someone gets a nose in front on the outside under brakes and you say the corner is lost??? Its the guy on the inside that has the corner mate. The guy on the outside needs to concede, or try and hang tough on the outside and hope the other bloke doesn't muscle him out. But a guy like Alonso isn't going to give you room to pass him on the outside of a corner. Get real.

If Alonso couldn't make it around the corner at that speed how was Weber ever going to do it on the outside at the same speed? It was never going to happen. Its a daft corner with that ripple strip in the middle of the road, but if that's going to be considered the edge of the track, you can't use ground outside the confines of the track to your advantage - ie to overtake someone. Ask Hamilton.

yes ask hamilton, i've seen him do it and get away with it. and i've seen him do it and get penalised. both cases were a bit different to webbers though, he was just run off the road by alonso who out braked himself. if there was grass there and webber had still managed to pass him they probably would have let it stick. the fact that they BOTH went over the ripple strip and 'off the track" in my mind makes it even. pass should have stood.

if alonso outbraked himself and Weber was a nose in front, didn't Weber outbrake himself too?

Alonso tried to stay on the track at least. Weber seemed to decide early on it was better for him to get back on the power and run really wide.

Man some of you Webber lovers just can't get past the fact that rules are rules. Niko also broke the rules and had to pay a penalty!

It was a 50:50 call with Webber in my eyes. I was disappointed but i can see why he got the penalty. The only think i ask for is consistancy...how is Kimi driving wide at La Source and KERSing around the outside of everybody is legal! Yet when going wheel to wheel with a car into a braking zone if the car on the inside uses all the track on exit and you run wide to stop a clash then you get penalised....?

that corner would have been so much ballsier and more interesting without that munted ripple strip placed right where you'd normally let the car run out towards the wall.

too much speed off the apex for the regulators to be happy with otherwise, i guess(?)

Ahhh no, its pretty hard to take a corner when there is another car there no?? The position was lost because there's a right hand turn after that corner and webber would've been on the inside for that corner.

    • 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.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
