Black R32 with red plated and first three letters of: RED this afternoon about 1pm heading from woden to Civic I don't know the name of the road. I pulled alongside you but your tint was so damn dark I couldn't see a thing inside.

Anyone know who this guy is?

If you mean R33 not R32 then it was probably me - were you in the black 350Z? I was wondering at the time whether it was someone off the boards. Next time I won't be so rude (was on the phone this time)...give me a wave or something. Yeah, the tint is dark innit...

nice black R32..number plate started with W... at Carlovers Tugg this arvo, waiting to use the bay I was in :)

sorry i took so long, had only just put my money in when you turned up, and she hadn't been washed for a few months :D

burgundy R32 GTST with DRIFTO plates crossing commonwealth ave bridge about 8:15am

Got me!

Don't you just love that big long left coming onto the bridge. Gotta watch those buses though!!!

Taking the GF to work each morning is not a chore.

Spotted a few times in QBN a smick 32 with black vented bonnet, big wing, big gold volks, very nice.

Also spotted a bargain at the QBN Scotts Big Boys Toys, White 33 GTS that use to be owned by a local guy. Well respected car with nice mods about 18k.

crap, just noticed the typo... meant R33

Yeah the 350Z was me :D

If I had of waved would you have even seen it? I have a mild tint but yours would have to be one of the darkest I have ever seen.

Yeah, it's not too bad to see out of, of course, nighttime can be a little interesting trying to use the side mirrors. Was on the car when I got it, considering getting it removed and replaced with something not quite so dark.

Thats Goran's car...very tidy R32 GTR!

Always spotted at the Centrelink carpark in Tuggeranong - A jet black R34 GTT with massive wing, lowered to the absolute max! - Its for sale too - Nice car!

Spotted yesterday in Chifley parked near my mates house, a very clean White R33 GTST with a full GTR bodykit - We we're in the other white R33 that pulled up slowly alongside looked like we cased the joint. Sorry if u are on these boards didn't mean to scare ya, just havin a squizz!

    • 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.
