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.

    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
