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

    • 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. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
