I just hope renault spend their 63.5 credits or whatever it is (whatever a fking "credit" is) fixing their donkey of a motor for next season. Otherwise it'll be business as usual for Merc.

This motor situation really is BS. I just wish they ditched the electric shit, chucked a couple of turbos on em, and gave them 100kg for the race.

That's the worst idea in the world. If you ditched the electric motors and kept the fuel limit, the cars would be even slower. I'm all for kicking the ER systems, but if you left everything else the same then it would fellate mouse dick.

Also, looking forward to getting loose this time next year when Alonso wins his 3rd title. I'm calling it early.

I quite like the electronics in the car. Lets face it, Its what the future holds, and it is fairly impressive what they can do.

I wonder if Honda have got a good engine. They did test it in a modified McLaren not long ago, but didn't really pay much attention (I think it was more of a promo or gentle shakedown) so no real useful information for us folk out of it

It's interesting to read what Eric Boullier had to say about it.

Q: It has taken other engine manufacturers quite some time to get up to speed with the new power units - and even now the majority are not where they would like to be. How is the situation at Honda?

EB: These are things that I cannot answer right now. But from the development as I oversee it, I can say that we have been quite brave. Just from the numbers that I know, there is a huge potential. The commitment of Honda is absolutely huge and we have a very good preparation strategy, so we are on a good path.

After finally getting the shitbox out of the garage in the afternoon missing all the morning running, they only managed 3 installation laps - ie out and straight back into the pits. That and Boullier's comments about it sound exactly like Renault last year. IMO They're not ready - don't expect it to be any good.

You can fast forward through the spaghetti gibberish till about half way and hear the Honda noise

Sounds promising

can't tell anything from them idling around the pits. But if its louder on the track at full noise that just means wasted energy. But they only ran 5 'installation' laps over the two day test, so I guess nobody managed to catch video of them on track lol

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
