Honestly, I wasn't that bugged by 6pm Sunday about the noise. I did get used to it

However it doesnt sound like the pinnicle of motorsport. The V8's etc just sounded so unique and amazing. They really made it sound like 'these are the best engines in racing today'

I won't stop watching or following because of this though. The racing is good just a shame the noise is missing

Seriously the mazda celebrity race had more action and sounded better!

Ferrari, Lotus, Williams need to pull out of f1, Just to show dad (Bernie) who's boss. wakes up Bernie!

Bernie wants them to be loud..... I read an article about how he is doing all he can to bring some noise back into the sport not long after I posted before

The blame is with the FIA from what I can tell

They need to bring back re-fueling, stop banning/changing aero rules and fix the engine problem

yeah from what i remember bernie doesnt have anything to do with the engine changes and was concerned last year that it wouldnt sound good,

and yeah the other day he was saying something if possible something had to be done after a couple of races

they need more gate

+1

If they sounded like the turbos of the '80's I don't think that anyone would be complaining, I love listening to that era's turbo cars. Instead we have Formula Prius.

I'm sure I heard they don't use a wastegate...

Yeah there is no wastegate :(

Edited by chus13

RBR said they still had a wastegate for safety of the motor, but apparently it's not a necessity because of the energy generation motor attached to the turbine. Doesn't really matter.

Still sound like wet farts.

Get the old cars out the sheds and turn some wheels.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
