at least it was a stand out on the grid, something new... which is rare

this is just ugly and unimaginative... and from the side it bears a striking similarity to BMW's colour scheme

yep..i find it hard to believe that Honda dont even appear to have a single other sponsors name on their car... very confusing considering that Toyota have stacks more money and yet they have a bunch of sponsors on their car.

these photos are funny...

Rubens looks a kid standing next to Santa in this shot... go on Reubs..wet yourself, its okay!

I get grand stand tickets every year but never use them, so if anybody wants to upgrade and sit at turn one on Saturday for qualifying all day, let me know you can BORROW my ticket.

... You still need your ticket to get into the track but once you’re in you can have mine for the day

Renault have fortunately decided to keep last years winning colour scheme for this year aswell

New car does look nice tho, very sleek

I will just say that I hope Piquet Junior spanks Alonso's worthless arse.

Oh and the Williams looks quick. Sweet.

yeah... when the side pods, bridge wing, bargeboards side pod winglets and numerous other parts are 'borrowed' from last years Mclaren, they're obviously onto a winning idea

they do have a much better nose on it tho

Well if you removed the paint schemes from the cars other than the different height keels for the front suspension I reckon even the most ardent train spotters would struggle to figure out which car is which.

I like the fact that the three top teams (Mclaren, Ferrari and Renault), while always ultra competitive always seem very different in most aspects... be it suspension, side pods and especially front wings

I would say that the rest of the grid are indiscernible from one another is solely because they are a stolen mish-mash of the top three’s design concepts both aerodynamic and mechanical

    • Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍
    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.
