Agreed, live timing is sex.

If Webber was able to get a few more laps in with those new tyres at the end he could have ended up on the first row.

No one was near him for the first half of the session, he did well to bank that nice lap.

oh and i didnt mention that "Fisico" looks good for a win, not that im cheering for him or anything but he kept on pumpin in the fast ones with no probs

and wat happened to Alonso???

SMWBH syndrome.

Lets hope Webber gets a podium, Williams/Cosworth combo looking ok at the moment hopefully they can keep it up.

Rosberg has certainly impressed.....so far.

what the??? Nico>>>> P3 (not bad for a newbie!!!) glad to see Alonso at P8-might get interesting if he starts to come through the pack. I'm betting Fisi doesnt last long at the front-hmmm could be an interesting race with this jumbled grid.

well the race was good for the first 20 laps, then it was a bit of a snooze fest.

it was nice to see webber not taking any crap from rosberg at turn 1. but they both got hung out to dry a bit. I dont think there was any great need for rosberg to squeeze webber so far off line as webber was always going to come up the inside, rosberg should have been more concerned with the rest of them (gonzo in particular).

shame the cossies blew, but 2 fresh engines for melbourne means i will get to hear a V8 at 21 000rpm in qualifying. :dry:

I'm glad Kimi got shunted-it will make it interesting later in the season when he tries to regain some points.

Yep fresh cossies for the boys in Melbourne-love to see the williams on P1 P2

Rookie mistake from Rosberg.He should have realised Webber was going though and just tried to stop Alonso.He ruined Webbers and his own chance to shine up front before their motors went.

Montoya wasnt that quick and hardly seen him,but Raikkenon would have been fast i think as always.But its starting to look like the Renaults are gona run away with it again.

I reckon Nico will get is arse kicked for the turn 1 move.

Far too busy trying to squeeze his teammate right to the inside, there is no excuse for allowing someone around the outside

absolutely. like i said above he was far too concerned with keeping webber behind him when he should have been thinking about a fast starting, fuel heavy renault. because had he and webber kept alonso behind i doubt alonso would have been able to pass them with the amount of fuel he was carrying. it was a dumb move by rosberg and nearly ended badly. he is so quick though and will definately keep webber on his toes.

    • 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).
