Looks like ill be a new foxtel subscriber then...

I stuffed around downloading Sky rips after the events last year and it is just down right painfull..

It just shits me, that i cant "only" pay for motorsports channels. I dont watch any other form of sport... why the hell do i need to pay $60 per month for shit im not going to watch -.-

Thats a huge rip off, considering that you are essentially paying $43.5 per race weekend...

Thats $60 p/m + $150 Install / 20 races per year.

What a joke.

It's almost worth signing up for a NOW TV whole week pass ~2 times a month and pulling it down through a UK supplied VPN connection. If only that was legal. -.-

Sports channels are only $25 a month. The rest is just your base subscription. Although I see your point if you are joining purely for F1

Id like a dedicated channel but looks like its just going to be on fox sports 1, 2 or 3. At least we will see practice, qually and race live anyway. Somethimes I tried streaming practice but was almost always useless

My live streams always worked for practice, race day they sometimes lagged due to all the viewers I imagine, but I pretty much only watched for the pre race and during the 300 odd ad breaks 10 managed to fit into a race.

Will be sweet to get all of that in HD without any of the lag etc

WTF are Bernie and his lackies up to? So they are banning drivers chamging their helmet designs mid season!

What a farking joke. Why are they wasting their time discussing such matters when they had two teams go out of business at the end of last season. Force India and Sauber look shaky. You have big name teams that can't attract a series sponsor. You have a historic GP venue in the middle of Europe saying they can't afford to host the GP and the other venue can't afford it back to back...

...and they decide to talk about what F1 drivers are doing with their helmets.

It annoys me to see such a great sport being completely farked / raped by capitalist douchebags

Yeah that is a bit lame, I always enjoyed seeing the different helmets. Having the same one all the time does get a bit boring, then again changing every race is a bit stupid too (vettel). Maybe they should limit it to 5 changes a year maximum. It's a bit annoying they always want to appeal to the casual viewer and not the true fans that watch every or most races.

I will be there Sat. Still not sure about springing the cash for Sunday or going to Malaysian GP. I am going to JoeSaward on Fri night to hear him moan on about things

Survey of fans on helmet decision!

Yes – it's important that drivers maintain design so we can recognise them in the car 21.29% (306 votes)
Yes – it speaks to the heritage of the sport 13.57% (195 votes)
No – this is more interference in driver individuality on the part of the teams and FIA 21.64% (311 votes)
No – F1 has far more important issues to address than livery design 43.49% (625 votes)

Total Votes: 1,437

AMA SuperCross / Motocross The riders change helmets between practice/race sessions

Fark even I change gear/helmet between races.

Maybe if they put numbers on the cars we could farking recognize them......hows that for a novel idea.

Poor Alonso. Should have taken my advice and served his last year out at Fezz and signed an option for McLaren in 2015. But first see what the first proper James Allison car was like. McLaren have built some horrible cars over the years and when the fluked upon a good one in 2012 they threw it away for a rubbish evolution in 2013 :(

And now you have the woeful Honda engine...looks as bad/worst than Renault given their budget and time to prepare.

Oh well, i am ready to right them off for 2015.

Remember Red Bull last year? Horrible pre season with numerous break downs/issues. Then come Melbourne and they got a car home in second (ignoring the post race issues)

Helmets; well I think changing too often is no good but every so often for special races I like it. I remember when Mclaren drivers used to run the special helmets in Monaco (for a sponsor, forget who) with diamonds in them etc. Vettel was taking it a bit far but I think its funny that they made the ruling against helmet changes 'to help fans distinguish the drivers' yet the poll shows the fans are not concerned.

They do put numbers on the cars (well some teams do anyway) it's just that they aren't very big, and often on the top of the nose where you can't see them anyway. They need big light up ones like the WEC cars have

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
