God Lewis talks shit! In BBC interview he has stated how "its funny" that as an 8yr old the parents of other kids he catted against used to tell him that he didnt have it. His teachers at school and headmaster said he wouldnt achieve anything.....WTF is this guy on about with his victim complex!!!!

^^ Yep. Slowing down that much (even close to the pit wall) is dangerous. Have seen F1 drivers do it occasionally when they've won the WDC.. but I don't buy the "suspension damage" bit at all. He is bullshitting. It's a straight bit of track, coast down until the next corner and THEN slow down or go off track and park it. He certainly had suspension damage after the accident though :P

A 2 race suspension isn't enough. He is utterly unapologetic and doesn't seem to understand that what he did was dangerous.

Interesting read....

I am biased but hoping the fact that Ferrari were in serious contract negotiations with Romain pre signing of Vettel means that giving Kimi the boot at the end of the year should see him promoted. Hulk, deserves a good seat but I am rooting for James Allisons time at Lotus and suspicion that he was a driving opinion behind discussions with him last year will see a rocket put up Vettel to ensure that both drivers are pushing to keep Fezz at the pointy end...something Kimi cant do

Hulk...give him Massa's seat. He is driving well this year, but I understand there is an option for next year...and frankly time for some new blood and reckon Hulk vs Bottas would be a great combination for Williams and their best chance to stepping up against Mercedes next year

Oh...and FOM still havent called me about a job for next year :(

Romain got a beating by Kimi at Lotus... Why on earth would anyone entertain the idea of replacing Kimi, who's getting whupped by all the top guys he gets paired with, with a bloke who couldn't even keep up with him?

Romain blew up when he had a shot at a win in Spain...would have won given Vettel blew up iirc.

He moved over repeatedly for Kimi...when Kimi announced he was leaving and wasnt given on track preference look at the back half of 2013.

I know i am a fanboy but the guy trounced Kimi in 2013 and despite a turbulent 2012 qualified well and had some good races to go with the bad

    • 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?
