Hi Guys,

Basically we are in a high technology industry and have access to a guy that seems to be able to make just about anything happen - both hardware and software. He is pretty much a genious in all reality.

I was just thinking out aloud and as we finish a certain development phase for our product (non car related), we will probably have some time to explore something which is of actual great interest to us, performance car engineering etc. So what I am going to do is start thinking of possible problems or issues that arise in the course of performance cars in general as well as specifically skylines mainly GTR's being a proud owner of one! Hopefully something will pop up that we may be able to find a solution for and actually solve a problem via inventing / creating some component/part/gadget/electronic device. For example something in the ECU side e.g. data logging or self learning just off the top off my head without studying what is out there.

So basically, I will be looking for:

1) Any ideas for an invention related to cars?

2) Any common problems or issues that are currently not solvable within reason?

3) A possible partner commercially in a car related project if it goes that far?

4) Or even any fun gizzmo or gadget that could be created to serve a purpose in car modification whether or not for commercial resale.

We also have access to a GTR engine specialist and a workshop facility for whatever its worth.

If anyone has any input, please let me know. I have learnt the SAU community is bunch of good people and thank the forums for an immense amount of very good information etc especially from the dedicated people who make it happen and provide their time & wisdom for the benefit of others. You know who you are. So thank you SAU for this!

I will over the coming weeks begin to research and generate ideas and see if there is anything that we can actually do! Should be interesting, I hope.

If anyone wants to contact me privately, my email address is [email protected], otherwise bring on any ideas openly whether crazy or not and we will see what is possible and what is not!

Thanks.

Regards,

Aku.

hmm.. thanks for the ideas... will note them and have a bit of a look!

For the anti-stall, I guess you would have to come up with an electronically controlled slave cylinder or something along those lines, a throttle controller, and integrate it with some external PCB board that talks with the ECU to make it happen via a button or something. Would definitely need a failsafe aspect too like mentioned.....Probably possible but is it viable in terms of low build cost or is it commercial enough to outlay a higher build cost and get returns from units, i'd say no from initial thoughts.......hmmm

On the turning circle, I dont know enough about the components to comment, but I guess it would work like an exaggerated HICAS physical undercarriage design permitting!

how about creating a new all computerised instrument cluster? although it's not really 'unknown territory' it would be something great.. like digital speedo and shit.. even one where you can set max k/s to be shown (320 k/s is too much i think for street use but 180 itnt enough for other uses).. so you could change if so desired...

ps make it for the GTT :D

Flush-sh-sh-sh!

How about a co-operative to resume research on the Sarich engine which even though it has more moving parts than the Wankel piston-less engine,...

i) is greener

ii) has a massive power to weight ratio

iii) is Australian designed

iv) can be still advised by the ultra-keen Ralph and Pat Sarich (even whilst Ralph is 69 yrs of age) in W.A.

F-L-A-P! To satisfy the ladies on SAU, the toilet seat just went down...

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
