Well there are alot of second generation drivers around at the moment.

Rosberg.

Senna.

Piquet.

Scheckter.

Locally:

Jones.

Johnson.

Moffat.

Plus alot more. Guess some of them must have some talent. I mean, the statistical probability means that atleast one of 'em could drive out of sight on a dark night. Surely. Ok, maybe not.

what a knuckle head. how could he say that? It's like saying if schumacher had one less leg he may not have won any titles. fact is mate, your uncle did die, and MS did win 7 world titles. get over it!

baron for president.

What an absoulte tosser...so he's basically saying that his uncle would have won the exact amount of championships that would see he and MS level on 5 each?

:thumbsup:

I think what he was saying was that Senna in a Williams in 94 & 95 would have been a much better proposition than Hill & others in the same car. To which you would have to concede he has a point.

Also, Senna would have retired after equalling some bloke called Fangio in the number of championships. Atleast according to Nigel Roebuck he would have.

Whether or not Senna would have beaten Schumacher is another issue & one not worth the argument. So nobody start anything & we will all get along fine. :thumbsup:

add brabham and brock to the above list.

you know who I like? Kubica. next Michael Schumacher I reckon.

Which Brabham - there are three of them, Geoff, Gary & David.

Also Brock (& for that matter Jones) are resapectively a step child & adopted.

I forgot to add the Davison family, although the latest generation seems to be doing quite well.

Steven Richards disproves the rule, also.

For next year I would put my house on the Finnish bloke. Don't mean Rosberg, either.

I forgot to list some bloke called Glenn Seton.

Geoff Brabham won Le Mans with Peugoet in 91 & did alot of racing in the US.

Gary Brabham won the F3000 championship in 1989.

Don't go the blood nuts, Baron. They can really angry really quickly....

They used to have an award in the Can Am series. It was for Polish drivers. It was the Polish Pole Position Pole. Unsuprisingly the trophy was a, um, pole.

By the way did anyone wathc the reply of the '78 Australian Grand Prix on ABC 2 on Sunday? The laps by Fangio in the old Merc & Brabham in the BT were just gold.

That's it. Great stuff. Later on in the fottage you can see the touring car mechanics lining the pit wall to watch. They followed it with edited highlights of the Hang Ten 400 - Moffat, Bond, Johnson in XC Falcons & Brock, Harvey, Grice, Rogers et al in A9X Toranas.

Gotta be some of the best TV going around at the moment.

just came across this little piece of trivia

Alonso completed his entire championship-winning campaign... in one car. Chassis R26-03 took to the grid in Bahrain some seven months ago and the same car crossed the finishing line in Brazil. It did not miss a single race.

... thats pretty impressive

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
