spotted myself with a big grin due to getting my loan for a stag :) also a black 33 with black rims at the melrose drive and hindmarsh intersection around 3:15

Potentially Michael's GTR. It's unhappy at the moment lol.

Thanks - I was there but i didnt see you Drew, what were you in ??

Plus I was pissed with the australian crawl traffic *ANGRY*

Was I mouthing obscenities ?

Haha couldn't see if you were mouthing anything. I was a bit further up the road just past fed ex standing outside my shop by the black 34 gtt and white s15 counting down the minutes til I finished work. All the cool cars start driving past around that time haha

Dammit why can't I have hot friends haha. girls have all the luck. Actually just spotted Melly cruising through fyshwick. I waved but got nothin. She was too focussed on driving (probably best given the horrendous driving abilities of canberrans in the wet)

Spotted a black R32 GTR out at Fairbairn today, had the aerial so might have been an Aus delivered model

I was eyeing off from the coffee shop :D

Yeah, that was me. The daily drive is getting some work done so I decided to stretch the GTR's legs.

Oh, and yes it is an ADM :-)

Cheers,

Brad

Car looks awesome! Mine will be making an appearance soon :)

Spotted Kat rocking out to In Flames last night!!:devil:

Spotted James, Mick and Ben (and probably half of Canberra really!) all getting feral at UC!! :D

Was awesome!!!!

Just spotted a 34 crushing through Manuka

Might have been me, was it around 8am?

Also spotted a silver 33 in manuka going over the red pedestrian crossings atabout 1500, gave a wave but no love. And a 33 in Ultimates getting a clutch changed

    • 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. 
    • 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.
