Maybe somewhere aswell with a big long flat background but like all dirt. its hard to explain but I'll throw this picture up of my car and show you's what I mean:

NISSAN_GTR_039.jpg

Industrial areas are sick for pictures too

What a slow POS! Weak excuse for a GTR! Drivers a fag boy too

:P

ivealways wanted to hit a few spots in town you'd prob get in trouble for.

but im sure they wont be too harsh if you dont be a tool and maybe go way early on xmas morn or something when no 1s around :P

theres a statue on north tce and kintore av you could drive up the curb on the wide walk way ramp.

left arrow where to get up, right arrow where to park, no arrow pointing to the ledge on the statue i used to grind on the way to work :)

victoria square outskirts

right arrow where to get up and left arrow the lil hill to stop on

:P we attack at dawn

infront of museum would also be good but then your going more and more longer on the foot path

camelot castle also rocks

i used to get in trouble for skating anywhere i went :P if you got someone ready to take the pic could get it done in a matter of seconds. maybe put wedding ribbons on it and you can get away with anything i hear

i also was thinking when the bathurst track is up just before the road blocks off group shot on the track. maybe chuck a few ppl behind the barrier and make it look like you there racing :P

or alternatively infront of crazy hoarse anyone?

I reversed up into Whitmore Square park... couldnt get any descent shots though - too dark. I went at night and wanted to GTFO as soon as I started snapping a few shots as some guy was walking along looking real dodgey kept looking... I noticed him went around a corner and poked his head around! I jumped into the car, locked the door and boosted the hell out of there!

:D your game Vu you know native australians live in that square

Oh thats what makes it the more fun lol I usually see them drunk there at the car left corner coming from the North end or sometimes under the big tree with the massive roots

i live down the road from that massive bent over tree in glenelg,been casing the joint for a snap for a while.good old holdfast counsil never lock gates...

will be posting up some photos shortly...

ok, Im trying to secure a aircraft hanger and plane for backdrops.. on a friday or weekend night to wet down the floor for reflections of the cars its not 100% yet but trying to confirm it.

and some other prime local spots. for daytime shots

keep the suggestions up and hope by weeks end the date can be confirmed :D

Troy

that cat photo is SOOOO wrong but funny

wtf are u for real?

can we use the runway to :D

rich mofo's houses also provide a bling bling look

post-31501-1241446607_thumb.jpg

Yes ..Dan for real..lol

but it will be limited to a max of 6 cars and 1.5hrs to shoot them in. Im trying to get a military, vintage or exotic aircraft for a backdrop by the end of may or first weeks in june(weekend or friday night). and possible access to the tarmac as well for one car at a time for ultimate BLING factor shots

dont pm me yet to secure your spot wait for confirmation first.. and no you cant burn up the runways and you must behave on the tarmac better then a "sinner in confession to the pope" or it will be the last time they let us take photos there ..lol

    • 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.
