Yeah despite all the crap Massa cops with his poor wet weather showings, to copping a stray spring in the head, he is still driving the Ferrari so perhaps Nando's move is water off a ducks back. Although a team implosion has just shortened with the bookies.

There is no fascination here with JB missus just the thought that he knows his life is never going to get better so he will doing his bit for debauchery while the going is good.

pretty boring race. I was spewing as I had $10 on rosberg to win as he was paying 30:1. I couldn't believe it when he fell arse backward into the lead. what was everyone thinking going in so early for inters? haven't they learnt by not not to do that unless it's pissing down?

anyway, I missed my $300 on rosberg BUT I had some cash on button too and he was paying 15:1 so it all worked out ok. I couldn't believe he was at such long odds either considering he's been going well lately and had qualified ahead of hamilton. bloody vettel was 1.85:1 which was a waste of a bet so no surprise I didn't put any coin on him. webber was a bit better and I foolishly did put a few quid on him, but with button paying off I was still well in front for the weekend. the gambling is the only thing that livens up the races these days...

maybe I was just dirty cause webber and co made such a woeful tyre choice so early in the race and then spent the rest of the afternoon farking it up further. the pit stop fk-ups at redbull were diabolical.

there was lots of action I'll give you that. dunno why though I just wasn't feeling it. though I was smiling when rosberg was looking good for a win. shame he couldn't keep it on the track during that rain. if he'd been able to struggle through that he would have been hard to beat I think.

btw did anyone else get the 'crossed line' on the ITV coverage on ONE HD? it was hilarious. the bloke was talking to someone about what the commentators had been saying, and speculating about penalties etc. I have NFI how that happend?

I too couldn't believe the two ferrari's racing each other in the pit entry! that was pretty hardcore. still I guess no one wants to be the sucker queued up behind their team mate waiting for a tyre change. it was a pretty ballsy move though.

So how does everyone feel about Schumacher's return?

He's performances haven't been stellar and his team mate Rosberg is totally killing him at the moment.

Are the reflexes, drive and passion gone?

Is he taking a while to get back into the swing?

Does the car not suit his driving style?

Or is he just having bad luck?

I thought it funny that people were expecting Rosberg to be playing 2nd fiddle to Schumacher in the MercGP team. Seems the shoe is on the other foot?

    • 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).
