i doubt that navy blue and yellow is the final colour scheme... but i must admit it is a sexy looking car. The mirrors are a bit odd, but other than that it looks like they've taken a step forward in a lot of areas. Makes the Toyota that was just lauched look like a big red and white piece of crap

Go Toyota and Renault.

Never really liked Ferrari but I have a sinking feeling they will be very fast.

Hopefully it is a close year, I'd love to see Williams, Renault and Toyota neck and neck at the top.

Couple pre launch shots of the williams F1...

looks really nice. Only thing i dont like is the exhaust outlet, but other than that, it looks the goods. Its still not going to threaten the podium, but its a refreshing change from all the red and white on the grid.

Apparently the car at the official launch will have slightly different livery and some new parts added that are still being tested

Here is hoping Toyota can bolt together a decent engine. I have a sneaking suspicion the only differences will be that the Toyota motor will have less hp than last years Cosworth & the driver pairing won't be as good. Although maybe Rosberg will stop running into his team mate.

Hope I'm wrong.

There was an interview that I read with Wurz (I think in F1 Racing, can't be sure as my magazines are packed up to move house) that the Toyota engine had less power, torque and driveability than the Cosworth, but the dollars required for the Toyota motor where a lot less than the Cosworth, hence Sir Frank and Patrick Head went for the Toyota.

haha it seems the old boys can't get enough of each other even after life in F1!

Jan.17 (GMM) Former grand prix winner Juan Pablo Montoya has hit back at Michael Schumacher after the retired seven time world champion belittled the NASCAR series. Colombian Montoya, who is this week testing for the Daytona 500 after switching from McLaren in 2006, reckons the 38-year-old German wouldn't be able to cope with stock car racing. Schumacher told the New York Times last weekend: "What do you do in NASCAR? What is exciting there?" Montoya reacted by insisting that NASCAR is harder than it appears to F1 insiders. "Just take (Schumacher) to (the) Homestead (oval) and tell him to stay half a second off the pace," the 31-year-old is quoted as saying by AP. "He would have a heart attack."

Probably all true but... See below,

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
