are you not contradicting yourself? the fact that a four stroke engine is being turned in excess of 20000rpm is unbelievable, how is that not the pinicle of motorsport? the absolute limit of technological engineering? giving teams this freedom doesnt mean they will all take it. Unreliabel cars dont win championships.

Can't wait to see 20,000+rpm though...

However I agree with Montezemolo, F1 is ment to be the pinnacle of technological and engineering in motorsport, the absolute limit of racing... I think this approach is killing that..

All I'm going to say is that although F1 remains cutting edge and very advanced in a technology and engineering sense... It is also rapidly becoming the pinnacle of gheyness too, with Max and Bernie and some nazi sl*ts all parading on the first ghey and formula 1 mardi gras float!

So we can only imagine what they would've been capable of had they not freezed development

I'm hoping Ferrari's new aero package works for them this weekend....

The Cosworth V8 that Williams used a couple years back pulled 20,000rpm not long after it first ran.

Mostly the engine freeze meant alot of very talented people got sacked. >_<

Speaking of engines..... Bernie is now saying that teams that want to abide by the budget caps (and it's looking more and more like all teams won't have an option) will have engine costs fall outside of the budget caps as well as what we all already knew in regards to driver salaries falling outside the confines of the budget cap.

Yeah well whatever Max & Bernie are smoking they should stop it. The engine proposals they keep coming up with get more & more strange by the week. No they are after something called a universal engine which is to be used across categories.

I have always been a fan of Bernies but I think he has finally lost it.

I want to see all the manufacturers walk out and stick with this years rules, instant multi million dollar saving right there. Have a car that runs under the same rules for 3 years, then change a simple vairable like engines, or use of data acquisition, communication to the pits or to and from the pits.

So many ways to make the racing cheaper without re-writing the rule book

Problem is Bernie and Max think F1 is about them. When they come to the realisation that it's about the sport, cars, teams and everything that is made up of those things they might actually pull their heads out of their assholes and stop trying to destroy the sport....

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
