So anybody else notice Ricciardo putting is hand up for Buemi's seat. The guy was quick on the first day and getting a tad quicker. Lets hope he is giving engineers good feedback and impressing enough for Marko to rethink the STR line up.

Or, perhaps with Lotus having RBR rear ends and gearboxes then maybe Lotus can be talked into benching Trulli to give the guy race miles and perhaps share some more RBR technology

Ricciardo’s best of 1m 38.102s was seven-tenths of a second quicker than Jerome D’Ambrosio in the Renault. With dry and sunny conditions, Ricciardo was able to complete 77 laps, his quickest outstripping the pole position time set by 2010 world champion Sebastian Vettel in the same car last Saturday by over a second.

I am sure he is very good but there must be more to this than what we are seeing. What tyres are they using?

2nd quickest time was Renault and even the 3rd fastest Mercedes was quicker than Vettels pole time.

Well Ricciardo is from WA. On that basis alone he is obviously massively talented. There is a lot on hype about him over this way. Deservedly so.

Hoping they put him in a TR for next year & ditch one or other of the spankers in that team. Hence in 2011 they can get a proper driver line up at Red Bull, ie Webber & Ricciardo.

could not agree more... lol.

maybe 3 man team with webber and roy in one car and ricciardo as teh number 1 driver in the other car? roy and webs to have special head to head qualy session on saturdays to see who gets to drive on race day. in case of a tie it reverts to all in brawl...

Now THAT, I like.... but surely friend, you could have thrown in a "our giant ranga mate" or a "ginga kunte" in there somewhere?!

well he's spent a few years blasting holes through the back of indian toilet bowls. so it's only natural that he's met a few Force India bigwigs in the khazi that he can chat up between battleshits?

Ferrari will doubtless poach him to replace Massa.

oh no they wont

While Alonso is sitting there, expect massa to stay or be replaced by somebody willing to play second fiddle. Not too many drivers are prepared to play 'bitch' like the brazilians have been.

wait... maybe senna is looking for a seat

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
