'8 an some of mah fellow asian friends are taller than I am.

Sometimes they hit their head on the rear windscreen when I accelerate too hard. R33 though, don't know the difference in rear seat between r34-r33

I find that my passengers who are unlucky enough to sit in the back usually hit their heads on the back pillar between the door glass and the back windscreen?

On the R34 they are just thick enough so any slight head movement is met with solid plastic :)

I'm lucky, I'm only 5'6 or so, not too bothered about the lack of space. All you tall giants, I pity you - now you see why they said there are advantages to being short? :(

Thanks for that. I live in Western Sydney, but this looks like a good place to buy from.

And yes they do have something I like. This is the sort of thing I was after:

Non turbo coupe with the flip up tv screen.

And this one looks good too:

Excellent... I saw that one at the place a few weeks after mine was delivered! The colour made me jealous :)

Good luck with the purchase.

Not that it will help much or at all :), but just say Stan recommended you to look at the cars there... even if there is no discount, they'll offer the best service to you :)

they arent that small

ive had a full car many times.. ive had ppl as tall as 6' in the back (r32 gtst and r33 gtst) and they fit fine..

both are quite spacious for coupes.. look at a supra or an fto.. no chance of even a little 5' person fitting tehre

Ok, well I got the answers I was looking for.

Autospeed has an article on the R34 but you have to register to be able to see it. The back seat can "fit" people, but not comfortably. As if they would care anyway when they are in a Skyline.

The turbo auto does mid to high 7s from 0-100kmh (with 2 people on board), so I don't have high hopes for the non turbo. So that settles it, I'll just have to get a turbo model.

Its going to be frustrating though waiting another 4 months to buy one. At least it will be worth it in the end.

I had 5 people in my r34 2 door once including me. It wasn't the worse thing in the world. The person in the rear middle seat had to duck there head otherwise they would hit the roof. And myself and the passanger next to me had to have our seats a fair ways fowards so they had some leg room.

Which made it uncomfortable driving being so close the pedals and wheel.

In other words it can be done. And when your car is full of chicks it can be quite injoyable.

    • 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.
