As title says. Did anyone get any good presents for their baby, Aka. Stagea for chrismas?

I didn't get anything but I did make a pact with myself befor chrissy that I wouldn't buy anything for the car till after chrissy. So now as a result I have a nice list of toys I'll be getting very soon. Including a FMIC, some gauges, rear strut brace etc.

jaycar iebc + hand controller (still waiting for it to arrive) ~ $50 for iebc, $67 for hc, $7 for connector and $7 for postage

alpine type r 6 inch coaxials for the rear doors - $80 from a mate

and maybe a new o2 sensor for it too as i found out that the neo can use the el falcoooon sensor too and i can get one for $66 cos my mate works at supercheap :wub:

real good tidy set of r33 gtr wheels . (realistic) dream wheel . and a 4 x 50 watt rms amp so i can install alpine cda 9887 i got for birthday . car is also getting rust attended to under mirrors , well was going to . had trouble finding the rust . had to check on the here where it was supposed to be . wasnt worth worrying about

i got some cash i wouldnt mind buying Kingcrome socket and spanner set :wub: $100 each from autobarn!

well i got $$ to buy one actually..(strict instructions) :) sounds like i know where i'll be getting it from ^____^

I've bought nothing for my car, but plan on spending a little bit in the new year to get the stereo working more to my liking.

I'll also add cruise control and get the power windows working with the (already installed) alarm too. I should have done the window control straight away when I had the alarm installed... Meh, oh well.

s i said before, caus I got it early, a JJ front facing plenum. Have to wait for my shoulder to heal a bit before I tackle the fit. I hope to do a DIY, and Darrin is going to fit one too, so hopefully a good outcome will eventuate.

So are you going to get a fmic as well Hugh (or do you have one already)? I got my cooling pro stealth fmic before I thought I would be getting an RB30 so later in the year I will be getting a foward facing plenum as well as changing the fmic ($$$$).

    • 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.
