I'm a little on the fence with his return. Sure, I do like the bloke, and think he is the second best driver to ever steer an F1 car (behind Senna of course :)), but I think that he should have left his career where he finished it in 2006. Although a driver of his talent will definitely be at the pointy end of the WDC title.

Hopefully the McLaren boys can hand it to him! :D

dont forget to root for one of our own as well... has everyone forgot mark already.....

Of course we haven't forgotten Mark. He has a seat next year, and hopefully is as competitive as he was this year.

Obviously if a 7 times champion returns to the sport, it's going to generate a lot of news.

Bought my ticket for next years race. Row A in the Jones stand, pretty much directly in front of the corner.

Seems us Vics may have to pay more for next years race too, as they have yet to secure a major sponsor after ING pulled out this year because of that Renault bullshit.

If i am around i will be going, only thing is after watching F1 in Malaysia last year i would seriously suggest that you save the extra few dollars book a cheap flight and go to Sepang. Viewing is awesome with a view of 1/3 of the track plus a big screen, all for $500 for the weekend. (Fri free) That was the second most expensive stand, which i think was better as the pit lance building obstructs too much of the view.

And its a good weekend away! If others are interested in going shoot me a PM

I think there is a strong chance i will be doing Sepand and Shanghai next year because work will have me in that part of the world again

I could be interested in that Bris, if you have the time to throw some rough package prices at me (tickets/accom etc)..

I shall be there in Sepang Roy! Will be heading back from the HK sevens and am hanging round KL for a few days in order to hit up the race. Should be good! What area do you suggest sitting in for the best views?

Went to the Singapore night race last year and loved it!

Bets bet is to sit at where the 15 is, but not facing the pits. You get a great view of the cars coming down hlaf way between 8 and 9 and you see them all teh way up to the turn in apex for 15. And you havea screen in front of you as well as the big position tower showing the positions all thru the field. Also great as you are in a sense in the infield so out the back of the stand you have toilets and food and drinks!

Yeah, it's bullshit. If his ban has been overturned, they should also refund McLaren's fine from 2007, as well as their constructors championship points aswell lol.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
