It will be interesting to see what happens when Ferrari get a motivated top line driver back in one of their cars. I remember how much the other Kimi upset Senna when he turned up at McLaren all those years ago. Senna had grown a bit complacent from having a second rate team mate (Andretti in this instance) & he really had to pull his finger out in the last few races before he disappeared of to Williams.

^^^^^^ yep thats what makes 2007 look exiting...I hope Kimi clicks with Ferrari and he has a huge season and maybe Massa can stick with him. Im sure this will put the wind up the sooky la la Spaniard.

I still cant see Alonso settling in as well in his new seat.

And what are Renault thinking with their 2007 driver line up????? No world champs trophies going to Renault for some time.

I just wonder what Kimi's reaction will be if and when Ferrari insist he starts doing dodgy shit a la Schumacher. Ron Dennis is painfully even handed with his drivers and painfully fair in his dealings so such things may come as a bit of a shock to Kimi.

I don't rate Massa. That he can beat Schumacher reflects badly on the German, not well on the Brazillian.

Why wouldn't Alonso settle in at McLaren? He has consistantly shown he can handle the massive pressure he has been put under (Alot better than some others). His comments on Schumacher were very exacting - great driver - not great for a number of other reasons. Hardly whinging.

Look how well Mansell got on with them. And Ferrari for that matter. And Williams. And Lotus.

Actually, back in the day Rosberg got on alright. As did Lauda. Even de Cesaris.

That it didn't work out for Montoya probably says more about Montoya than McLaren. After all he didn't really get on at Williams, either.

Let's be honest if Ron Dennis can get on with someone as difficult as Ayrton Senna, he can surely get on with Alonso.

My guess is that Mclaren and alonso will get on like a house on fire... They both take the same attitudde towards racing and both demand perfection from themselves and the team. I predict a great future for two of them.

Ron loves Alonso and im sure he'll try to provide him with best... because if he doesnt and Alonso leaves, Mclaren will have no top tier drivers to replace him

Actually, because he is such a talentless hack he only has to do it once to show that Schumacher is no longer at the top of his game.

ok...

so if schumacher wins the title this year, it'll show alonso to be a talentless hack, because he couldnt beat MS who is apparently losing his touch....

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
