"Formula One is a great show," says Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, who has recently lost significant ground to fellow title-contending team mate Mark Webber after making two serious mistakes. "If everything goes well, you are the greatest. If you make an error, and some people simply do not understand exactly the reasons why, then you very fast become the idiot. The most important thing, therefore, is that I know the truth myself.

Yep, which one is it then?

Def no more than 650

I've heard it pretty widely circulated that mid 700's is where its at with the Merc engine probably the pick of the litter, getting up towards 800, this is however BHP I assume.

Back a few years ago I believe it was the Honda that was the pick of the v10's early on, quite high 900's being the given figure.

Ahhhh, I think we had our wired crossed. I thought you were replying to someone mentioning V8 Supercars, not V8 F1 :cool:

Ah, No worries dude :P yeah definitely no more then 650 for V8 Supercar, possibly up from the old high 500's low 600's figure due to the Ethanol they run these days.

F1's quite a bit up and down over the decades due to the FIA dicking the technical regulations every 3 or so years to artificially re zero the competitive ladder.

Change in displacements, cylinder count, number of valves per cylinder, control fuel and temperatures fixing the internal geometry of the engines etc has taken alot of the gloss from the sport for us engineering folk.

dissappointing

red bull i would say now almost certain to do both c'ships. sort of takes the fun out of the rest of the year

thanks for nothing yet again monza. worst track ever

surely something interesting must happen during the race this year.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
