oh, and I've just made the choice. fark watching at spa. I'd rather fang something around the 'ring instead. I may even forget going to the monza gp too and use the money for another day of ring and then just watch it in a bar in italy somewhere.

very excited about doing the ring. just need to decide what to drive?

Count forward 12 weeks from mid April, i am a free agent after that and will already be in India so only 7 hours from Germany ! I have the first two weeks of June off to go to Zolder (driving) and then have to go back to work in India after that. SO i am with you. GPs are going to suck this year unless Webber starts winning...then they are all ace. Get your ass to Europe adn we can share some Caterham, Exige and E46 CSL love at the ring, Spa and Zandfort. OH YEH!!!!!!! i love it when work changes and farks your plans for the year, but you roll with the blows and they turn out to be blessings! :P

At the end of the day i think Vettel is a better package, but it counts for nothing. If Webbar can out qualify Vettel he will beat Vettel.

No way Vettel is any better over a race distance and able to get past Webber. Webber just needs to lift his quali performances, he is as quick but he has made a few mistakes in quali on that final hot lap, be it run too early, held up or baulked.

Will be interesting if they really have the pace over Ferrari and McLaren. This being the second GP of the year i expect Webber will be on fire as he always has a shocking opening GP! :P I have faith in my boy Webz!

Saw Nando and Massa at Stokehouse restuarant on St Kilda beach last night. Nando was driving a California I think, and didn't take it easy when he pulled out of the driveway.

It was an event for Shell and Ferrari celebrating 450 races together

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
