I don't think so, but I can't be sure.

Can you offer any feedback as to how good/bad/indifferent the set up is? How is the bias? How is the pedal feel? Which rotor size did you use at the front?

Well one or other of them has to lock first - usually it is the unloaded side. But if you have put used pads in then, yeah that is probably your problem.

Then you aren't trying hard enough! Check the reutrn slots for the start of the cracking.... Upgrade - I would suggest Project Mu hatted rotors imported from either Nengun or Greenline. If not use the group buy for the RDA stuff. Failing that just use something that isn't a DBA4000 - pick something else from their range.... Try getting this sort of shit past the scrutineers - "Honest it is ok - it hasn't cracked ALL the way through"

Then play him Happy Birthday on the podium like they once did to Alan Jones when they couldn't find the right anthem....

Don't be silly. Go and buy a new seatbelt. Best investment you may ever make.

Well you can't really blame Hamilton for the ITV commentary. Atleast they have STFU about Button. Anyway, good work Lewis. Not so good work whoever the spanker was from Ferrari sending drivers out on anything other than monsoon tyres.

Why would you use the 5.1? Brake Fluid..............Dry Boiling Point................Wet Boiling Point Motul RBF 600..................593°F...............................420°F Motul DOT 5.1..................509°F...............................365°F

They carry a modest premium. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t186866.html That is a nice example, buy that.

Go right ahead! Just make sure your start from first principles so everyone can enjoy it...

Excellent. Go the Williams! Oh, and nice work by Sutil & Davidson.

Things you need to consider: How many ho do you want? How many hp will the stock internal engine accept before you start having issues with durability? Re the injectors: Pick some, doesn't matter. I run 700's & it is fine. Sard are good. Re the fuel pump: Nismo make a good one. It is worth replacing he AFM's also. Cams gears as well. There is a thread on Rb26 engines in the forced induction section. Check that & see what others have done & what results they have got.

Hopefully it will be somewhat reminiscent of Hill spanking Schumacher in the wet at Suzuka all thsoe years ago. Except with a bit less water. And a different circuit. And Hamilton in place of Hill. And everyone else in place of Schumacher. Yeah, so not the same at all, really.

Unfortunately you don't get to choose. It doesn't make the question invalid, it just needs to be posed differently. Basically all you need to remember is this: If you need to exchange heat or mix gases then the more turbulent the flow the better the mixing/exchange will be (broadly). If you need to transport gas (ie flow it somewhere) the fewer restrictions & smoother the flow path the lower the pumping loss will be. Broadly that is, I don't want to get into arguments about boundary layer effects.

Well said Faid. All that is happening is that people have missed recognising that ALL of the flow in the induction system is turbulent. They are confusing a few concepts: 1: Flow restrictions which cause pumping losses which they are characterising as laminar/turbulent flow. Essentially the more changes of direction/diameter/shape etc etc the more pumping losses you will get in your induction system. This is true is turbulent flow as well as laminar flow. 2: Gas mixing & cylinder fill with laminar & turbulent flow. Clearly gas will mix better & exchange heat better the more turbulent it is. Cylinders will typically fill better the less turbulent the flow is. At the end of the day with the diameters of a rtypical induction system, the large airflow invloved & the action of the turbo charger compressor ALL engine flow will be turbulent.

Well Webber must be looking at Rosberg in the Williams & kicking himself. Keke's young bloke has come good this year. McLaren have an interest, but Williams won't budge. It will be more than interesting to see who Ron Dennis picks up if Alonso gets given the arse. If you think about the list of drivers: Massa - Maybe. Think of the Ferrari info he would bring with him. Kimi - Hmmm. Rosberg - Maybe. Wurz - No. Button - Maybe. Rubens - No. Schumacher & Trulli - No. Fisi & Kov - No & no. BMW boys - maybe.... Red Bull - Webber - maybe, Coulthard - no. Spyker, Super Aguri & Torro Rosso - No. Although Davidson occassionally shines. In all, not much choice. You'd have to say, (in no particular order) Rosberg, Massa, Button, Kubica, Heidfeld (Nah, not with Ron) & Webber. He needs experience, a good temperament & of course, speed.

Harden up Roy, & get yourself some single piston callipers with slides.

Maybe. I just wanted the one that says Nissan, not the one that says GT-R. I didn' think it was colour specific, although the GT-R badge is.

To be fair it was more so conjecture than speculation. but my point is that the organisers/Bernie bang on about how wonderful the pit facilities are & the spectator access or whatever. If you are sitting on your arse infront of the tellie on the other side of the world about all you tend to care about is how good the track is & does it promote good racing. No 130R at Mt Fuji.... Perhaps the location will give cause for people to remember the late James Hunt. Anyway, to mark the occassion if Schumacher makes it past the first session in qualifying I will think about buying a Camry or something. There, I have said something positive about Toyota. Well done me.

Well the track is rubbish according to everything I have read. Thanks Toyota. Fk it with all the bullshit that has been going on in F1 lately I think my time would be better spent sorting the sock draw.

Great. So who wants to sell me one at a reasonable price? I don't want to go near my local Nissan dealers because they are a bunch of %*^@'s.

Whether a flow is laminar or turbulent depends on the Reynolds number for the particular circumstance. So maybe start looking for that.

The part number for the Nissan badge that goes on the boot of an R32 GT-R. Car is white, if that matters. Oh, and the part number for the biggest tyre lever Nissan sell for when I find the scrote who badged my car..... Thanks in advance.
