I cant believe how you are all so quick to praise Vettel and write off Webber. Have we not seen enough seasons the past 15 years to realise that its 80% car and 20% driver. Finally Webber has a good car and he is doing the job. He has shown plenty of pace in the past in shit cars. Look at Button last year. Button is no better then Webber. But give him a car advantage far above what Webber has had this year for the first half of the season and everyone is quoting the fact that he is WDC.

Vettel has not really show much superior pace over Webber this year. He sure as shit has not shown superior race craft. He is quick, and probably has the talen to win 3-4 of the last 5 rounds...but Webber has shown he is driving as good as he has been the past 3-4 years, but with pace in the car, isnt so desperate with some of his dives and race moves.

COME ON WEBBER! There is a reason why he is leading the WDC and it isnt luck. Just like in years past when Button, Hamo, Hill, Schuey etc all had a car advantage... the car wins the WDC more then the driver!

People who haven't watched the sport for a long time don't realise that being fast over a single lap isn't the be all and end all of a formula 1 drivers talents, NPK 3 times WDC no one considers him fast...

But al those ragging on Vettel, it would not surprise me if he wins 3 or 4 of the remaining GPs. He has the car, and he has the pace...it wouldnt surprise me. In fact Vettel is more likely to win 3 of the remaining GPs then Button is to win one

Going to be interesting, really think this WDC is between Hamilton, Webber, Alonso and Vettel...that is the order I think the WDC will finish....but hope Mark can prove me wrong

It looks like the cheaters wings were cheaters wings after all.

Who will kamikaze on lap 1?

Not sure how you draw that conclusion. Ferrari and RBR were both accused of running flexi-wings. Despite the new tests there was an RBR and a Ferrari ahead of the McLarens, supposedly not using flexi-wings. And Webber is only half a second off Alonso's pole time - so where do you get the idea that the 'cheaters' have lost pace?

The relative lack of pace is where I get it from. The Ferrari's pace has improved and so has McLaren but RBR doesn't appear to have compensated yet.

I don't think it was a cheaters wing, it passed scrutineering all season so as far as I am concerned it was legal but by the same token they have changed it to meet the new test and now they are relatively slower. I am disappointed as I want MW to salvage points.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
