I still don't understand why he had to win and his team mate had to settle for 2nd....Michael is so far in front,,,nobody's gonna stop him from winning the championship and poor old Rubins gotta cop all that crap at the end....Michaels one arrogant son of a bitch....:uh-huh: :cheers:;):)

NDR...Your very ain't Shuie...LOL. But I will agree to the FERRARI and Schumacher decision to make Rubens pull over and let Michael by - At the same time, its happened some many times before why is everyone getting so upset about it...as if it wasn't going to happen!

A highly rated German Autosport Publication has claimed that they have confirmation from the FIA that Schumacher will be demoted to second place. The FIA was denied the fact.

I will always love a good argument about MS. I won't deny that I think his "tops" and deserves the championship. But on the other hand I will also be sensible and state I hated what he did in Austria this year and the Jerez incident.

I hope Rubens does get 1st place...he deserved it. But MS will still win the title.

Peak,,,I'm not really against Shu,,,as I told you on the Cruise,,,,I just love stirring the pot....He is the best Tar driver in the World.

I just feel a bit sad for Rubins,,,,he worked bloody hard and ended up 1st looser.

Remember,,,,Everybody's entitled to there opinion,,,unfortunately Mines always Right.

This is not Michale Shumachers fault, It is the Ferrari team leader and Rubens fault. Why Rubens fault you ask? Well, he followed the instructions and let Michael through. He SHOULD have done what was right and said "no". Whoever told Rubins to let Schueu through obviously isn't very sportsman like. Rubins worked hard for the win, and is the forgotten hero on the ferrari team. He's a good driver - It's not fair that he has to give way to his team-mate. If the Ferrari team keeps up with things like that, the Formula One community will be looking shamefully upon them that is for sure. I think the decision to take the 4 points off Schumacher and give them to Rubins was great. He deserved them after all. You can't really blame Michael Schumacher, he didn't even know rubins was slowing down as far as i know, and didn't have enough time to back off either.... he was accellerating hard onto the straight. He DID let rubins have the trophy and from what i saw wasn't too happy about the teams decision either.

Just my thoughts

He wouldve been happy to be a Pit mechanic for Ferrari if he didnt listen to the orders.

Schumacher doesnt need the points, he's far ahead, but took the points because the championship isnt secured as yet. If he crashes and breaks something (like he did the the year when Hakkinen won it the second time in a row), he wouldnt be driving, which would still allow one of the williams drivers to catch up and take the glory away from Michael.

Im not a fan or Ferrari, but am a fan of F1, and its a Team Sport, and Team Orders are a part of the sport. everyone should get over it.

No decision has been made on Ferrari yet.

I doubt he will lose the points he aquired as the FIA are more likely to fine Ferrari for the podium thing. If team orders are illegal, then they, and may other teams will have been screwed over before.

Rubens cannot ignore the call to move over. It's written in his contract. However, Ralf was told to move over for Montoya, which he said he couldn't hear because of radio problems. Understand that Rubens cannot simply ignore the call because it could be his job on the line.

I hate team orders myself, but it's always been apart of F1.

You can say F1 is a team sport...But in the end, it'll be schuie that takes the glory, schuie that takes the blame. No one cars who Ferrari's team manager is, who made the call, it came down to his choice, take the lead, or don't.

And if he didn't pass ? They're going to fire him ? NO CHANCE IN HELL.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
