yeah, if taking out the leader and 3 other cars from the places they deserved makes a race awesome... Perez's tyre almost took out Alonso as well. That would have been even more awesome.

Vettel and Rosberg (and probably many others we haven't heard about) had tyres with visible damage and almost at the point of failure at one of their stops.

it may have made a spectacle out of the race, but it only hurt the actual racing and had far too big an influence on who finished where.

This headline sums it up nicely: Rosberg lucks in to victory as tyre failures wreak havoc with race

As Dan said pre-race everyone thought that tyre durability was not going to be a concern for the race and it was going to be a pretty straight up fight.

How wrong they all were. It woudl have been a perfectly good race if the tyres had not blown up as Vettel on Hamo would have been a good contest and ditto Webber in the back of the top 10 trying to come back through. The DRS zone made life rather easy so didnt need tyre grenades

Too pissed at Pirelli to even bother reading the follow up news

Ruined Hamiltons home race, stopped Sergio from embarrassing his team mate again, robbed JEV for a chance to show his stuff to RBR along with dan, and gave people the opportunity for spectators to sympathize with that little weasel of a joke in the red car

Cant wait for next week, where its just as high speed as this week

Didnt anyone else see the red turtle shells and banana peels? hamilton managed to score a lightning strike on vettel. Webber stuffed up his start but lucked out and drew the flying bomb... Tyre shenanigans aside it made for an exciting race with shit head not coming first for once..

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
