The stepped nose is there to meet crash regulations

I cant remember the exact specs but all the teams noses raised at to shallow an angle to meet crash standards. Because the teams had already designed the cars, the stepped nose was the answer. Mclaren and Marussia were exempt because of the way there nose designs were, or they met the regs with a front end re-design

This was 9 months ago I dont remember properly lol

yep, they changed the rules because they feared the high noses might take a drivers head off in a crash.

All cars comply, including McLaren and Marussia. The rule change was to limit the height of the nose so that in an accident the nose cones were not going to go over the sidepod and hit drivers. Most teams lowered the noses and when they reached the area of nose where the height changed they simply put a step in it. McLaren, Marussia and HRT decided to use a countour others a step. But all cars comply

tricky little aero foils I'm noticing for the first time there

it's the little tweaks that matter :happy:

Really?

They ran them in belgium I'm pretty sure. While watching the stream for practice they had a thing about them

Nup.

Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber has been cleared by the stewards after it was alleged he impeded Timo Glock during the opening qualifying session for Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix, although he still picked up a reprimand for a separate incident.

The Aussie was exiting the pits in Q1 when it was deemed he might have held up Glock, something that could have landed the Aussie with a five-place grid penalty. However, after considering the matter, the stewards ruled that there was no case to answer.

The statement from the stewards read: “On the lap of the alleged impeding Timo Glock braked at T1 earlier than his previous best lap in that session. By the apex he was 0.105 seconds slower. At the apex of T3 where the alleged impeding occurred (where Webber was in front of Glock) Glock was 0.090 seconds slower than his previous best. Glock overtook Webber at the exit to T3 on the racing line, braking into T5 earlier than his previous best lap and was now 0.198 seconds slower. At the end of Sector 1 (i.e. after T6) Glock's delta time over his previous best was 0.380 seconds slower. Accordingly from the telemetry it is concluded there was no time lost whilst behind Webber - the time loss was before and after the alleged impeding. Therefore no impeding occurred.”

The stewards also added that 'Webber had no vision of Glock on exiting the pit lane', and 'a review of the GPS system showed Red Bull Racing did not have information that would have enabled them to warn Webber of Glock's approach'.

Meanwhile, Webber did get a reprimand, however, for twice leaving the track on his in-lap at the end of Q3 - a breach of Article 20.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

“The driver could offer no justifiable reason for deliberately leaving the track,” the stewards added.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
