Just noticed that Schuey is in P5.

Nando must have seen his life flash before his eyes.

Chin, Ricciardo and Vergne picked up a swag of positions

Could have been nasty with cars airborne.

WDC is back on!!

^^ Comprehensive solution there Bob

Make that 1st and 2nd. JB super fast making pole look easy.

wtf is Brundle talking about saying RBR slow in a straight line?? SV with the fastest trap speed in quali so far and MW 5th fastest.

Bugger me dead, Bieber out in Q2.

They discussed this aero a bit during P1 or P2 yesterday.

Or not enough?!?!

any excuse eh

A few hours to go, looks like a there might be some rain but so far Sunday might be ok.

^^yeah that is the business

Humble apologies, just checked the correct weight of the slug and it did come out at 1660kg without the towbar etc.

I am comparing the Stagea to my R33 GTS-t since they are more or less the same engine and I know exactly how each feels in traffic. GTR's are doggy by comparison to a GTS-t off line as well unless you get serious and/or start sidestepping the clutch. The RS4S weighs much more than 1620kg, how much extra weight HICAS and the man sized drive shaft is worth beats me but it was well over 1700kg on the weighbridge. Once they are rolling they go fine never get and argument from me on that score. Off the line the weight hurts them. No one can run and hide from that fact, be it 200kg more 300kg more or 400kg more. Zorro I imagine the RB30 has transformed the car into what it should have been from factory.

That isn't what either of my car weighs.

If you compare it to another heavy car like the GTR then yes they are heavier again and if you drive them four up and some luggage..... Compared to a GTS-t which tips the scales about 400kg lighter then I don't think it is a bum steer to call them heavy considering they are running the same engine. If ever a car should have come with an RB30DET this is it. But we all love em anyway.

You can Nistune S2 stagea ecu's but S1 is a bit problematic.

260RS RB26 so twin turbo and R33 GTR running gear, manual. RS4S RB25DET neo series 2 Stagea R33 GTR running gear, manual

If you want to modify one then it hardly matters how they go in stock form. They are both heavy and are compromised by that fact. If you want a manual then it is an easy decision. If you want to modify the car, C34's are easier to source parts most particularly engine management and are generally easier to work on. If you value more creature comforts and are happy with a slushbox then the M35's are going to look more attractive. Both are good but they are different enough that all C34 owners are like saints and all M35 owners are devil spawn.

Once rolling they are fine but they are fat slugs off the line.

Shaun, lets import a couple of RIPS bottom ends, engine swap, engineering etc at the same time might save a few bucks?

Do you mean he is going to block the track and stall in quali or run someone off the road? I hope he does something Schuey-esque.

Certainly are Scotty. I slightly edited my post to make it more correct.
