Cool old Starion!

You sometimes get pad knock off on some kits but its definitely not the norm. I have never driven a Skyline without the booster so cant comment on that but the Catherham, friends App J Historic Touring car all felt great without a master. But they are light cars with little tyres, ;little horsepower with little in the way of braking capacity. Be interested to see how a Skyline feels in contrast, if it feels the same then great....at the end of the day if its a Targa car with ABS I say dont stress there are other things more important to mess with like suspension to get the car to stop

Nice car. Shame I missed it at the car wash from across the street of where I work I would have liberated the keys due to all the awesome Nismo bits and bobs that finish this car so nicely

The whole brake master cylinder thing is not that big a deal if you have ABS. Depends on what you are running now and which AP caliper it is you are buying. You have done well to find an AP kit for a GTR with that sized rotor as they are normally custom and not off the shelf AP with that rotor size

When you trial single let me know what you are doing with your twin setup. I know someone looking for all the fluff needed for going to a twin street setup

What info I can find on these says that they do not retain NEO variable timing? Were you running these in your R34 GTT?

You have a few options. Assuming you are running an AP 6 pot from the 5000 series then you will be fine with up to a 380mm rotor. I would personally try and run something thicker than 32mm if you are going to be doing a dedicated targa car where you dont have the time to even detect, handle and live with any brake fade. So depending what you are looking to do you can go for a setup you can either try and grab some R35 rotors and hats. You can grab some V8 Supercar rotors and get hats made up to suit a caliper of your chosing. Stoptech do a 380x35mm But generally I would be looking at an AP or Alcon caliper that will do a 376-380mm with a thickness of 34-35.5mm. Inside a TE37 they will fit fine and still have clearance for rocks etc

Steve Johnson may be a nice guy, byt DJR putting him in that seat for so many years won't have helped a whole lot. RIP DJR! Also, not a fan of Whincup so hope that Red Bull make it hard for him as I am sure that T888 and RB will have an agreement as main sponsor about veto rights on other lesser sponsors.

May come for a drive up Sat night and tap some kegs! Will see how the weather looks

How heavy are the Greddy pipes. I am trying to chose between the HKS and the Greddy pipes at the moment

Great to see another German GTR! The only Skylines and other imports I have seen in Germany normally sport UK plates. Looks like a neat example too What part of Germany are you in?

Is that really true though?!?! Forget the Webber incidents etc for a moment. Just generally... Historically they gave each other room. Then with increases in safety and tracks with run off emerging as the norm you started to see guys more commonly being forced wide. Typically you used the exit and compromised their run in the corner...but I am not sure I accept the "you run them out of room/track theory. God knows its dangerous making blanket statements as moves around the outside are common in flip-flop/S-bends etc. But I do agree that the guy on the inside has the line and advantage and has the right to hang around , but if he is a wheel behind on a compromised line for the exit as he is entering so shallow then I am not sure its so clear cut. So jumping back to the Webber theory I just dont think its so clear cut. If you try an outside move on a 90deg corner you have to expect you are going to be pinched on the exit these days and probably forced to take to the run off area as they take the line on exit if you are anything remotely wheel to wheel. This is where you are better trying to compromise their entry then get a better exit with the over-under style move. But on a flip flop/S-bend the guy on the inside has to get back to the other side of the track asap to get a good run on the exit of the second bend. In the case of Webber-Massa, Masa forced Webber off the track after a dive bombing wheel clash when hsi normal line would have been to hand left on exit so he had a more optimum line for the second half of the corner. So you are free to tae the normal line but I guess to e its blurred with racing craft when you hang around the outside hoping to gain track position and the inside line for the second corner or final 90deg part of the croner

Are 2530s and -5s the same part number? They were the ones he was specifically talking about and I made the assumption it could/would be the case with other HKS-Garret equiv turbz

You can race Button and Alonso around the outside and even Grosjean. I think Webber was a little ruthless on Maldanado and could have left him more space at Pastor was able to hang around but Massa did come back and sort of bash up in there, then hacked it on the exit.

Vettel had an amazing drive to get on the podium. One thing though if you go back to Vettel running into Webber at Suzuka all those years ago. Then when he messed up behind the pace car in Hungary. In Singapore he and Button almost came together and then tonight him and Dan. He needs to be a little more careful under the safety car. He seems to run a load of close calls And post race interview with Hamilton....credit to the guy he handled himself well. Chatty without being sooky or playing victim. Makes me think about Schuey saying losing the past few years has taught him a lot. He handled what must be massive disappointment with two mechanical DNFs and two mechanical problems that robbed him of pace in the last 4 races!

Did Vettel jut say "we had a chance to fark it up" ? Then "bloody" LOL, DC just apologised for him! Kimi brings out the worst in people

"Ah not much. People give me shit for not smiling enough ... "

Best podium interview in a long while!

Yeh, its a question of who he was pulling it on. Massa and Faildanado...not quite the same as Alonso and Button so pick your battle

I love Kimi!

Kimi better win this. OIf Vettel wins I will never watch another F1 race

WHAT A FARKING CIRCUS!

Webber 9th Man...I want to harm myself

Webber needs to stop showing so much respect for the other drivers and not hang around the outside...get it up the inside for CHRISTS SAKE! And it looks to be a race between Kimi and Vettel...lucky fark will get the tyres to the end

Button just did what Webber should have done...muscled up the inside. Trying to get the job done on the outside of Maldanado was always going to end in tears
