Alonso was given an FF for his win on the weekend.

After winning the Malaysian Grand Prix against all odds, the Scuderia Ferrari and Luca di Montezemolo in particular were so pleased they’ve given Fernando Alonso a small ‘FF’ present. Speaking

of a ‘welcome home’ gift. The Spaniard returned to Ferrari’s home base Maranello to thank the technicians and mechanics personally and di Montezemolo thought it would be nice to mark the occasion

with a gift. Ferrari has been struggling in pre-season but the result last weekend boosts the teams confidence. Despite that team principal Stefano Domenicali said that there is still plenty of work to do.

Recently the Ferrari FF by Pininfarina won the 2012 Design Award at the Geneva Motor Show. So what will Alonso get for winning the F1 championship? An F12berlinetta, or maybe Ferrari’s ultimate V12 Enzo successor?

BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson believes Red Bull are "not coping well" with not being at the front of the grid.

After sweeping all before them during the 2011 campaign, Red Bull and World Champion Sebastian Vettel have found life a lot tougher during the first two races of this year.

The team have struggled during qualifying and Vettel is yet to start on the second row of the grid, let alone the front row. Although he finished second in Australia, he didn't really challenge race winner

Jenson Button while in Malaysia he was forced to retire with a puncture when he was P4.

The German's frustrations got the better of him at Sepang as he gave the middle finger to Narain Karthikeyn after they collided. He also criticised the HRT driver after the race, saying "there are a few cucumbers on the road".

It is certainly a different experience for Vettel and the rest of the Red Bull team, and Anderson feels they are yet to come to grips with the fact that they are no longer the pacesetters.

"Red Bull are definitely not a happy camp - that's clear from speaking to management at the team, and seeing Sebastian Vettel's display of emotion after the race in Malaysia," he told BBC F1.

"It is not the first time Vettel has betrayed that emotional side to his character when things have not been going his way.

"You could even see that frustration in him in Abu Dhabi last year when he got his puncture at the start - and that was one race out of a season he had dominated.

"So if he's going to react like that then, will he spit his dummy out when two or three races go wrong?

"All the way through the team, they are clearly not coping well with no longer being at the front."

Anderson believes the Milton Keynes outfit's struggles may be down to the two major regulation changes this season.

"Exhaust-blown diffusers were banned, and load tests on front wings were stiffened up, preventing the edges of the wing dipping towards the track to improve downforce," he said.

"In the last two years, Red Bull's big benefit was in having a car on which they did not have to do much work at a race meeting. But in Malaysia, for the first time ever, I saw them changing torsion bars, roll-bars, ride heights and so on.

"They are obviously still trying to find their feet with their new car - there were not many times during the race weekend in Malaysia when they looked like the real opposition. They clearly have a lot of work to do."

    • 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.
