SebVet found a "hack" in his chassis mid season last year. He sooked until he got a new one.

exactly. then mark took it and won monaco with it.... yeah what a hack... :unsure:

ease up on the webber. he tries his best and it must take some toughness just to be able to go out with a good attitude every race considering everything in the team is set up to favour vettel. the fact that he beats vettel something close to half the time they race tells us he's a long way from being a hack. he also smashed rosberg when they drove together and now look at what rosberg is doing to schuey.

Yes but Schumacher is an old coot, a talented driver with a difficult personality who unfortunately owes most of his titles to ross brawn, ferrari superiority and rubens' contract rather than his raw talent. I am very glad rosberg consistently beats him, and it was upsetting to see rosberg taken out and miss out on gaining some points on his team-mate.

I do agree though, it must be hard some mornings to be Webber, but he does often act very aggressively towards vettel, though I guess I would too if some punk was getting favoured and I was the unluckiest driver in f1.

but is he jawsome enough to ever snaffle a WDC?

tough call. I would like to think so, but I'm man enough to admit I may be a bit one eyed when it comes to webber. he was bloody close last year and led the WDC for more than any other driver but wasn't leading at the one point it counts. can he do that again? can't see why not, only this time It'd be nice for him to stay in front for a few more events and take the prize.

anyway, we'll see. many, many people said he would never win a race and yet he won enough last year to keep my TAB account in the black and keep himself up front for the whole season (pretty much). so sure plenty of so called pundits reckon he will never be WDC but fact is those same people said he'd never even fit in an F1 car let alone with races in them.

Well, whilst I am a Webber fan, I am still a motorsport fan and I think/hope I understand the difference between my favourite driver and the best driver. That said, I do not believe Vettel is that better then Webber and the things I am reading with regards to car problems, in particular its a damaged front wing which was not identified until after the race....well, it goes a long way to explaining his lack of pace on the weekend.

I am still a believer that he manages his car better then Vettel over a race...so if I am wrong on that count then he will be nowhere for the rest of the year

Alonso is no sap though, he's one of the best drivers on the grid.

I feel sorry for Perez, no performance advantage and the driver's earned their results, why couldn't they get a fine instead?

Meanwhile, in recent news, Ford is encouraging Nissan to take up arms against Renault, who recklessly and maliciously used the name R31 this year on their f1 car. What has the world come to.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
