The bit they had on the new Tires was interesting after a conversation i had with some Michelin big wigs last week.

When all the suppliers placed their interest Michelin pulled out when told that F1 wanted a tire that would "go off quicker" as it goes against Michelins philosophy of endurance and "economy".

There has already been some comments that the team cannot talk about the falloff due to the Pirelli being unhappy with the negative media already

Also noticed that One has Ferrari listed as "Scuderia Ferrari Malboro"

really? wow thats a bit risque!! hadnt noticed but wll look next time.

i like the idea of trashing tyres easier. makes for smoother racing. and yet the wing (which i can still see failing spectacularly) and the Kers should add the speed back into it.

Vetools time was with the wing up as much as possible and kers in use....neither of which they had last yr at this point.

woot Q1...envious of those that are there. thinking of making it our honey moon next yr. perfect timing.

Its on the 1HD timing not the BBC one, so when they had a run down of the prac sessions pre qualifying

:unsure: Heidfeld out in 1st Qualifying session!!!

agreed. that was awesome. and lucky.

Kobayashi neeeds another drive somewhere. that was a champion effort. dam that little guy can drive!(although sauber does look alot stronger this yr already)

Did you notice webs having a look @ the bottom of vetel's car when they were parking up after the last qualy?

koby was dammed impressive and it seems like someone lit a fire under sutil finally, dammed hot drive and one hell of a save, was thinking I'm about to watch sutil's death when he spun. sauber look hot this season.

torro in q3, holy shit.

what about massa baby, shit we area about to get eliminated, here's pull 2-4 seconds out of your ass with like 3/4 the lap done. that shit was insane.

vetel's time better than pole last season, Hol-ly f***.

Two things just happenend:

1. Either vettel is a finger wagging genius, or webber is jut as utterly useless as i thought

2. Vettel is going to go back to back. He may not even break a sweat to do it

And mclaren and ferrari are the wrong way around? where the hell did that come from louie!?! Nando will be dissappointed losing out by 1.4secs from pole.

So the bulls werent using kers, and apparently they arent saying why. Leading one to believe theres a potential issue

If for whatever reason they dont have this sorted by tomorrow, expect lewis and jense to absolutely mob them from the line

which would be a shame for vettel after that great performance

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
