RBR dug the hole ... no doubt.

But i say BS to chassis argument. Look at how RBR had an average chassis at the start of the year. They were allowed to develop which they have done and easily one of the best 3 going at the moment.

Argument could be made that they are the best.

Now engines...all but 3 teams are locked into what they

are given/bought. You could argue Williams get the same gear but this year they have been behind in spec and it is absolutely an engine formula. They tried to fix that issue years ago by freezing engines as a variable to within a few percent.

Now thats its a variable let others catch up just as they can from an aero or susp or brake perspective. Freezing it when it is a huge variable is silly as Renault and Honda teams are forced to sit out a season.

Good on Merc for getting it right...theybdeserve their championships....but imagine if other teams were banned from developing a blown diffuser...or an F-Duct etc....

Engine homologation has, is and always will be, shit.

This is definitely the most boring year of F1 I've watched, Mercedes dominance aside. Hopefully they can sort it out sooner rather than later

Kimi is also taking a 5th engine this weekend. It's just not newsworthy for him because he's on half the points of his team mate and not in contention for anything.

Vettel is really only racing Rosberg anyway. Hamiltion's 66 point lead is basically insurmountable with 100 points left on the table in the 4 remaining races. He could DNF two of them with Vettel winning both, and still afford to finish 2nd to Vettel in the other two...

That's an awkward way of saying Vettel would have to win all the remaining races and hope Lewis DNFs at least two of them to even have a sniff! It's never going to happen.

Alonso will be running the new Honda PU all weekend too for the first time - only used in a prac session before. So it will be interesting to see if that goes any better than Jenson's old PU. Apparently this new spec engine introduces their direction for next year.

Let's be honest vettel isn't as big of a tool as homo is.

i dunno about that.....

TBH you have to have the sort of attitude they do to be a world champion. You can say what you want about homo but he can bloody drive.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
