I've oft wonderes about this myself.

 

but considering we are protecting gliches in other peoples software it's prob not happening.

Doubt we could bribe Microsoft to put in a vulnerability in their OS just to sell a little more Anti virus.

 

there enough bad code out there already without us having to get more.

Nothing like a bad code you already have a fix for though

Bit like Kaspersky and their ransomware decryption tools...I don't know much about 256 encryption but I thought the whole point was that it would take a supercomputer millions of years to decrypt

/tinfoil

On the topic of IT, watching YouTube today it's incredible the chipsets and systems people are replicating within minecraft...put AI into that and hello Skynet

It's substancially longer than that.

however as the hackers use the same key for all ransomware of that version.

think of it as a car key, there a near unlimited amount of key shapes that you could use, however if Nissan were to use the exact same barrel on every car...makes it easy you get any nissan key and your sorted

 

Kaspersky pay for a single fix then use that key to decrypt all the other people.

 

EDIT:

as for AES 256 bit encryption, for AES128

even with a supercomputer, it would take 1 billion billion years to crack the 128-bit AES key using brute force attack. This is more than the age of the universe (13.75 billion years).

So AES256 is pretty secure. and if you worried about that move on to ECC ciphers.

yeah its amazing what the human race can achieve with determination and hundreds of man hours

well at least it comes with the 5.2L V12....... oh wait.

 

yeah, because everyone wants to pay $75,000 for an ancient VW chassis with a subaru motor and 4 forward gears.

So the big question... would you be ok driving it around? I'd feel like I was doing it wrong somehow, like the people who see it deserve better.
I'm not a replica fan. I feel like it would be a real dampener if you found out it wasn't a real lambo.

I'm mixed when it comes to replicas.

If your building a cobra/GT40 kit car and sticking with a big ass V8 and some slightly modern suspension and brakes I'm a fan, 

A lambo with a VW frame and a 2l subie motor hell no. your Ferrari 355 thts actually a MR2 (I'm looking at you here top gear) go and EAD.

 

the big thing is however if you claim your replica is a real one..best expect to be stabbed.

Factorio hey...someone made a game out of Patrick's job?

Sandstorm is impressive until you see in game video call

I'm 50/50 on these things. They are very impressive in the skill and manpower required to literally build a virtual computer. But what it boils down to is that the above is effectively a crappy version of Skype within an operating system called minecraft. Not to detract from them, but all they are doing is a virtual version of what people did decades and decades ago in the physical world...who were / still are the real geniuses and many manpowers. I guess the amazement comes from repurposing software and hardware for alternative uses, not unlike that guy who loaded Doom up on his Apple MacBook bar.

Waaaaaait wait Mr. anti-status symbol, forget what others think of your replica haha

Respect for replicas that are well done or allow average joe to enjoy the look and feel of one

Mind boggling is when the replica cost more to build than the real thing; when DIY becomes near artwork or an exercise to see if it can be done. Always admired this 996 replica, which started life as a Calibra of all things

calibra-porsche-replika-replica-kitcar-b

front view that works, but as soon as you get a side view it's all wrong, soo long in the rear quarter that messes everything up.

 

in my books, (which I know count for nothing) a replica cannot be built on an existing car. they just never work.

 

thus the Cobra/GT40/Caterham's all work as they a purpose built chassis.

Also that 996... wow. That's a lot of effort.
I actually like the stories where a bloke (it's alway a bloke) builds his dream car replica from scratch. Especially the one where he had to demolish his basement wall to get it out. :)

So according to the NBN website it's coming to my address Jan-March this year.. wonder how I go about upgrading my current cable plan that i'm locked in for another 20 months, I guess I can change plan but would have to stick with Telstra. 

Edited by UNR33L

I'm sure it'd be fine as long as you sign another 24 month contract.

I got Telstra 3.0 cable, don't see a point in moving to nbn

Potentially found next car to buy (legit). Sell Gloria once I've achieved everything and enjoyed it, then find an F30 Leopard in Japan and go old school VIP/Yuppie build.

Apologies, sleep deprivation (thank you new child) is killing me. 

I read back through what i had written... I should not be allowed on the internet.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
