Vettel will get smoked into turn one by hamilton and his kers, he might be in with a chance if he doest make the same mistakes as last race

Not if Vettel takes the inside line early. That's what I'd be doing without KERS anyway, still might not be enough....

Fisi is so shit its now beyond any kind of reasonable counterpoint

It defies belief someone could be that much better in a Force India than a Ferrari.

Or does this just even more put Kimi's ability into perspective(?)

It means the Ferrari is crap and Kimi is doing an amazing job and not a fan boy like so many other drivers running around saying how bad the car is...people have been assuming he has simply been off in la-la land on race day when he is driving the wheels off the thing. But it seems that they will welcome the guidance of Alonso next year with regards to developing the car

From memory Kimi and Felipe had both scored a single podium each before the unfortunate accident ended Felipe's season. So I don't get your whole.... the F60 is POS (it well might be) and Kimi is so good that he's been able to find speed out of it scenario...?

I have no problem saying that Massa is a far better driver then anybody gives him credit for! I am comfortable saying that he and Kimi are able to drive a flawed car quickly, in fact i would say that Massa has been even better then Kimi at getting speed out of it whilst Kimi circulates until the thing comes into its window of performance and then is able to drive the wheels off the thing.

Badoer jumped in and we all wondered how he could be so bad. Fisi has jumped in and shown that the car is a handful and to be racing 6-10 places further up the grid means you are driving very well...i have been reading all year that Kimi isnt interested in F1, he is distracted, he isnt leading the team etc etc. I thought that was the case as i just assumed that the car was a decent enough thing with development, its a Ferrar F1 car after all. But i dont think its the case.

I am sure if Fisi had of been able to test the Ferrari before switching that it may have been a far tougher decision

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
