pixel8r = pixelator.

I'm into computers, linux, programming, graphics, multimedia you name it. I thought up pixel8 years ago but found that was taken on a few other IT forums so I added the 'r' to make pixel8r.

No other significance other than the fact that pixels are the dots that computer screens are made up of - and it sounded like a cool screen name at the time. Now I use it everywhere... :)

This thread is way too good to just be in the Stag section...

My name's Rhett, like from Gone with The Wind that old movie.

And I used to, during high school, like a type of music called "straight-edge hardcore." Sort of punk music where everyone doesnt drink, eat meat or fight etc... except me coz i like those things too much (except the fighting bit).

Everyone used to draw big Xes on their hands and go to concerts, and if you were really cool you'd put Xes in front and at the end of your name.

Hence xRHETTx.

Man I was so not cool back then.

Also its my email addy at hotmail.

mine is a coombination of my nickname at work cos i am a bit of a fact keeper and a dictionary hence the "oxford" bit and the numbers are my fave 2 numbers jammed together. 13 for when i left home, and 27 when i had my first of five heart attacks and cheated death.

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
