Brand new Tein street flex damper kit - cant wait to put them on the car as my current coilovers are over 11 years old and fcuked

These Teins will do for now until I get further funds for them Bilstiens

Last but not least, I also received this

Venom 100 cell Cat with 5' body with 3' flange because..................well because the car will benefit from it and I will reveal more in due course

thats it for now folks but stay tuned for more updates very soon :)

the passion

the thing I like about your resto/build is not settling. There is always something that needs fixing or bettering

if your like me you stand in front of your 32 and think that's not quite right I'll fix it. Or it would be better with .....

Sometimes just the little imperfections like the rear wing replacement rubber and rust proofing. I've done that but I'm sure a lot just let it go

the passion to make it the best you can and improving things over time (money and time permitting)

then going back over and making it even better still. Even with Robbies build (an ultimate one) he's still making it better

it never really ends and that's a good thing.

The things may get smaller and sometimes cheaper but even keeping it maintained is never ending

I don't ever think I'll park mine and think - That's it ! ..........I'm certain most with the passion would agree

To ever sell would be the worst due to the investment on all levels.

Kids leave (and sometimes a wife) but the GTR......NEVER........lulz

spot on mate.

Thats me in nutshell and the passion I have for this car is really more like a love affair (ha! so gonna say this to my beautiful wife now lol)

I'm very much a perfectionist and although I have an eye for detail I never intended to make my car just a show pony.

I always wanted to build the car with track work in mind but to also retain its drive ability but also have some looks to go with it

Building the GTR has always been a dream for me and to finally have the opportunity to realise this has been amazing

What is equally satisfying is sharing it with other enthusiasts like you and so many others

I have learned a lot already and keen to learn even more.

As research and technology improves I think there will always be something improve or to do with such cars.

As long as I have the spark and passion for this I will continue this project for as long a possible

Well said S!n. So true.

Good choice on the suspension Ants :D Cant wait to see whats next.

Oh Ants just a heads up. I have the same POD filters as you and you can get the filter element in blue. Makes it look heaps better. I think i got mine from nengun.

sweet. I've been looking for replacement ones too

Will take a look see

Nice job Ants. This build just keeps getting better :)

I noticed that you've got the Tomei Ti sustem on your car. How do you rate it? Do you think it's too loud? I was thinking of getting one for my car but I didn't want something that is too noisey.

Cheers

thanks mate.

The tomei Ti is sweet and yes its certainly louder than my old mandrel bent 3'in system but I like the noise.

It can be however, very drony after a long drive around the mountains lol

    • 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.
