Was bound to happen, remove TC and watch the drivers actually drive the cars. You could hear on corner exit some drivers spinning the rears and it made for an expected exciting race.

I wonder if Webbers car was damaged enough to remove it from the GP or if the team just decided not to go back out on track. Had he gone back out on track he probably would have finished in the top 10.

Gotta love DC's bluntness :thumbsup:

"If he doesn't then I will kick lumps of sh*t out of the little bastard."

Funniest quote by an F1 driver since Kimi's "i was taking a shit" comment :laughing-smiley-014:

great race :D F1 is starting to look great again, alots of mistakes making for an interesting race.

getting rid of traction and launch control was an awesome idea. nice to see the cars getting squirelly out of corners occasionally

i was surprised they have done a half decent telecast all week end (even if they didn't show the GT's **where the Ferrari's dominated**) and leave out the post race conference??

DC is always a good source for quotes

well...kimmi was a constant source of disappointment today.

Bourdais was awesome, Fernando Whinger was good to watch and the two McLaren was did well.

Kimi had his moments but his car let him down in the end :thumbsup: good to see he can fight his way to the front , even if he lost it again

For me, this was the most enjoyable F1 race I've seen in a long time. A mate introduced me to a F1 tipping comp (for want of a better word) you get $100 million budget to select two drivers, cars, engines froM the current line up and go racing. iT's a lot of fun.

great race :) F1 is starting to look great again, alots of mistakes making for an interesting race.

good work to Hamilton, i don't like him personally but he drove a good race and deserved to win :)

Good work to Alonso fighting to the end and taking 4th place with what looked like a slower car, GOO HONDA! awesome work to score some points!

what can i say about Ferrari? looks like a difficult year ahead :) pace seems to be their but both drivers seems to have problems with the car :)

one down 17 to go bring on next week in Malaysia, hope the heat didn't kill the Ferrari engines or else they are going to have problems again :(

Kimi's engine was rooted...must've dropped a cylinder because it sounded like shit everytime he came past, but he kept it out there for a few laps sounding like shit before it wouldn't go any further...

I wonder if Webbers car was damaged enough to remove it from the GP or if the team just decided not to go back out on track. Had he gone back out on track he probably would have finished in the top 10.

Quite an achievement finishing in the top ten when 7 drivers cross the finish line...

Funniest quote by an F1 driver since Kimi's "i was taking a shit" comment :laughing-smiley-014:

Funniest quote would have to be DC last year when he said something along the lines of (on team radio whilst driving) "The brakes are shit, the tires are shit, and it doesn't turn, but apart from that I'm having a great time"

If he had finished he would have been in the points

Yet another amazing achievement with 9 drivers classified, with 2 of those not crossing the finish line...

Still better than parking it in the pits all afternoon.

Too get points he has to be 'classified' (90% of total race distance) so he never would have got any points (would have needed to complete atleast 52 laps and he would have finished 50 at most). But still finishing 10th or so is better than finishing 17th.

poor webbo. if only he'd kept his nose clean he would have been able to snatch some point in a race that only saw 7 finish and 9 classified. DC's quote was gold. as was louise with "thanks for that language David". nearly as good as "he f*cked up" from webber in japan last year.

My take on it is kimi is going to be WDC again. lousie will be close but we all know that in races like this were he has no problems and no fights he is excellent. put him under pressure though and he is prone to f*ck it up just like anybody else.

Poor Webbo... Can't buy a good result at the Aussie GP (Not including 2004 here)...

Massa... What a fckng amature, the munted Brazilian nut nearly killed Coulthard... Produced an awesome one liner from David though.. :)

Kimi... Awesome but underwhelming at the same time... The Massa/Coulthard incident got me all excited, I thought it was all game from there until Kimi's nightmares started...

Gonzo... Was the surprise package of the day.... Got lucky with Kovaleinen accidentally hitting the pit-limiter button...

Poor Glock, Bourdais, Fisi and Jenson... Today could've led to much much more for these fellas that showed soooo much promise...

+1 to Nico and Nick for keeping a clean pair of heels... Nice race for these guys to grab the other podium spots..

As much as I despise him, +1 for Hamilton, drove a faultless race, imposed his will from the very first lap... An unflustered and very clean drive from Louise..

Watch this space... M. Schumacher to replace Massa by round 4 if he keeps driving like a decrepit and spastic monkey with arthritis...

in my opionion it was Coulthard fault not Massa, Massa had every right to try and overtake DC like he did. DC didn't want to give up and try to squeeze massa back but instead ended up in the side of massa car

Well I'd say 75-25 in favour of DC.... I mean crikey.... Massa always has had a habit of making the most brazen of lunges... Often dives of desperation, and often they come totally unstuck... Now I'm an out and out Ferrari fan, but I think that Massa just isn't Ferrari material... I want to see Nico in a Ferrari suit ASAP... In fact, as much as his inconsistency pisses me off, I'd rather see Fisi in a Fezza than Massa... On the maneuver though, Massa's front tagged DC's rear, that occurred around the apex, so obviously Massa hadn't made enough ground to make the pass stick... Not only that, DC had every right to maintain the racing line, Massa was too deep and too desperate under brakes..

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
