I didnt say the world was against, just the bad loser wingers who follow the fkn sht house pommy based fkn loser F1 teams-fk em-FORZA FERRARI-Micheal and Kimi in a red car next year on 'their' Bridgestones will wipe the floor with everyone and especially uncle Rons pathetic silver fkn shit boxes-BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- now some one pass me the Galliano :O

Yeah, if the pommie engineering etc is so shthouse why did Ferrari have to resort to making their cars in England at one stage? GTO = Guilford Technical Office...

I think the reason people have issues with the way Ferrari goes about their "racing" is that so much of it is inherently dodgy.

BTW, if Schumacher is so bloody good why does he need to have Massa flogging around on Friday and Saturday destroying his tyres just to provide him with set up data? :)

how many teams run on bridgestone ladies? and how many of those are considered top teams?

one...

how many teams run on michelin, and how many of those are considered top teams....thats a lot more data for michelin :O

Ferrari put themselves in the position of being (Last year) the only front line team to be running on Bridgestones. That it burnt them by denying them data & hampering the Bridgestone engineers can only be regarded as poetic justice. :)

ha ha I knew if I put up a post sounding like a crazy man it would invoke some passion into this thread (it was a joke post-ctjet :) )

And to all those Shumi bashers-7 World Champoinships, maybe 8 if this year comes good-a record that will never be beaten-so all you non ferrari shmucks can go beaten your meaten

It only invokes passion because of Ferrari's consistent behaviour in putting their own short term self interest infront of the good of the sport. Occasionally is comes back & bites them in the arse - at which point a great many people smile.

Most of Schumi's World Championships had a lot more to do with the driver than the car, particularly in the early years.

Ferrari were rubbish for a LONG time before Schumacher (and his entourage - i.e Brawn, Rory Byrne etc) came along and revived some glory for Maranello and I dare say they'll eventually start heading backwards again once Schumacher, Brawn, Todt and Byrne leave or retire.

In reality, Schumacher is largely responsible for making Ferrari what it is today.

Schumacher is Ferrari at the moment and without him, well, they're not much! :)

Just my 2 cents - puts flame suit on :(

I have to profoundly disagree with you (Apart fromt he bit about Ferrari being crap, ofcourse) :(

If a brilliant talent such as Eddie Irvine can almost win the championship in a car, it speaks more of the car than the driver. I would rate Brawn & Byrne up there with the very best. Add in the biggest budget in F1, unlimited testing etc etc etc & the wonder is that they haven't won more championships.

The question has always stood: If Schumacher is so good then why does he need a #2 driver entirely subservient to his needs. Or run into everyone else when the pressure is on (Like last week, for instance).

Yep, he can drive, but he has a glass jaw (& a large one at that).

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
