you guyz wanna pass a hat 'round for me? :)

hahaha! What's the going rate? 5 million?

It would have to be a bloody big hat hey!!!

Plus me first before anyone else! Even if it is only a bottom team, I'd love to have a fang.

Has that guard rail entered the front/back and come out the opposite end??

Correct...in the front, out the back....in a vindaloo kinda way :)

Someone did an animation of the accident which I was shown....I will try and dig it up.

So Australia is going to be the first GP of the year ....surely. Tanks and riots and shootings ie, revolution are not the right surrounds for an F1 race. Bernie wont be happy that peoples freedoms are ruining his race!

Serves him right for taking races to countries run by dictators and oppressed populations, ie the only people who can spend th emoney Bermie demands without having to answer to the wider community

dude, bernie will live forever. didn't you see the episode of southpark where cartman and kyle get aids. it was discovered that if you put like $180K into a blender and then inject that you're cured. same goes for old age, just need more money. the bernster has plenty. I've heard he is actually already like 130 years old.

and roy, very eloquently put. it's true. these dictatorships are the places were the dictators can easily burn massive coin on an F1 race without having to answer for it. it will be interesting to see how bernie feels about his recent expansion strategy if bahrain does have to be called off. korea went ahead practically at gun point. with i'm told bernie making massive threats if they did not pull it off and according to webbo they were still working on the facilities and track 48hrs before the race with the military having been drafted in to complete it (well complete is the wrong word, perhaps "get it to an acceptable point" would have been more accurate).

In a way that is sort of the point. No one really cares if there is not a race in any one country as long as there is a race somewhere. Korea or Bahrain or Malaysia or Abu Dhabi or China or the sphincter of the universe or pick any country with no motorsport heritage. Nobody cares if they miss a GP. Well ok maybe there are a few sponsors who do. Maybe.

On the other hand losing Monaco or Spa or Silverstone does upset people.

The upshot of this is Bernie can just go on extorting money from the current list of despots until they have nothing left. Then move on.

The hard bit comes when you have to drop somewhere like France or Canada or Australia because they can no longer affort the stupid sanctioning fees.

Nice work on the auto correct. I am guessing that was you Baron?

Im pretty happy with the AusGP bumped to the first race again

Bahrain is one of the worst tracks on the calander and I hope it never makes a comeback. If only there were riots and military action near Monza and Valencia we'd be golden!!

I thought i'd be more sad about this, but no, this works for me. Well done universe.

Bad as the Bahrain thing sounds to us I'm not convinced it will affect the race. It's still a few weeks away and these things can blow over quickly. Bahrain isn't Egypt, I don't think this will drag on for that long.

either that or it escalates out of control for a few yrs. and they dont bother going back.

IMO. Yas Marina blows......last race of last yr sucked ass because of it....i say get rid of it as the last race if your gonna swap and change, put it first so they can have it as the test and tune race.

yay... melbourne is first again!! this year is really working out well

lick the big one bernie, you plans just keep falling on there ass dont they? Wouldnt it be funny that after all this talk, melbourne announces they too are cancelling the race.

anyway, its good to be back!!

No it would be not very amusing at all given I have already paid for flights, accommodation and grandstand tickets :dry:

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
