Why would you expect to have fade prior to boiling the fluid? Fade is a pad issue not a fluid issue. The pad can be perfectly happy whilst the fluid is boiling its nuts off. Bleed them again - you may well find the stuff comes out black. Usually does for me anyway. Oh and get some ducted air onto the rotor/calliper etc.

I had the Mines baffles fitted so couldnt run a top mount as the two dont go together. Who you getting your engine done by? Also you should enter the next Wroo Speed Event Sprint.

You sure you are not boiling your brake fluid?

Cheers for the offer. As of last time out at Wroo I think I have it sorted. The thing managed a 55.0 short circuit on tyres so old they had sparks coming off them. The solution is to vent the blow by via a path that doesnt go through the back of the head. I think the most of the rest of it is bollocks - eg the Mines head baffles, tiny (<1.0mm) oil restrictors. Ofcourse venting the blowby is really just a bandaid, albeit a common one. It shouldnt happen in the first place but a relatively small amount of blowby appears to cause big probems in the RB's. There are no end of RB26 out there who have this issue but it isnt a problem as they are only driven on roads where it doesnt show up. There is another discussion to be had about ring thickness, tension and selection - eg what forged pistons can I run and use Nissan rings?

Questions 1. Do the rears just bolt straight on? Does the R32 handbrake set-up still work fine inside R34 rotor? Do you use the R32 GT-R brake lines or R34 brake lines? You need to bash the backing plates about to make everything fit. I removed them entirely and metal reflective taped over the upper link bush as it is close to the rotor. Also I used the callipers from a 33 and found I had to get some hoses made up as the 33 lines were too short. 2. On the front, do R32 GT-R brake lines bolt straight up? If so will order some R32 GT-R braided lines. Not sure I had some F40 callipers on the front. 3. Can you get away with using R32 GT-R master cylinder? Or do you HAVE to change to R34 GT-R? You can get an R32 master cylinder out of an V spec with a larger bore.

See attached. They were drawn ages ago and I think the trainee draftie did them so cant guarantee dimensions. Not sure what grade aluminium they are either. But bump steer and roll centres are not related.

Probably a good thing. My god we sucked.

As already stated it wont make a bit of difference to your acceleration - it is another 40lbs you are adding to the weight of the car - not a big figure given the thing will weigh over 3000lbs to start with. What it will do is degrade the cars ride and its handling. The heavier the tyre/rim/brake/suspension arm set (refered to as unsprung weight) the harder the suspension has to work to keep the tyre on the road. So your 30lb wheel (which is thereabouts of 10lbs heavier than a good 17" rim) will have an effect.

The next time you get pulled over - guessing it wont be long if it has been 7 times in 3 days - and if the coppers are half reasonable (& only if they are) explain to them what has been going on and ASK them (nicely) why you are getting pulled over all the time. If they are letting you go anyway and you havent been carrying on there is a reasonable chance they will explain it to you. You may then have half a chance of sorting it out.

Yeah the best races in F1 are those that avoid the fakery.

They used to be common as muck a few years back. I think Mobil put them out. Anyway just type Mclaren f1 poster & maybe the MP number (MP4/13?) into a search engine and you should get a bunch of options. But if it was for home I would try & get soemthing a bit less common.

Before you get too paranoid you need to understand that the oil pressure sender unit is a known problem on the R32 GTR's. So you can either replace the unit with a known good one or get a mechanic to put a gauge on it for you. Do that before you do anything else.

Anything could happen. But the Australian Vodafone is a different company. A company which has a rubbish network that fails on so many levels it is just not funny. So the yocals pulled the cricket & 888 sponsorships to go build some towers.

Probably not. But good on Boris for having a go.

So was he off the track or on the kerb? Or just off the track before he drove onto the kerb & shortly after in the side of Hamilton? Kimi managed to avoid the same fate in the same spot on lap 2 trying to get past the Williams. Maldanado took the same line that Hamilaton did later on.

But it is ok to rejoin the circuit & fire into the side of another car? If anyone cares to look see what happened on lap 2 to Kimi. Same corner, slightly different result.

As much as I wanted to see Williams get a podium - it was Maldanados fault. You just dont rejoin the track and fire into the side of someone. What the shot above doesnt show was that he had four wheels off the circuit - to be honest I was surprised he got away with a 20 second penalty. He has to stop doing stupid sht - Melbourne was bad enough, then Monaco, now this.

So who is the bloke standing next to Bobby Rahal?

As much as I am willing to slate Ferrari for their massively dodgy actions down the years I dont think you can really blame them for this non story. Really the RedBull was legal - there was some vagary in the rule and it has been cleared up. Webber is, reasonably, annoyed by the sniping over stuff all after what was a really good drive. Anyway Canada will be interesting (I hope). Wonder which of the MB powered cars wins.

The whole thing is bullsh!t anyway. Other teams (eg a certain nominally Italian team with red livery have a similar hole but it is not "enclosed" The cut in the floor to make it open you cant even fit a single sheet of paper through. http://www.formula1.com/news/technical/2012/869/967.html

But you are ignoring the fact that the GTO was completely and utterly sh!t when new and the passage of time has done nothing to help its cause.
