Maybe worth a note - but club entries need to be in by 6th June (2.5 weeks) or they cost $200 a pop.

We need 6 or more cars (each cost $100) and a bit of a think about stand design/theme. Renting a powerpoint is $60.

Maybe some PS2s with GranTurismo and all the Skylines loaded? If we can get enough consoles & TVs - set up iLink races? Just a thought.

I can arrange AV rental :)

Also - despite the uh, badness, that happened to my car - I'm still keen to enter it (as long as we secure our area). Can't be too careful these days.

ok guys

im sorry ive been a bit distracted lately and put this off for a while

im gonna get my act together

and after the show off im really motivated to get a stand up and running for the MAS

i saw the way people looked at skylines at the show off and im sure theyd be even more impressed with what sau has to offer..

i want to call a meeting for tomorrrow night .. get everyone together who wants to have their car in the stand..

we can go over ideas and pick out cars that are worth entering

i dont wanna have the task off rejecting peoples for the stand cause basically we want eye catching cars not stock as rock

so please only enter if u know ur cars got what we need for the stand

is tomorrow to early to call a meeting???

WELL IF EVERYONE COULD CONTACT ALL THE SKYLINE OWNERS THEY KNOW WITH NICE SHOWY CARS TO ATTEND

TOMORROW NIGHT WOULD BE GREAT

THE EARLIER THE BETTER

PROBABLY SOMEWHERE HALF WAY .. SAY IN THE CITY.. OR DONCASTER PANCAKE PARLOUR .. WE COULD GET THE BACK ROOM AND THERES PLENTY OF PARKING..

Although I have plans on Sunday day&night, I guess I'll try to squeeze a couple hours out of the GF time to come to this meeting.

Lets just hope it isn't a case of standing around for a couple hours chinwagging and then nothing happening from it.....

thanks leewah .. appreciated..

im gonna try get together all the info we need to know regarding the MAS

i guess if the weather is crappy

once everyone has turned up we can find a place to sit down and have a small meeting

i need to push at this so everyone gets themselves together and gets their cars ready

so theres no last minute delays

money has to be in my june

i dunno.. far as i know nobody has enough rice to go with their lines to warrant it.. i mean there are plenty of nice ones, but nothing other than the big powered ones. get BIGPSI and things to enter, i think he is still selling his line - its a good place for it.

Here is my nominations anyway:

Steve's old PHAT32 - chase down the new owner from m**r (i think it was somebody from there that bought it) and get 'em to defect..do ur stuff mz defctor

R32pwr - the 396rwkw thing (of course, but i am sure dr_drift will be trying to pull a separate BMT stand)

BIGPSI and his beasty.

Meg's Cefiro (for something different).. although u might have to get it towed there :)

Jamez GTR

Leewahs GTR

R31nismoid and his GTS-R

Possibly Jet's 33 but as long as he ****s off the mechanic's car seat covers and that giant clock on his dash :P

Maybe DJ_lethal's R33 GTS-T ..thats pretty nice.. he's got a bit of rice..gotta get that scratch fixed, blah, blah, but if u hassle his ass he'll go in..

Vickii knows some nice ricey skylines, but i think many of them will be representing other clubs, but can always ask wether they want to front our stand.

what about a representation from the 34 brigade? - namely the ylwgtr and/or the UPI gtr?

IMO a 34 GTR would not need to be riced up at all because they are fairly rare - so a good opportunity for people to actually SEE them up close :)

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
