Dont bother, just watch the highlights package

Watching the Alonso spin is worth a few views for the lulz. Between him and Louie they just dont know when to say when

I'd hardly put Alonso in the same category as Hamilton. Looked like a pure racing incident to me. Button had the inside line but that is the outside line being a chicane.

He didnt really have anywhere to go short of almost stopping mid corner imo, and the stewards seem to agree

fixed that for ya. it wasn't a 'spin'. He left room for Button. Button didn't return the favour and decided to use the 2011 McLaren tactic of "if you can't pass them, punt them" and barged into his rear tyre. Good thing they engineer the McLaren front A arms to be Lewis proof...

Schumacher had Webber lined up at turn 1 on one of the restarts but didn't punt him. Lucky there wasn't a WDC resting on it.

Very un-Schumacher-esque.

It was great to see Schuey actually looking like he should be there rather than looking like Rosberg's lapdog.

No he didnt. Button was there, alonso refused to yield

He was up the inside and alonso decided to turn in and bump wheels, unfortunately for nando, he came off second best.

Full crdit to schumacher for this, which is rare for me, but if it was button v schui, i dont think the cars would have touched.

I call that leaving room (which is yeilding - he certainly did not turn in on him) and being punted in the rear tyre.

a) Thankful I woke up after my alarm at 4 instead of 2 (although I did miss the Louis show :/ )

b) F1 + cotton wool = Montreal?

c) Awesome drive by Button

d) Definitely robbed of a great battle between Schumi and Webber, for a podium, on a tricky circuit, in tricky conditions by the poorly devised DRS.

good drive from webber today. And great to see vettel throw it away

:O and :D

I call that leaving room (which is yeilding - he certainly did not turn in on him) and being punted in the rear tyre.

I call it as alonso braking far too late into a corner in a vien attemp to hold a position that he had already lost

That picture is deceiving, Fernando has gone far too deep into the corner. The replay from the mercedes rear wing shows how late he had to brake to make the corner as well as the steering angle he cranked on to make it stick.

much like louie, to stubborn to admit defeat

Alonso braked very late yes, but made the corner no problem at all, while leaving room for the other car AND putting all but a car-length on him in the process! It's Button who didn't slow enough and couldn't make the corner without running into the other car. quite often the racing line is more slippery in the wet and that probably contributed to Jenson understeering into him. I don't think he hit him intentionally, those smart arse remarks were more putting shit on Louise.

I think the drivers need to man up and race in the rain. They are the best in the world (and paid that way too), i'm pretty sure the throttle goes both ways, if you're too scared (that's you vetool) you can always pull into the pits and retire.

The dumb thing is that the track get worse when the cars arn't circulating at speed

My take on the Alonso vs Button thing is it was a racing inceident with Button most at fault. Alonso was clever with hanging around the outside knowing that if he left Button enough room on the inside that he would not be able to get far enough alongside before the left hander and he would have been able to slow them both up at the apex to the left hander and Button would have not got past.

But in being clever and trying to apply some race craft he left himself exposed to being punted. I think the fact that Button is a clean racer he thought it was a minimal risk, however in teh slick conditions that car just got away from him and he punted Alonso. Would have been great racing if Button had of managed to just slow the car up a tad more.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
