...you drive past someone that has been pulled over on the freeway and the police look more interested in you going past than who there booking

happened to me on my way back from murry bridge 110 zone VROOOM hahahaha nice 3" dump hollow cat 2x4" cannons makes a nice RB hum @ 3800RPM 5th gear

hahaha, i hear this one!!. sooooo true!!. and 3" dump hollow cat, you are sooo right, not really any other way once you have the sound of that..hehe

when you start your car from the other side of the car park just to warm it up and when you get to your car everyone is lookin at it and then you unlock it, they all turn to you and say "kit?"

lol HASSELHOFF!

WHEN: you tell everyone in the car we need to take a detour for awhile to go to a BP!!

Guilty

....Or you are prepared to go to japan just to get the parts you want a bit cheaper!!!

Guilty...mmmm carbon fibre stuff

When: you compare the exhaust note pre and post cat to Lousie Armstrong and Miles Davis resepctively.

When: The teenage girl that works a maccas comes home and trys to tell me that her boss has an 11 second GT-R and you drive down there to see if there is a chance of a race at the track only to find an R32 GTST, bone stock...LOL trying to impress 14yr old girl

:wave::huh:

When your parents come to visit from out of town and hire a car

When you spend an hour washing the car just to go to the supermarket when rain is forcast for the next week

When it is more fun to wind people up at the lights that want to race you, laugh at them out loud, and then sit there for a few seconds when the lights go green and take off as slowly as you can

And when the kitchen pantry no longer contains food, but the next stage of car parts because under the stairs is too full. Food goes on the bench or in the fridge

OOPS said already-

You have a several page exel spread sheet of "to do mods" with all the prices, part numbers, suppliers etc with totals down the bottom of each section - and it adds up to a lot more than the purchase price.

and with your pay for the next 6 months already "spent" in the spreadsheet and it only gets 1/6 of the list done.

when all your school mates organise a race on a back road to see who is fastest but dont include you.. :P

hahahaha!!!! thats so simple but had me laughing..hehehe

hahaha .ohhhh nooo.. LMAO!!!! i would look for that "11sec car" for fun as well... that ones a classic!!

LMAO @ R32 stock.. not worth the fuel hey..lol.. did it at least have a gtr badge>>>????...aaahahah

^^^ hehe, thats why i never let any one drive my car... no car is the same :P .. hehe at 2nd gear, it is a quick gear.. heheh i did that my self when i first drived a r33, but i crashed in 3rd doing a clutch kick..hehe silly me..

WHEN: you teach your girl to drive your car an hour each week, as she may need to drive it home when your drunk..

happened alot.. cant let them hope right in with a heavey duty racing clutch, they might not be strong enough to push it,,hehe..

... You dream about your car being broken into and you wake up angry.

... You get asked questions every time you fill up the car.

... You are paranoid about leaving the car with your trusted mechanic

... You think it's ok to spend $120 on oil

... Your freinds introduce you to someone new and say this is my cool freind

... You know every part in the rB engine catalugue and car recite turbos by name, model and number

... You smile and go Wooo Hooo every time you get a red light.

... you think all cars should come with turbos

... your wife likes driving when you are drunk

... your left leg is stronger from the brass button clutch

... your next car is going to be a skyline

    • 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.
