Ahh bob, it’s always good to see others revelling in cynicism too :P

Veyron scores a big meh I think.

The Calloway Sledgehammer Aero of the late 80’s had 1000bhp & a 410km top speed. And it’s basically a modified Corvette right down to Gen II pushrod V8.

Give me a Koenigsegg CCR!

Standing ¼ in 9sec – 395km/h top speed – 4.7L V8

And according to those bastards lucky enough to drive one, it handles amazingly too.

.

I like the CCR for what it is, which is really one of those top speed supercars.

if i had to pick a current supercar it would probably go in this order or preference:

1.ferrari enzo (although maybe a gt, it would be a hard decision :P )

2.porsche carrera gt

3.pagani zonda

4.ferrari f360 challenge stradale (hardcore :P )

5.porsche gt2

i would prefer a drivers car rather than an outright top speed car, although i see the attraction... CCR would be my top speed car of choice.. apparently it drives like crap untill you arre going at least about 80MPH (which makes sense)

And how are you so confident it will 'NEVER' be sold ever, thats a pretty big statement unless you work for bugatti.

I'd say I am taking a side of the fence opposite to yours on this one. I'd take your money on a bet that VW has more sense than to piss millions up the wall when their shareholders aren't real happy about the situation. To release the car under the 'Veyron' badge now would just ask for a share price drop. As an investor I'd be rather concerned that one of the new 'mega rich' owners might have an accident and his army of lawyers would have little problems bringing a massive law suit against the company not to mention the bad press if the Veyron actually killed a well known rich bastard.

Take the engine out. Put it in something not made by Bugatti.

We put the 'BUG' in BUG-atti.

well that sucks then  :confused: 

but it is still coming out yes? that means we wont truely know what its capable till then. Surely something with a 8.8 1/4 (unconfirmed) and 400km/h ability straight off the floor is nothing to scoff at.

i didnt even know anything about bugatti until i stumbled onto this, so sorry for those who already know, i just though it mite be a valuable learning discussion talking about some of the technology in this car.

i like any company who sits down and says 'right, lets design the fastest, most powerful car in the world' even if it takes them along time to do it

cerbera: So your saying this car hasnt taken engine/mechanical technology to another level? :D

What other car has everything this car has? yeh bmw might have a similar transmission, and VW mite have made a similar engine, but thats 1/100th of the feat bugatti will achieve if they finish this car properly.

How can a 2tun car do 8.8seconds on street tyres ?

what a load of shit.

thanks for the contribution mate :bonk: , its says unconfirmed, but with 4wd, 1000hp and 7 gears do u really doubt it that much?

And where does it say 2 tonn, alot of the body is compisites

yeh Koenigsegg ccr is already a well in use supercar, good to see even with a small market that other companies can design such crazy cars though

Does anyone know exacly how the 4 turbos operate IE sequential etc? Im assuming they are either paired or seperately activated depending on rpm? Are all 4 the same size?

obviously choosing 4 turbos sounds a little silly and over complex, so they must have had their reasons. Each is paired together, so that would mean 2 would start early in the rpm and the other 2 join in later? Or all 4 at the same time? :eek:

they look like garret t28s

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
