lol no way im spending that much money on a car and getting 3rd party

i'll see how much insurance on an S15 will be cause theres one for sale in SA at the moment that looks smick for 32 or something.

dude, i'm going to solve alllllll your problems. If you want to spend $45K, get a R33 GTR VSpec and look yourself up a company called 'Prosperion' - When i was 19 a few months ago insurance would cost me $1600 p/a. I'm 20 now, but it's still the same. Full Comp. They are more than just insurance but as long as you've got a job that isn't at ANZ (which is my prob, but i'm getting around that) you can get an f*cking car you want!!! No more of this mini madness!! I can get ur ass in an E36 M3 if ya want to!

Don't spend $45K. Get a R34 GT-T, you can get those for less than $30K now imported, like $27-28K - Cheap insurance, newish car and step to the almighty R later!!

ooh yeah, duff man!!

well the catch is that you have to finance the whole car running costs with them. They budget out what you think u'll spend for the whole year, than divide it by 12 or 52, i forget. So with some things you are paying before you normally would, say your tyre allowance, but other things like insurance, have been chopped up nicely for u so u don't have to pay in one big chunk. U get a shell petrol card with a discount, and i think can only go to shell. But in the end, throwing all ur running costs together makes it cheaper overall. www.prosperion.com.au - i've gotta give em a call again, just to double check on everything, cos it's starting to look like R34 GT-T time again, 99% sure.

oh, should have mentioned, car can't be over 8 years old. As much as i know about them, that's the catch! :P That's why i said R34 or R33 VSpec.... ooo oooo, or .............. now you can't disagree with this next one....

........

ready..

......

Series 8 RX-7!!!!!!!! Mid $30K's now, about the only good thing to come from SEVS. PURE SEX!!!!!

i reckon, if you give these guys a call, and there aren't any problems (my prob was cos i worked at ANZ) don't worry about S15's or R34's - Either go 'R' or S8 RX-7 - THE sexiest car on the road bar none! Imagine one of those lowered with 18's! :drooling: Talking, 1999 cars, or newer, and mid to high $30K's - tasty!! :P

    • 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.
