I'm on 14 with TPG... they probably just don't like black folk

Yeah if they stopped downloading pictures of fried chicken, watermelon and "booty", they'd have faster internet.

/overtracism

had a car (Stock falcon BA) driving behind me yesterday and it had an intercooler PAINTED ON to look like that VL style with only the bottom half sticking out... was complete with mesh and all!

complete with electronic BOV noise.

speaking of driving, some dude in a S15 cut me off and was driving like a tard yesterday. Had unburnt fuel bellowing out from his 5" muffler even at idle. Guess who's getting EPA'd? suck a fat one. Good thing he had a personalised number plate too, would have forgotten it otherwise

just watched the webber/vettel vid with the team radio overlay...

save your tyres guys

remember sebastian, 13 laps to go

sebastian, no.

sebastian, no.

sebastian, no.

sebastian this is silly

.......aaaaaaand so on...

still wanna say it's not different dezz? :P

Team orders are team orders so yes. RBR wanted to influence the race result just as Ferrari did.

Mark doesn't seem to mind ignoring team orders to hold station when he's the one in a position to gain a place either.

Q: (Adam Hay-Nicholls – Metro)

Mark, Christian Horner has said that you should be fine with the team orders at the end and if you and Seb had raced until the end you would both have ended up in the fence. Do you agree with that? Was it the right call? Does this mean realistically that you are out of this championship?

Mark Webber:

I am not fine with it. No. That's the answer to that. If Fernando retires on the last lap we are battling for the victory so I was fine until the end. Of course I ignored the team as I want to try and get another place. Seb was doing his best and I was doing my best. I don't want to crash with anyone, but that was it. I tried to do my best with the amount of conversation I had. One-way conversation obviously as I wasn't talking too much back. There was a lot of traffic coming to me, but I was still trying to do my best to pass the guy in front.

And all of a sudden it's not 'un-Australian' to be given a win?

Don't believe for a second that when Vettel decided to challenge him, that Webber's engine was still turned down. Vettel may have instigated it, but they both raced, and Vettel came out on top, just like he more than likely would have if there was no order to hold in the first place.

There's a reason he's a 3 time WDC, all in the same car as Webber at the same time. I hate the cock more than most, but he's a better driver than Webber.

I have no idea what that is in reference to.... (dont follow F1)

but if webber did the same then I disagree with him too... i give no farks for webber, or any driver

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
