Ferrari would still be nowhere if nando was still there.

The guy is a cancer srsly.

Im sure he would be doing better then racing Manor's though lol

HAAS is an interesting one. They are predicting they arent going to start out crap because of Ferrari engine, gearbox etc (and chassis too i think) but im still not 100% sold that they will get the aero spot on first go. Will it be Ferrari's 2015 engine anyway?

Funny...Fezz were nowhere with Kimi and Massa any Alonso challenged how many WDCs , won how many GPs and placed in the WDC vs team mates etc?

McLaren have been rooted for years now

Meanwhile, going to tough following Romain. Hope its a genius move and Fezz poach him on the departure of Kimi

I don't fully understand what you are trying to get accross here

I'd hardly say Ferrari were nowhere with Kimi and Massa though, 1 WDC and nearly a second one with Massa the year after

Looking at Mclaren last year, and there troubled pre-season, I always thought they were going to have a tough year. But I think everyone is a bit suprised with how far behind they are. Considering they had quite a while to prep. I'm not really sure what rules and regs apply when you are developing a new engine. I assume it just has to stay within the rules though, which means it had potential to be as good as the Mercedes (although that's quite a high expectation)

I dunno, I'm not claiming to be an expert. But I just cant believe Honda, with the time they had, couldnt develop a better package. Assuming that they are right in saying that the Mclaren Chassis and Aero is decent

2016 engines to have screamer pipes by the sound of this:

http://planetf1.com/news/fia-confirms-tweaks-to-make-cars-noisier/

I wonder if it will actually make them sound any good, I still think they need to up the fuel flow limits and let them actually rev higher to ~15,000rpm during races and that will make them sound right

I am rather vanilla on Bottas...so didnt mind Kimi making a lunge. Allisons comments anout the pit wall bein in his ear to have a go was god for the sport. The move showed a bit of hackness in that Bottas didnt realise a dive bomb was coming. Hasd it been better telegraphed and squeezed to the Apex...could shoulda stuff but good on him for the red hot poke!

Romain hack result....Dan hack result and Rosberg another crap result....Lewis is getting the run of the green these days

I can imagine what would have been said if it was Maldonardo instead of Kimi... Hack move is a hack move. And that was really shit. Especially from a former champion. He was pretty dodgy with his teammate earlier too. If you're 100pts behind your teammate this late in the season, and he's fighting for 2nd in the WDC to upset your main rival's applecart, do you defend as hard as possible risking a collision with him when he's fully alongside approaching a corner? You've already lost out the duel anyway...

Other than that - such excitement in the F1 threads these days, here and on other forums. Pay TV is dealing F1 a slow death in Aus.

Almost about time to start that 2016 thread, cause this thing is done

Shit... might as well start a 2017 thread, I dare say Mercedes have next years WDC/WCC well in their sights too

Nah bro red bull will win next year.

F1 being the most boring spectator sport on TV at the moment is killing f1.

MotogGP on the other hand goes from strength to strength

I dont get how F1 and FIA have no requirement for engines to be available to to any team for nominal $$$

Williams seems to be dancing around thatvMerc haveca newcengine spec not available to them. Sauber are not using current spec Fezz engines and obviously RBR have no engine.

In the "glory" days the free availability of a Cosworth DFV meant you could build a chassis and win races...now you need the engine which Merc and Fezz are keeping to themselves..

And its BS. Sauber, Lotus, FI still in trouble and not only going to getvworse ifvthe next gen of young drivers dont have equally deep pockets as current crop

The advantage of being an actual constructor rather than a glorified garagist.

When Red Bull were blitzing the field for 3 years straight, did they have to supply their chassis to any team at a nominal cost?

Besides, RBR dug this hole for themselves.

  • Like 1

Funny how they were talking about what they are doing to help with turbulent air etc saying wings need to be lower and wider.........

A bit like they were a few years ago?

Formula 1 is real strange like that. Go on and on about cost cutting then do circles with the rules. I suppose everyone can just dust off the old spec wings. 2nd hand parts will save money i guess........

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
