interesting that ol mikey sent his missus down to the local kinkos to photocopy the ferrari docs... lol. he really has a bit to learn about industrial espionage.

right! what a knob.

and i have a juicy little IP that shows up a name related to mikey poo on the testimonials of a certain photocopying company..

click here for a giggle..

According to BBC and F1live...

US GP has been axed, effective from 2008 onward....

Bernie... What a bastard....

Lets have 2 Spanish GP's because everyone has an Alonso fetish and let us completely f**k off Hockenheim, Imola, A1 Ring and Indi and let us go to bum f**k places like Singapore, India, Dubai and Russia that no one really gives a shit about....

well she should have bought a copier for home too, instead of just buying up equipment for tyrell.

Right. And look what happened to Tyrell!

...dare i say McLaren in the same sentence?? How many women does it take to bring down a great man.....?

ONLY ONE.

US grand prix at Laguna seca FTW!

F1's in the corkscrew!

And with the whole mclaren vs ferrari thing, there is one thing I do not understand.

IF McLaren were using and benifiting from ferrari's design, why oh why were they beating the p!ss out of them on the track? Surely the only reason you'd copy another design is if it would make the car go faster? Why copy a slower car?

And if they somehow managed to find a benefit that Ferrari overlooked, well then they just refined the engineering better.

Still, if they allow this sort of thing now, it could green light even more espionage, and we all know that this has never happened before :)

you said exactly what i was thinking months ago ...yet in laymans terms..

I'm quite proud of being a brutal pragmatist... A tree if a tree and a rock is a rock.... No need to mince words...

Btw, what happened to Tyrrell? I was probably not around... Does it involve Harvey Postlewaithe (sp?) and the late 80's design... The car Jean Alesi drove at the Phoenix GP with that revolutionary front nose/wing??

From what ive been told and what ive read, Coughlan and Stepney were planning to take the data and other members and defect to honda wherein, they would create a F2007-esque car. It has backfired on all players except one....Honda. They were smart enough to cover themselves and once the proverbial hit the fan, they succinctly pleaded innocence and ignorance towards the whole deal..as well they would mind you..

I disagree with you. The ferrari is the technically superior car, notwithstanding the bridgestone tyres its shod with. Again, its not so much what McLaren has to gain but Honda...

This has happened many times before too..do you not remember 2 ferrari employees only just recently being sentenced to jail time for selling ferrari secrets to toyota/??

sounds like you were around and so was I!

Tyrell was bought by BAR in 1998 and never looked like the team it once was..

that tyrell your talking about, the 19, was what we have become used to in modern F1..without ken, well...who knows what would have happened. Postlethwaite was a key to the design of that car as you may well know.

Alesi was a bloody hothead and Nakajima was a boat anchor the 19 didnt need..

shame really. if they had a diferent set of drivers in that car, who knows where tyrell would be right now.

There were some shocking Japanese drivers throughout the 90's...

Nakajima... Katayama (Truth be told though, you need courage to drive with a tumour on your spine though).. Shinji Nakano... Tora Takagi....

I wasn't around at the time though, I've just come from a family that love motorsport... The number of times I've seen that clip of Alesi harrying Senna I couldn't tell you... Typical 'tifosi' I am, but I still love F1 as a sport, but I'm having trouble getting over Schumacher... I'm getting withdrawal symptoms without constant exposure to that chin/jaw...

how ironic that this dame worked at tyrell and bought copiers for tyrell and tyrell are the only F1 team to be excluded from F1. and now she is pinned doing hubbys dirty work whilst he's working at mclaren, photcopying docs, and they now stand to be the second team ever to be excluded.

i must say though that to me it's just typical sensationalist crap from the media. no way will FIA exclude mclaren. maybe a big fine, and they may even make them sit out 1 or 2 GPs (which FIA will love as it'll spice up the WDC and paint hamilton and alonso as the underdogs) but they wont bar them from the season.

The race you are thinking of was in the US from 1990, Pheonix, I believe. To be honest I cannot remember if the Tyrrell had the anhedral/dihedral (can't remember which is down) front wing at that race. It was introduced that year, but not in the first few races I think.

If you want a proper example of a team being fkd over by the FIA have a look at what they did to Ken in the mid eighties. Made up some seriously dodgy allegations of him using illegal fuel so they could make everyone run turbo motors. It was nothing short of a disgrace.

I don't think you can lay the blame for the teams long term demise at the feet of the Japanese pay drivers. Tyrrell had their last good chance to make an impact when they scored Honda V10 engines (when McLaren went to the V12's in '91) and had Stefano Modena driving for them. They had good sponsorship from Braun, but unfortunately the Pirelli tyres combined with the new motors heft made them uncompetitive in a year when they needed to reestablish themselves. After that they never had the money to return tot he top levels.

Winkelhock gets Albers seat apparently......for the Nurburgring at least.

albers was dropped plenty ago. Klien had a test recently and didnt fare to badly but they still have Karthikeyan and Winkelhock to evaluate..

it means dick all..it still just a lowly Spyker seat anyway and this years car is an utter dog so i dont really see it as anything geting excited over..

the person who gets the seat will have to jockey with S.A to get any prime time anyway and that wont be much!

Geez.....someone got out of the wrong side of bed. I think everyone was well aware Albers was dropped a while ago but as his replacement was still up in the air when I read news that Winkelhock was fairly certain for the seat I thought I might share.

sorry! did i come across a bit too strong..??

gomenne!

i still stand by my opinion on Spyker...not necessarily related to your post..dont take it personal!

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
