Awww Poor Diddums

Hmmm, so a world champ gets pissed because his car is not up to scratch? Seems fair enough to me, a bit different to a certain pommy media darling who puts on the grumpy face when he does not come first.

Lets see:

Pole positions: 0

Wins: 0

Podiums: 0

Championship position: 4th

So, yeah, on track.

given that webber has 2 more championship points than this time last year, is only 11 points behind the leader (instead of 26 last year), is ahead of bieber and is getting slightly better starts than last year (dropping half as many spots off the line as last year), i'd say he'd be well chuffed.

Hmm, not sure. Last year he couldnt win a race (until it stopped mattering) because he couldnt deal with the tyres. This year it is because the car sucks the big one. Not sure that either makes for a happy driver.

Also, just because Bieber has been rubbish so far is good as far as it goes but doesnt help as much as you would hope.

Vettel is the yardstick now, according to popular opinion, so when mark does well against him it reflects positively I guess.

yes, and the fact that the longer that webber stays in front of vettel in the points, the more likely he is to get more favourable treatment from the team as far as strategy goes. i also wouldn't say that the car "sucks the big one". they just don't have as good of a qualifying car, and the race car isn't as much of a dominant force, but they are still a fast car.

Personally Abu Dhabi sux dog balls for a GP. You will pay big money for tickets and accom. There is no social life when in town. So many other GPs in Europe or Asia where you will have amazing fun and most likely way cheaper and also whilst there is still a championship being run

Given how cheap flights are at the moment I was looking at the Texas F1, looks like its popular as most of the hotels are fully booked for the weekend in Austin

Who's been to the singapore GP ?

Very seriously considering going over for this year, anyone got any hints or tips ?

Seems to be one of the more economical GP's to head to, my main problem is I'm time poor with work and uni.

What do people think > ?

I wish this was the case, but whilst that dog Helmut Marko is there V-tool will always get first preference to strategy and upgrades.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
