as much as I'm not a McLaren fan (because of Hamilton), I hope it proves to be the fastest car early on and the other teams rush to update their broken noses to something similar.

But it sounds like it won't be possible for those broken nosed cars to fit the regs with a McLaren shape nose without a major change to the height of the chassis where the front suspension attaches, so we'll be stuck with them all season.

I guess we'll get used to it...

Please please please Jenson win the first three races on the trot for the sake of your sport!!!!

I think you'd want the complete opposite to happen. Have the McLaren right at the back and the most pig ugly car up the front. If the McLaren demolishes all then the FIA wont have any reason to change the rules to force less ugly cars. "See, they can do it with a low nose, whats your excuse?"

McLaren have been saying the car will change between the launch and Jerez. Anyone wanna bet it pulls out of the garage at Jerez with a stepped nose like everyone else? (I hope not!)

*shudder*

no way Josè

Pause the video at 3.42 for something interesting on the nose

Are you talking about this

Red Bull’s RB8 immediately caught the eye in the paddock with a large nose mounted duct. It is though to feed air from the hump on the front of the chassis forward through the nose structure and down to the front wing – similar to a system used on the Mercedes W02 in 2011. It is thought that this approach increases front downforce but little is known about it. Sauber is also thought to have a similar design for its new C31, openly admitting that they have ‘a lot of developments in this area’.

The layout is legal as it is not driver operated so does not constitute a moveable aerodynamic device.

Will be good to see you mclaren boys posts following a stepped nose mclaren unveiling

'you know what... It's really pretty good looking!'

my reply will be- "this sucks, damn these new regs to hell", if such a thing eventuates

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
