  1. Yes. And no. It depends on the event. Some such as rally sprints allow you a navigator. You are allowed an instructor at times. And on some practice/ride days passengers are allowed. But it depends on the event and on what the circuit allows the event organisers to do.
  2. Have to be an eye watering amount of coin to have any influence. A world championship would be worth how many millions over the course of his retirement?
  3. Multimeter. $20. Srsly. http://catalogues.repco.com.au/home.html Also butchered.
  4. Is it available somewhere or is a standard GPS antenna enough?
  5. That's an easy fix then. Piss the spacers off.
  6. Its just that I am old and cynical and reckon wheels & tyres should be designed to make the car go/turn/stop and not for stance/fitment. If you are setting cambers to make the tyre fit to my addled brain you are doing it the wrong way around. Equally it is out past the guard then it doesn't fit either. But as I said I am old and jaded so each to their own.
  7. Hmm, well it may be the same story but the other photos make it look like your wheels/tyres are sticking out past the guard?
  8. You need a L2S cams licence. See here: http://www.cams.com.au/get-involved/competitors/getting-started You need a car club affiliation to go with it. If only there was a Skylines club that held track days..........
  9. John, Can you elaborate a bit on the logging part of it? I have version 1 and am curious to see what has been added.
  10. Wish I knew what this meant: And although Mercedes wants to wait for the dust to settle on the weekend before holding a crisis meeting, Wolff has assured Hamilton that a simple telling off is unlikely. "Today we've seen the limits of the slap on the wrist," he said. "Maybe the slap on the wrist is not enough. "If Lewis has said that it's going to be a slap on the wrist, and that there's going to be no consequence, then he's not aware of what consequences we can implement." When asked what the team could actually do to rectify the situation, Wolff said: "A lot. But I'm not going to comment on this right now." Fine? He just signed a $30 Mill a year contract like that would hurt. Team orders? You will come second for the next N races? Severe talking to? Really, what could they possibly do that wont hurt the team worse than the driver?
  11. You can usually look up what the rim size range is acceptable for the tyre manufacturer. EG: http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires_101/customizing/rim_wheel_width/ The reason people get mad is that Skylines are supposedly about good engineering. Putting a fitment set of tyres/rims on them is seen to be the same as neons.
  12. Phark. You know things are bad when the manager has to clarify what their own spokesman has said and when the two drivers are both telling less than the full truth and/or avoiding the media.
  13. Cheers man. Just out of interest in rugby big in Japan?
  14. Nice car. Don't take this the wrong way but are you going to get some rims that fit? You look to have a ton of neg camber on the rear which cant be good for the handling.
  15. If you post some photos of the badges you want on the car I am sure someone can help. Just make them big enough & with the dimensions you want.
  16. “It’s fair to say the team had one view of the incident and Nico had another,” said a Mercedes spokesman. “Lewis’s comments about what Nico said in the debrief are largely accurate.” Ouch.
  17. What's so difficult. Figure out who you don't like. Blame them. Profit.
  18. Well I don't mind so much as long as he is not trying to be Senna Mk 2 and be all spiritual and shit. Then I just want to see him in the fence.
  19. Think is was Vettel where he locked up. Button he ran off the road and had to redress. Not sure if the radio they broadcast ("Ask Charlie if the overtake was ok") was from the Button overtake which he redressed or another one besides.
  20. Well that is not so much of a problem for lenses but for camera it would be a right pain. Random question: Where would you get a Coca Cola Red Sparks Nick Cummins aka The Honey Badger jersey from?
  21. Well it was only the first of three overtakes he stuffed up during the GP. Britney should have won once Homo pitted. But the second and third mistakes he made meant he couldn't. Which must have pissed the MB folk off massively. Shame of all of this is the handbags at five paces nonsense takes away from the really good job Dan did. Those last laps pushing for every tenth were really good as was his first stint where he lapped a lot quicker than his team mate and made his tyres last longer. Class act, as opposed to the muppets from MB.
  22. You reckon welcome back Checo could ever happen? McLarens problem now is that there aren't any credible ways into F1 without a bucket of cash or Ferrari/RedBull/Elf/Benz etc backing. None of which are tied to their team now or will be in the future. They used to just be able to pick whomever they wanted - eg Lauda, Prost, Britneys old man, Senna, Alonso. But those days are gone now, it appears. Homo was an oddity as he had support from early on.
  23. But who is the question. Grojean, the Hulk? Not many candidates out there.
  24. No idea how they got away with that so lightly. Oh, wait, its Ferrari. Amazing they got any penalty at all.
