Man you are a genuine tool. Good on ya.

If the gtrs complete you I think you will find it is you with the inferiority complex.

anyway, you have a lot to learn about everything so I'll leave you be to figure out some important life lessons. Rethink choices, contemplate naval etc.

No need to reply. Just as per every other completely nonsensical arguing you have put forward it gets you, and everyone else, no where.

peace out. Go drive a gtr slowly around the place enjoying all that awd has to offer.

Alright mate. Good on ya.

I’m praying to the skyline gods that the build/mod thread for this car is nowhere near as controversial as this introduction ???

Bored people who over paid for their $40k coupes :P 

I miss my R32 GTS-t, was loads of fun to drive around, even in traffic and crappy roads. Completely standard, sunroof, easy on fuel, lightweight (chuckable). Shame my dad wrapped it around a pole, now I have a GT-R that's too harsh to drive around on the roads all the time (I started modding it for track work), oh well.

Your car looks good. I'd personally go the Type M front bumper as I think the fog lights in it look better than the tacked on GT-R bumper ones.

Yeah yeah I see what you mean with the front bumper- 2 options I’m considering. Still undecided ?‍♂️ 

1- gtr bumper and getting new mesh and remove lights

2- going to type m with standard spot lamps

I can agree with the statement. I miss my old GTS-t also. I hardly drive my GTR now.

Yes and no.  Or, more correctly, no and yes.  Guards have nothing to do with bonnet and grille fitting.  GTR grille does only mount off of GTR headlights.

I have GTR bonnet, grille, headlights & bumper on my car, with GTSt guards.  The proper GTR bumper is slightly too wide/wrong shape to be squeezed onto GTSt guards, but it does fit.  There are repro GTR bumpers made to suit GTSts without that extra little bit of width.

It's possible that there are probably imitation/fake GTR grilles available somewhere that can mount onto a GTSt front end without having to have the right headlights, but I've never looked into it.  I say this because of the existence of GTR style bumpers to go on GTSts....there would need to be a way to fit the grille without having to have the headlights too.

Having said all that, in this day and age of 3D printers and Sikaflex, it should actually be possible to come up with something to stick onto GTSt headlights that would provide the GTR grille mounts.

    • 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.
