dammit. i was hoping for a hamilton style smoking for senna.

i got a hundred on hamilton not even making the top 3 in the WDC this year. too much pressure, too much expectation, too many other good drivers...

good bet i reckon, he nearly threw it away for the second year running if it wasnt for Glock moving over for him. Hamilton is yet to win a championship convinceingly. tough season to come for him.

Now they can go back to doing what they do best- being an engine supplier only

Instead of running a busted-arse race team

Either that or get the Richards/Willis combo running it again... Remember when J. Button was best of the rest in 2004? I'm sure these lads know how to run a team! Barichello/Senna & Button in a Prodrive Honda.... MMmmmmm! :)

I'd say the pressure is on him more than ever.. To win the championship convincingly... Loosing position to an inferior Toro Rosso a few laps from the end isn't all that convincing... I say that he drove wonderfully most of the season, and in China he drove as he needed to, level headed, aggressive and fast without going nucking futs.. Brazil on the other hand, he was off the boil, badly.. Then there was Japan... Red mist anyone???

his best has come and gone, time to get some new guys in

ah yeah, for sure- just thought you might have harboured some specific grudge against him

just like Webber, He'll certainly never have a WDC to his name

the v8s ran last year. it was the first time in a while but they were definately there. so id say there is a good chance of seeing the R35, they did a parade last year which had the Bugatti Vayron in it, should have heard that thing.

Are V8's on the schedule for Melbourne? They weren't last year!

Will be interesting to see how Kimi goes after his WC hang over last year, testing looking good already for the red team

Rubens proved he still had it... He out drove and out scored Button this year... Doesn't sound like much of a 'has-been' performance to me....

doesn't say much for Button, does it?

who are they both driving for respectively this year?

Lol, if glock didnt stay out on the wrong tyres he wouldnt have even been there for hamilton to pass easily on the right tyres

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
