How loud are they compared to the V8's? From what I can hear through the TV they sound considerably quieter.

V8's were significantly louder, though admittedly they were at full attack mode. Biggest sign was the rb7 doing a couple laps, sound was phenomenal in comparison, could be heard from miles away.

Possible glimmer of hope - the f1 app was showing that everyone was only taking the engine to around 12000rpm.

Doesnt mean that they werent going to 15000rpm, the app could be wrong. But if it isnt we might get a bit more of a scream out of the v6's yet

Why would you take it to 15,000? That's the question. You have 5 motors to last the season. You have a limited fuel delivery. You have a turbo that can be spun up electrically for boost at any revs. You have 8 gears to keep the motor in the torque range.

Why bother with 15k, if you don't have to?

Not saying I like it, just makes sense not to rev it for the sake of it.

Lets face it,they sound shit!But its the future.Old turbo 80s cars had no rev limit or boost plus had screamer pipes.Now its all used to make electricity,which acts as a huge muffler.Really its amazing how quiet they are for an engine with an exhaust straight out of the turbo.Ive always said that the two cars that actually go through your body is F1 and topfuel,but sad to say F1 no more???Whats the answer?I dont know.Im an electrician and im very impressed with the electric power they have but,mmmmmmm,think the live atmosphere is gone.And its only gunna get worse as they develop electric power more.I suppose on TV it wont be as bad as the racing itself will be good,but im sure crowds will be down in the future as most people that arent hardcore F1 fans only go to hear that beautiful sound of a V8 at 18000rpm with open exhaust,or dare i say the V10s at 20000rpm.BMW actually revved their V10 to 21000rpm on the dyno but the limit to race was 20000rpm then.Whats the answer guys???Times change...............

All it take is one team to do it, and beat the rest. Then they'll all do it.

These guys ARE racing for sheep stations.

in the commentary theyve said that they will prob be racing at around 12-12.5k cause they wont make race distance with 15k :(

I've raced RC, nitro and electric, NiCad, NiMH, Lipo, until you experience max torque from zero rpm, its difficult to comprehend the power of electrons. I actually wouldn't mind seeing an all electric version of F1. Though I would expect the next step to be hydrogen/ electric hybrid.

Don't get me wrong, if someone offered me a Tesla, mac650, or an R35 I would be like tesla who...

I should have elaborated a bit more. I meant the super cars not the old F1's.

The old V8 F1 doing the speed comparison gave me goosebumps when it got on the noise after listening to this v6 garbage all day.

You have heard of Formula E right?

Orly?

Interesting..

Yeah, sure. But the way I look at it, the way the fuel is setup, you don't need the rpm to make the speed. You could use 15,000 to stretch a gear between corners, but really, all the torque and acceleration of these motors will be based in lower rpm. I suspect that's why they got an extra cog. We only got use to stratospheric rpm because of the NA motors.

I have the answer.

Too many cars sitting in sheds. Make a category for ex f1 cars, that gentleman drivers can come and complete in. De tune the engines a bit so they can last 1/2 a season or whatever. Give them a control tyre, and replace the porsche cup with them!!! Year catagories to keep a bit of parity.

That's alright, that's what I was referring to as well! The supercar's sounded brilliant compared to the muted burps & farts from the f1's, the rb7 was on another level again. So in summery, sad panda.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
