Why does an engine with the same stroke, same piston weight rev higher> I don't get it?

Is it simply that the total wieght on the crank is lower?

less recipricating mass from 8 cyl compared to 10cyl , less weight also with shorter crank

Thats whats got me upset, i havent ever been to f1 and really wanted to hear the v10s at 17,000rpm 300km/h plus for the first time.. but now ill never get to hear it unless they bring them back

Its just silly, they used v10s and that power level for ages, yeah some problems, but obviously over time there will be some with safety weather they are using a 1000hp v10 or a corolla engine.

And driver safety? I never heard any of the drivers complain they were getting hurt by the v10s power, if anything, the drivers are always wanting more power. They are athletes that train specifically for the forces of racing high g high horsepower cars.

Im still a fan, but a watered down fan from the v10-v8 transition thats for sure

After seeing the full warm up and rev video along with renault getting the v10 to 'rev' the we are champions song after winning last year.. i will never have anything but pure love for that engine and the V8s will have to do a hell of alot to impress me now.

20,000rpm so what, rather 18,000rpm with 2 extra cylinders

my advice is dont piss about. get down to melb GP this year. there will still be some V10s there. plus next year they may all be in something different again and you will have missed the V8 boat. it's an awesome thing to see/hear. cant wait.

Now Max Mosely is talkin bout changing engine regs again(maybe for 2008)something along the lines of engine size and number of cylinders less restricted BUT cars only get a restricted amount of fuel each race-cool so now not only will the passing and racing be shit we now have to watch a fuel conservation race where drivers are cruising round on 70% revs in a big procession just to get home. Got to hand it to old Max he knows how to make an already boring race series even worse

v8 is suck.... i want v10 power back :/

and I want David Coulthardt (grrrrrrr) to win.......... but you can't always get what you want,

Can't wait for the race- this is always the best one of the year. Shame it's not in Mebourne.

Good to see Ferrari back up the front, hopefully it will be a nice competitive season for the top teams. And hopefully Webber wins the championship :no: Lets pray that Webber is not that same as last year, good qualifying and not so good racing.

Hmmm...131.431sec lap at Bahrain-thats not that much slower than tha V10's last year-typical F1 bullshit-they change the rules again at the cost of 10's of millions of dollars-make the cars have less power, but free up the tyre rules and they are just as quick as last years times-why bother. :D

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
