So who's tipping what for the Malaysian GP?

I'm quietly thinking Mercedes are going to have an engine failure of some sort, something about Hamiltons interviews since Melbourne make it seem like he/they are not entirely confident with the engine he will be using

If Rosberg's has the same potential issue then being the engine that has done more km, there might be a problem with his car

Or they might walk away with this one again, who knows.

Will get to see some real power comparisons with the long Sepang straights at least. See how the Ferrari stacks up to the Merc, I think the Renault is behind so we will get to see that for sure or not as well

Hoping Ferrari have made a step forward, hope Kimi has a better run

Rosberg's worked which is a good start and maybe an indication it will continue to work. They only get five (?) per year so you would hope one gp hasnt knackered it.

Predicitng Ricciardo will continue to dominate his fragile team mate.*

Hoping the Caterhams qualify nowhere near the Williams.

*May have gone somewhat early with the domination call.

My money is on a very strong weekend by Williams. They generally go alright around there and then fall off the face of the planet until the end of the year.

Will be very interesting to see the racing as there are plenty of overtaiking opportunities at Sepang

Well you can always hope. Problem with teams going better than they should is they almost invariably find some way of stuffing it up. eg Bottas in the wall or it rains and they have no wet weather pace or some other random reliability thing that screws a good weekend.

Wish I could pocket a dollar for every time multi 21 gets trotted out this weekend.

f**k. Like I said, NOONE in here is going to decide what the outcome is. Its pointless arguing like this.....

Just wait till the f**king appeal and then everyone will know

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
