Dont do Italy! Spa isnt much better for spectating. I say do Hockenheim. I am probably doing the German GP next year...a friend suggested Abu Dhabi but not sure.

If you want to do an OS race then I strongly recommend Malaysian GP. KL is a great city to play up in with a few friends, the GP tickets are pretty cheap and you can a great view of the circuit...many, many corners. Win win...and you can do it all in a 4 day weekend :thumbsup:

Depends what you are shopping for I guess? Pay off a local taxi driver to be your driver for the trip, throw him a retainer and he will be happy to follow you around. Considering Sat-Sun is GP, and its about an 8hr flight, you will be hard pressed to do any shopping unless you get an late Monday/overnight flight home. Then I suppose you can shop Monday.

The main thing is the big Fri/Sat night with great food and beers/laughs. Go to the right part of town and the local pubs are good fun with a good mix of people. Just have to put up with the chain smokers at the pool tables :)

But is Abu Dhabi any different to Dubai? Not sure the circuit is all that good for spectating as long straights with slow corners? The V8s being there will help, and maybe if its a couples get away but not sure its the sort of city you can have too many laughs. The quad bikes in the dunes is fun though

If you're going to see a GP in person, at the very least go to somewhere where the race is decent.

If you're watching it on TV and would prefer to be pulling your dick, chances you will probably be making your way to the portaloos circa lap 5.

dubai's a little up the road from abu dhabi, abu dhabi looks more touristy (more bars and restaurants ect).

i'm not sure about the track either but it's a part of the world i have all ways wanted to see that's why i want to go there, i think between ferrari world + racing + a day in the dunes + some time to check out dubai there won't be

any days left from a week.

if i went to the italy gp i'd stay alot longer than 7 days, you'd need to drag me away from those pizzerias kicking and screaming. :starwars:

Spa has been added to the start of my Euro Trip, working my contact for a Team pass with someone

don't think i will pull off the Italian GP as well, going to be hanging around Germany for September (Octoberfest and FIA GT at Hockenheim)

Yeh, I am in Spa in March...dont think I will be back that late in the year so German GP or one of the Spanish races. Spain may not be the greatest race spectacles but as far as a destination and some fun imagine it will be pretty good. Would love to do Silverstone but fark going back to the UK :)

Spa has a few good spots to spectate but not much cover.:( So when (if) it rains make sure you have some wet weather kit. My pick of seats would be the downhill section after Bruxelles. A lot of the spectating points dont have stands so general admission tickets are an option...you just have to fight all the campers :) But if you have a pit pass you probably wont leave the start/finish area :)

Someone should start a thread for OS F1 races in case a number of people are going. I am getting a car inspected next Wednesday so may have already sorted a car for the next European summer :)

Thats what I'll be working towards :whistling:

Already sorted full factory team passes for Le Mans (not sure if i can make the race :( ) and the Hockenheim FIA GT round.

Unfortunately the Automotive group that contract my company aren't in F1 :(

All that means is I have 9 months to get a contact in a F1 team :devil:

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
