I want this picture on my wall. :yes:

LOL, yeh hopefully there are a few good pics. I will be throwing soem coin at a commemorative/framed picture of it! :)

what do you mean "and again.."? Last race JEV caught Dan. Swings and roundabouts...

It's like saying "And again, whether Rosberg improved his race pace or Hamilton lost the plot".

Hard to draw meaningful conclusions from one mixed up race where they had no dry setup time in practice - Button got 4th just to prove how mixed up it all was here.

I think after 19 races....there have not been too many where they occupy the same bit of track for the whole GP with neither having problems. In Brazil Vergne had a Webebr-esque start and that was it. He dropped it on teh last lap in US when the lap before I read he had a rushed lunge at Dan only to clip the Sauber a lap later. For a good part of the start of the year, on merit he looked the equal whilst Dan was having car problems. But when they were running he looked arguably the better pic but was hard to tell with poor pace of car and reliability. I think Dan has been damn solid post announcement when he could have been excused for dreaming for the remainder of the season when JEV mayhave got his chest out with something to prove. Has not worked out that way...and my boy Romain has been the kick ass Frenchman on the grid (ok Swiss-Frenchman)

Good to read Webber pay Seb a compliment on his way out.

".... It's been a real pleasure for me to finish today's race like this. Yeah, and also to finish on the podium with arguable the two best guys of the generation we're in at the moment. I hold them in very high esteem. I'm happy with the finish and I'm happy to go and do something different now. It was a special day for myself"

Also paid him the compliment of walking past him and the naff Brazilian interviewer on podium so he could chat to Nando.

no helmet, hence 100,000 fine from FIA is in the mail

$100,000 less to spend on things he doesn't already have.....

There must be something he doesn't have (no jokes about the missus please).

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
