I thought you wrote yours off Anjo...

na i dunno yet man...insurence wont look at the car till they get a police report...and the police reports takn ages....just thought id get an idea of whos got a r34 and wat kind of mods they have done....plannin to get a body kit.....something different....is anyone familar with the Do Luck Kit...wat are ur thoughts?

heres a pic

No it was my old URAS front bar :wave:

Here's a shot of my 34...

Thanks _8OO5TED_ ;)

Which wheels did you see on my car? I had 4 sets of wheels... sold the Work Meister's, just sold the impul NS-GT's today... You probably saw my car with the white nismo LMGT4's.. they are my track wheels.

I've still got the gold GT-Cs :whistling:

Matt,

Have you ever thought about how much that wing is going to be bending your boot?

I've had thoughts about the way it would twist the boot backwards as there's nothing underneath the boot to support the wing.

I've seen a few race oriented road cars that had secondary aluminum supports going inside the boot down to the latch mechanism.....

Something to think about....

No probs with that so far Pete.. I know what you mean though, I've seen 200sx's with GT wings have the boot flex inward at the middle leaving a nice big dent :whistling:

When mine was installed they didnt put an aluminium backing plate on the underside of the boot lid to reinforce the mount points, but it hasn't bent on me yet.

Either im not going fast enough or the boot lid is stronger than a 200sx ;)

Some nice R34's going around. There are 2 more that i keep seeing outside century city, a yellow and a silver one - wonder if they are from SAU.

Didnt anjoO's car have different rims? (or am i mistaken)

And those 2 other black r34s with the kits - freaking sexy lookin machines!

Here's my new car :D

You didnt by any chance drive around MT Waverley last week did you? Saw a white R34, back looked very similar, going around leeds or headingly road. I was walkin my beagle :D

The Silver one at Century City is probably mine.

I was there on Saturday arvo with my son.

See attached.

Hmm, the wing on the silver one was rather massive, it was the supra style wing that we see on some R34s (saw that car at night though). I will keep an eye out for yours though.

Possibly coulda been me since i do drive around that area, but can't say that street sounds familiar ;)

That car was on sale a while ago. Did you just buy it over? or are you still selling it?

It was for sale on the forums from fr33style and i bought it about 3 weeks ago ;)

Edited by blah_blah
It was probably Ming ("SWC945")... silver with full C-west kit.. formerly "HOTR34" with a full bomex kit.

hey matt

i still have the plates - want them? C'mon.... u know u want them!!!!

unfortunately my car is very easy to distinguish at the moment - its riding at about 3cm higher than standard. looks like a stupid 4wd :wave:

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • 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.
