just got back from the creek. it was a good day all in all. met a few ppl and got to see some really nice cars thrash it around the track. can't wait to get out there myself.

Oz GTR97V, sorry about your car.

good driving fangio :wink: although you'd better watch your back when Christian gets his suspension sorted cause... well... he'll still be in your rear view mirror :lol:

sorry christian, couldn't help myself. thanks for the ride home :wink:

Onarun.. yeah it was an awesome day ay!.. thanks again to paul for organising it!!.. hopefully i can get out there to more of these events.. i had a blast and it felt good to be keeping up with a gtr!..

i was rather impressed with with the way my car handled itself :).. except for the brake fading on the last session where i ran wide :).. christian knows he aint got nothing on "the man".. just call me fangio from now on :).. heheh

oz.. hope there isnt too much of a hastle fixing ure car!!..

I had a great arvo. It's great to be able to keep up with you guys now I've got some decent rubber on the thing. :)

URMINE, got an email from Bernie Ecclestone asking if I knew who was in the white 33 with the black front bar. He said one of his scouts was out there and that's just the kind of driver he's looking for to spice up F1 blah, blah. :)

I told him I couldn't remember and to p*** off and stop spamming me. It was only later I thought he must have meant your car.

Sorry if I ruined your F1 career buddy! :)

Ha! then he realised your plates were a bodily waste, and changed his mind, thinking you were a sicko... :mrgreen:

thanks everybody for yesterday it was awesome, my car handles like a dog and i need to learn its limits... my last session with Oz was my best by far and his pointers really helped!!

thanks again everybody.

hahhahah dude.. the only time ive seen u push ure car is mc carrs road near ure place!!.. stop driving like a pansy bitch then ull learn its limits :)

next time man we should swap car's for a while... id like to have a drive of the beast!..

yeah, but i know mccarrs creek road! i could lose possum bourne down there!!![/quote:50063a058e]

dude.. u know u could be right there!.. u slaughtered me on mc carrs, ive only ever had my ass whoooped like that once before.. by a certain joc on a national park run.. i think ull remember that one chrisitian!..

I have not pulled the engine out yet but because its my only car It looks like I will buy a standard second hand donk from Jap, get the GTR back on the road, then I will take my time and make a good donk from what I have now. The engine is siezed so Id say its bad, only time will tell. I will keep you all updated.

    • 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.
