every sports betting agency now has RBR at $1.02 to take the constructors title. yay

and aren't i going to be back-pedalling like a mofo if Aussie Mark does actually clinch the drivers title...

It will be interesting to see how Ferrari fare for the last 3 races.

They are using their last engine and still have 3 races to go ....

i prognosticate we'll be seeing some scarlet cars towing voluminous clouds of bluish-white smoke along before we get through this season

So really MW must win at Korea to have a comfortable chance. Unfortunatly I can see vetool taking out the WDC and Webz retiring.

Wow. That's an impressive level of negativity. The RBRs have in fact shown extremely good reliability and Mark has proven he has the smarts to race hard without breaking his car. Yes, I know there was Valencia, but his rivals have also tripped over themselves. The difference is that Mark has been more consistent.

Mark is 14 points in front of Vetool and Alonso. What this means is that if Mark can finish second in two races, one of his rivals must win two races and score one point more than Mark in another. If Mark can win even one of the final three, he will almost have to DNF in one of the others to lose, as this will give him a 21 point lead, no matter where his rivals finish. To put it another way, if Mark wins in Korea, or either of the other two, he only needs two third places to win.

I can cut it all sorts of ways, but the truth is Mark Webber is in a very strong position. If he finishes on the podium in all three races, he will be nearly unbeatable.

Of course, a DNF changes everything, but for once Mark seems to have luck on his side.

Yeah, putting in a faster lap than Vetool ... how dare he. All must bow before the Almighty Blonde One!

I dont know how anyone in their right mind can go for Vettel, i feel like breaking his f**king finger everytime he gets somewhere he starts pointing it saying im number one. Yeh number one in dummy spits you freckle faced German flamin mongrel.

When are people gonna wake up, Vettel is not a good driver.

How can you say he is not a good driver? He has won 7-8 GPs! Dont let the fact that you dont like the guy cloud your judgement. I think at this point of their careers Mark is showing he is the more complete driver...but who knows if that will be enough for him to win this years WDC?!?!?!?!

Agreed.

Much as I loathe the little prick, I have to admit he has some talent. Give him a couple of years to develop some maturity and he might make a top notch driver.

Even over the last few races he seems to be settling down a bit, or maybe people have learnt to steer clear of him on the track.

    • 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).
