Awesome cruise Mona.. had a blast ....pity we didn't head up the OPH but we would just have to turn around and drive back home again!

BTW the puppy will prolly join us for every cruise from now on.. Team mascot FTW!

Great day people.. will put up my photo's soon.. managed to snap 130+ so i'll do some selective filtering..

Glad we had that truck in front of us on the old pac that gone done for speeding.. the guy must've been pissed with 30 skylines passing him!!!

Great run from the "road with trees down the side.." through to the start of old' pac - those cheatin evo's haul ass - same with the Supra.. Oh and

Got bitten on the foot by the ant.. nothing beats my mate though, in the car just after we got going again - Ant was hiding in his pants got bitten 3 times on the ass.. well worth the wait @ the stop to see him trying to kill the ant while I was driving!!

Thanks for organising Mona.. We left after old pac as we're heading up to the pub now for lunch..

Glad everyone made it home nice and safe!!.. Mintie loved the drive by.. sounded well mean..

man now i realize....i got bitten too...on my foot....DAM ants.........man it hurt but i cant see anything there.....

is ur mate ok link...lol that is soo funny

good to see u again Link

driving thru galston gorge, i was behind a red/marou r33gts and in front is Craved..

man i have to say that his ass go sideway everytime he exit a corner......dam awsome mate!!!!! i enjoy the show..

hey Slim nice ass.....on the way home...how long ago did u get that number plate??

i think we should cruise somewhere that have 3 lane freeway or highway...just love watching you guys go nut!!!! DAm everyone join in...lol

Hey man, had it for a while now, I think a year.. I couldnt really drive too 'spirited' my upper control arm bush is f**ked and it pulles the wheel to the left really bad if I brake hard

A huge thank you to Mona for organising such a great cruize. It's always a blast to catch up with the SAU guys.

You always make us Zed owners feel very welcome. :(

Awesome machines, nice people and twisty roads, what a fun way to spend a lazy Sunday.

Just a few pics from today!

One of my favourite cars today

    • 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.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
