Roy is exactly right. DC is a great RACE driver, just too poor in quali. I too hope he gets the drive alongside webber, but it's looking a bit shaky. Williams are on a push to find the drivers of tomorrow, not those of yesterday. I think in reality they want someone young that Webber can groom for them, so that this 'second' driver can be world champ in a few years time. Pizzonia is a knob and I seriously think it would be a mistake to pick him as Webber team mate, especially with the unproffesional attituted he displayed towards his former team and team mate.

Anyway, who else is going to Melb F1? I've booked my Brabham grandstand tickets and accomodation and flights are all booked and paid for too. Now I've just got to fill in time between now and March...

All drooling aside- I hope DC gets a drive next season. It looks like he still might have a chance at one of the spots with Red Bull Racing?

Hey Richard, what have you organised for Melb? I am pushing to do the Grand Prix rally next year (if the GTR is back on the road). Failing that, I'm sure to be making my way down there anyway.

Personally, I think DC is a waste of space.

He comes out EVERY year saying, "I know I was crap last year, but this year will be my year", and never delivers. The only thing Coulthard is useful for is the experience, and Williams have enough of that already. Coulthard would be ideal for a team like Red Bull so he can pass on his knowledge of the tracks/setups etc before he retires in the not too distant future.

It really puzzles me as to who Williams are going to recruit as "driver 2" as there isn't much more talent out there. Heidfeld was thrown around before, but I'm guessing he's staying at Jordan since Briscoe didn't get the drive... Pizzonia is unprofessional as was said before, and Alex Davidson seems to get over looked every year.

Anyway, my 2c (at work and bored), but I look forward to next year and yes, I'm going to Melbourne too! Accomodation is booked, working on flights and tickets.

I've (well my gf did actually) booked some brabham grandstand tickets, flights (virgin) down from sydney on 3/3/05 and leaving melbs on 7/3/05. Staying in Carlton (stayed in city last year, but nice to be close to Lygon street where all the action is post Ferrari win)...

Last year I went with three mates but they are all too cheap to come this year (well ones in Japan) so this year I'm bringing my better half. Told her she needs to hear an F1 V10 at least once in her life before they change to V8s *sniff.

Yeah, you guys have to do the GP rally. only problem is duncans such a crap driver. maybe you and I should do it in duncans GTR (the rally that is)...

I thought JPM would have been more your type  :rant:

:uhh:  I'm not even going to touch that one

My girlfriend thinks wahn is the sh1t but less so after she gets five bucks on him every race, and I get five on schui. ha ha needless to say, I'm nicely cashed up at seasons end...

Kel, you have a dirty mind... reading something into everything. :)

Yeah, Roy has made noises about southern hospitality before, perhaps a dinner somewhere central one night is in order?

Ummm I didn't have enough time to read whole thread.

Just saw an interview on RPM with Webber.

He's currently with Williams and they don't know who the team-mate will be and Jenson Button was a favourite cept it couldn't happen.

He's testing the car right now with Antonio.

Didn't webber come across poorly in that interview this arvo....must have been a busy week or something.

Hey Roy, how'd JV go in those races...I've been a bit out of contact? He didn't show himself to be an overhyped talentless no-hoper did he?

LOL...that makes you the nominated driver of the booz bus and ensuring all the pi55 heads get home in 1 piece:)

woo hoo.. I mean d'oh. I don't know what I mean? so much conflict...

Duncan on webber interview:

I thought he was 'ok'. One thing was interesting was seeing how he twitched when the talk turned to pizza boy and who will be his teamate next year. and whislt fielding those questions he was blinking about 30 times a minute which is strange for someone who only blinks around 5 times a lap... :) He said: "i don't (blink) know who (blink, blink) my teamate will be next year (blink X 10)."

very funny.

yeah, oz GP will rock.

Richard

      R34 GTT triple gauge pod plug pinout?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.

      R34 GTT triple gauge pod plug pinout?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
