WooHoo! Another Mclarens win! :)

Gotta feel for Jordan though, I reckon it would've made little difference if they won and they need it. Hehe.. and the car was on fire afterwards, must've been pissed off about the results.

As much as I'd love to see Mark Webber get maxium points from every GP, I hate this 2 lap countback rule, honestly, a car which has caused a reg flag accident and can't be driven shouldn't be awarded points in my humble opinon.

Well, if he had started his 56th lap, there is no question that the countback is to lap 54..and he wins.

I've finished a number of races under red flag, and it always shits me that I didn't get to make that one last move on the car in front....and red flag rules (at least in Aus) are implemented so poorly, no-one ever knows if it will be declared at previous lap, restart on current lap, restart race etc etc. One time at Oran Park last year we waited 20 min while the stewards stuffed around deciding what to do - we could have done the whole race again in that time!

Red flag is a bad, bad feeling...but i personally find the green with a yellow chevron worse...

Nothing like getting a perfect start and seeing that MF flag a few flag points down the track.....Or the red and white chequed

:confused: green & yellow?

red flags shit me coz drivers know they can take advantage of it.

one example from last season. Pole sitter gets bad start, so makes overly aggresive move down the inside of 3rd & 4th into turn 2 at Oran Park. Smacks into 3rd place car, both spin, they end up nose to nose in the middle of the track. 2nd place starter is miles ahead due to the accident.

Both kill engines and say they can't move. Since track is blocked, race is red flagged. Since it is first lap, there is a full restart, including dcikhead being back in pole to try again.

In AKA Sprint Karts, if the start has deemed to be unfair or someone has jumped it they put out a green flag with yellow chevrons to indicate to slow down and reform on the track in your starting postions (karts have a rolling start.)

I think your pole sitter might be watching too much F1..LOL...

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
