Picked up the car today, I can't believe how good the car feels with 300+ kw, it's now feeling like a skyline should :D am still on low boost and up to E49 fuel, so 325rwkw roughly I think... NO traction in first few gears but it's SO nice to drive.... Boys have done an amazing job!!

Can't wait to try high boost 4 the lolz :D

Will post a dyno sheet later... For now I'll be enjoying learning the new found power...

Massive smiles though :yes:

you want lolz.. drive it in the wet..... :yes:

then when your doing 100 on the freeway just squeeze the throttle a little ;)

Yeah I'm a bit worried about that... It comes onto boost so strong, it's just gate and wheelspin if you plant it... :)

seriously............who cares :D

but most of the time on the street your off boost anyway so dont really use alot more fuel than normal...

get into it hard and it will start using juice pretty quick of course

this, it's not for economy!haha

Just a quick question, what sort of fuel consumption are you guys getting with 300+ atw?

How do you intend to drive? Economicaly or not?

With 370rwkw I could get 450km/s to a tank in my GTS-R (and the tanker GTR i managed over 600kms on a fwy with 330rwkw).

Also managed 200km/s to a tank regularly in the GTS-R and GTR.

So as usual - it's all in your right foot, and the tune. Either way if you are worried about economy, buy a Prius

hahaha fuel economy questions make me lol :)

I rented an SRT-10 Dodge Viper in Vegas this year and chewed through 60L of gas and only did 85miles :D Im guessing that had NOTHING to do with my driving though? hehehe.

Mine is 280-300rwkw depending on the dyno, and i still get 550 a tank if im relatively nice to it. On a flat piece of highway i have got as good as 14km/L. I thought that was absolutely fantastic! But then the flat plains run out and it all went to shit in the twisty hilly stuff for the rest of the country. AFR's in the 14.3 - 14.7 on cruise @ 100km/h, and 11.6 - 11.8 full noise. (98octane)

Hehe yeah i know. Its just entertaining for me for some reason. Small things..

I asked my dads friend what the economy was like in his Bentley Continental last year for shits, and he turned around and said "Son, i didnt spend $300K on a car to worry about how much it costs to fill the tank" LOL!

How can you people get such good fuel economy with 300ish rwkw? My daily driver R34 200rwkw ALWAYS gets 19-20L/100kms, it is seriously REALLY f*ked. My right foot is not too bad, just the ocassional squirt to 5-7k rpms in 1st, 2nd and 3rd lasting less than 10 seconds.

hahaha that's awesome

I dont see how the power level really matters. Its only the amount of time you spend with it heavily loaded that matters. With a good economy tune for normal driving, and i rate my economy tune very highly, it should be more economical than it was when it rolled out the factory door :) Or dam close to it!

    • 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.
