Williamss appear to be going backwards, and look like struggling to score points:( Toyota, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault all looking  strong, then you have Honda who are sitting out the next few GPs...more work to do:(

Hard to say until the 2nd qualifying session - he's not too badly placed atm for a points finish? I see another Toyota win looking likely though?

Qualifying isn't really Webbers weak point, its his racing. He does enough to hold onto a points scoring position but then makes 2-3 silly mistakes every race that loses him those 5 positions that take it from a 1-2 point scramble to 'just another finish'.

Huh? Toyota have never won an F1 race in their history...

Think you may have been referring to Renault - in which case, I agree with you :cheers:

:Oops: Woops- sorry, I have a head full of snot atm.

Should have said a Toyota win - I reckon Trulli might get up.

I'm not a Toymotor fan, just want to see another team win one for a change and make things a bit interesting!

I think it will be between Fonso and liddle Kimi. Apparently Kimi was doing it easy. Toyota? maybe, though Trulli in the past has had Webber tendancies, that is, qualified well and dropped off during the race. At this point they are so close in times that it is hard to see if anyone has an advantage (although Kimi stated he lost around 0.5 sec in the first sector).

I hope Webber can get it together for the race. Apart from anything, it will just get the critics off his back. I'm sure he's got it in him. He's one of the quickest over one lap. During the race, does he just push too hard or is it a concentration thing?

Are we being a little too hard on Webers racing? I dont think he deserves that sort of wrap, he normally races well. This season it was only the last race where he went backwards...and thats because he couldnt clear the Toyota early in the race.

I think he is one of the better racers myslef, i dont think Williams are at the top of their game at the moment...we will see how they go over the next month of two, but it would appear from practices problems it wont be a weekend to remember.

My money is on Kimi tonight, with MS 2nd and Alonso 3rd

You are probably right Roy. I try not to be too hard on Webber and still hope for some good results in the future.

I guess alot of people were looking forward to this season with Williams, expected alot and to date have been disappointed. Not disappointed in relation to Webber's driving necessarily, but the net result so far, which I know has a lot to do with the car.

For some reason I don't think MS will be up there in the race. Don't know why I think that. He may just surprise me, like he did last race. That was awesome.

Im from the other end of the spectrum. I wasnt expecting a whole lot form either Weber or Williams, based purely on the results of the past two seasons where they had long term drivers, same engineering staff etc etc. This season there have been a few infastructure changes, so that combined with patchy performace past two seasons...

Well i was expecting most GPs to be like the last, and just quietly its good to see Weber so far showing a bit more promise then Heidfield, as quietly i was thinking Heidfield was going to show up our boy:) Glad to see i was wrong:)

I was actually surprised by how well Heidfeld has gone compared to Webber, he has out qualified him a couple of times now but I think Heidfeld is starting from the back or something in this one?

in F1 Webber, has usually seemed to qualify well, start poorly then drive solidly (generalisation but still, bloody Fisichella running into him the other race :rofl: ). Hard to say whats the car and whats him, but I think when he gets the setup right and his starts and racecraft right I dont see why he wont start winning races.....hopefully

Fingers cross Webber don't bog down on launch. I want to see him brake super late into the first corner!

It's SO hard to chose who to barrick for. Webber cause he's an aussie. Kimi cause I'm a maclarens man. And Toymotor cause I own one now...

Why couldn't Ron Dennis sign Webber up and I buy a merc??? I'm such a cheap b@stard! :rofl:

minardi's are crap! the couldn't eve start the race now! Why do thy even bother?

Sucks to be them! How pissed off would you be if you came all that way to stall on the grid.

Kimi looks quick - I'm going to shut up and stop trying to predict whose going to win these things.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
