For those who may find this interesting, here is a copy of a post I made in the Skyline Specific section covering ADM's.

Hi Guys,

Here are a few more direct comparisons. I was at Sydney Dragway today and a mate of mine with an ADM parked next to my JDM. I was going to do this comparison with my ADM but having his car there I thought I'd post up a pic or two.

As previously posted, you can see the rear tail light configuration is different.

The ADM gets vinyl sun visors as opposed to the JDM which gets velour covered ones.

Skyline badge on the bonnet vs Nissan badge.

The ADM gets factory fitted 300ZX side blinkers, JDM gets generic Bosch or Mitsubishi blinkers.

ADM gets High/Low dimmer switch, JDM gets fog light switch.

As also stated before, ADM gets Blaupunct/Bosch Auto Flex centre roof aerial.

There are many more changes that I'll document one I guess a chance.

Cheers,

Bob.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post a bit of an update with some pics.......

The trim and bodywork is pretty much completed all bar a bit of touch up stuff.

I'd say we are 95% of the way there but there are always things that could be improved.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ey mate I know your after a 32 but just to let you know there is a stock midnight purple r33 v-spec listed yesterday for $16,300. I recognized it and remembered it was listed not so long ago for $19000 in Newcastle. Which I messaged him and confirmed. So it's a bargain but just be cautious.. Too soon to be reselling but definately worth a look!!! Cheap cheap.

Looks very clean in those pics inside & outside, shame on the bubble in the dash other than that it looks very neat & tidy.

You've done a great job.

LOL........ Replacement NON BUBBLE dash going in tomorrow afternoon.........

Bob. :yes: :yes: :yes:

I guess you've just about achieved what you wanted with this car, great job Bob.

Nearly........

I'm just looking at a few fabric dying options as the front seats are still not quite in a condition that I want and then a decent security system and THAT'S IT!

Went and saw Daniel at Carbon Car Systems at Blacktown on Saturday and settled on a premium Viper system.

June 30 was always going to be my deadline........ I must admit I'm so sick of forking out money every month restoring this poor thing. The budget is blown and what I've done in 4 months most people would do in 2 years so it is rather stressful.........

    • 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.
