AJ annoys me when there is a team radio about to play and he just keeps talking and always seems to stop just after its over

A funny thing to compared to the Sky commentators - when the cross to a garage shot etc the Sky team says 'there's ________, who's been _______'

Meanwhile, channel 10 in the same position is pretty much just silent. Not a major thing but I just found it funny

Matt White is a useless commentator. Cant they swap him with Neil Crompton?

Dull race for the lead, but plenty going on at the back. My first reaction was "oh no not Arnie" but he did a good job...as others said better than old Alan.

Webber and Alan Jones were a good duo.Mark will learn he doesnt need to talk so much and clubbed with Alans low key I quite rated what they could be with regards to commentary. But Aus GP only so who cares.

Bigger concern, is Homo is going to cruise to wins unless Rosberg can dig VERY DEEP! RBR cant pass a Sauber...Fezz still only able to field 1 car....and McLaren a disgrace... that was the sort of finish we expected last year...not 12 months into new regs

Williams will struggle.../lotus still breaking my heart...and thanking god i have WEC to follow this year

Such a terrible effort from Renault in my opinion. They had the time and money to do better, were everyone else has gone up a notch they have stayed as is. Even AJ said he would rather their factory car Torro Rosso than the Reb Bull at the moment.

Poor Dan.

Good to see Kimi with some good potential but I have to be honest, as much as I waited with so much excitement to watch the race, about 7 laps into it I realised there needs to be some massive improvements to from manufacturers to help the viewers enjoy watching. The Mercedes white wash continues.

Just so disappointed with Renault efforts.

F1 has definitely lost something, 11 cars completing the race, why would anyone besides diehard supporters bother watching, it was a complete snooze feast.

If there was a repeat of the Bathurst 12 hour on, I would have watched that.

Fezz had problem after problem on Kimi's car last year...seems stupid mistakes in pitstops continue.

Engine freeze with a new engine formula and only 4 engines a year...well appears we hot lucky last year, and now the Mercs have a huge advantage.

Williams 4acing Ferrari for 3rd-5th looks to be the only thing we can take from the season. Mercs finish 30sec ahead when they were not even pressing

I wouldn't say that Williams will struggle. That is unless bottas can't race for a while. We all know that he's the faster of the 2 drivers both in quali and on race day.

If Bottas doesn't come good they should get Nasr back for a race or two. Then Van de Garde can drive the Sauber for that time (Keeps them out of court) and Williams will have Nasr and Massa.

In other news if that is the best F1 can do the formula is totally fkd. 5 cars didn't even make the start. Half the field either running 100's of hp down to protect their engines and no competition anywhere to speak of. Plus so many teams are either going broke or have no sponsorship. Probably only MB, RedBull and Ferrari are viable at present.

I think F1 has been on a roll lately. But this year looks woeful with quali performances over 1.3 seconds clear of the next team. Lets see what happens re the Williams and Ferrari fight....but with no McLaren or RBR in there it will be interesting to see if Lotus can not trip up like they did on the weekend and get in to 4th in the constructors

Well sucks to have to get excited about 4th place in the constructors. What happened to Grosjean? Loss of power - is that a rod through the block or a gearbox or something other than that?

As for Ferrari vs Williams. Ferrari has more money. Money wins.

Plus now have to put up with Johnny Herbert all year. He is better on the mike than Alan Jones but that is like saying VD is a better STD than syphilis.

Looked like a turbo went kaputt to me.

I see you prefer watching Safety Cars being refuelled to do enough laps to keep the 'racing' close than genuine racing.

No point whinging about Mercedes' advantage either - they simply worked harder on the new engine for longer than the other manufactureres. They're reaping that investment now. 99% of the time, F1 is dominated by one team with the others trying to catch up anyway. If you don't like that, perhaps you should watch a parity formula instead. Although they still seem to get dominated by the teams with the best engineers and most resources anyway...

There was plenty to hold my interest through that race, and to have me looking forward to the next one.

Unfortunately the next 2 races are highlights only on FTA... maybe that will better suit the guys who complain about it being boring anyway!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
