Pretty entertaining race, albeit disappointing from a Ferrari fan point of view...Alonso had Hamilton on toast and simply f**ked it up :(

On the positive side of things, Ferrari admitted they are struggling at the moment and need to get back to Europe to find out why, so to be in contention for top 5 spots when you're struggling is a good sign..

1 Lotus Renault back on the podium :banana: and Petrov making the most of Frequent flyers!

It looked like it got air born before it hit the rain "gutter"

Very interesting race, DRS had a good effect on the cars, Tyre strategy really played in.

Great drive by Seb, whilst Hammo (the self proclaimed Senna of the modern era )at the rear end of the points

sorry I was working on the car and missed qualifying.

how much was webber beaten by, and what was this week's excuse?

3 tenths. His excuse was that a dog ate his homework.

Webber getting his excuse in pre-race start.

Ahh OK, I missed the race too.

Actually, given he had no KERS, managed to drop to 10th at the start and did an extra pit stop, I thought Weber drove well to get 4th.

He was carving them up at the end - set fastest lap time and picked up a few places for his 4th. Got oh so close to Heidfeld in the dying stages, but not quire enough (my excuse is lack of KERS - Heidfeld walked away from him in the straights)

I was expecting much worse from Webs, so was pleased with his effort.

Petrov's WRC yump was impressive, but his steering wheel coming off in his hands was scary!!

Shit go from Hamo today. That 2nd last tyre set really buggered his race royally.

At least Jenso got some good points.

Well done to Tool Boy and his magical GroundScrapah front wing.

Now straight to China biznitches!

It also looked like the DRS didn't deploy for MW on the last 2 or 3 laps despite being within 1 sec of Not Usually That Quick Nick.

Thats funny, i said the same thing to a strange looking McLaren fan about half an hour ago!

Ye it was not activated last 3 laps for sure... Pity as it might have made it a bit more interesting in the last few laps

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
