Yeh, i think Webber has been so desperate for points and results he now drives pretty conservative, unlike when he first arrived at the door of Williams. I think he was overly aggressive at Williams, now a tad too careful at RBR. Hopefully he will come alive with a quick team mate. He showed in Japan with Massa that he doesnt like losing his lazy point, even to the Ferrari that was way quicker. The dog still has some bite :P

Come on Webber! Here is your chance to make believers of us and ruin another hotshot young guys career :)

50 million bucks a year to dick around in an f1 car for 8 months?

you couldnt wipe the smile off my face

lol dick around; because driving an f1 car is a walk in the park and you dont need to be fit at all or know what your doing.

right is gas, left is brake; the circle thing u turn

Webber will get his ass spanked by Vettel without a doubt. As said above Webber is content on just finishing races then blaming the poor performance or bad strategy and with DC nowhere to be seen (back of the field) nobody could say otherwise.

Next year with Vettel showing the true pace of whatever RBR has to offer, Webber will have to lift his game or his career will be the same as Button's (only has a seat because he is well known, not because he is fast).

yeah I think ben is a tad bitter. don't forget webbers mighty jaw is practically burting with talent. there is no doubt in my mind he is well inside the top half of the grid pace wise. and in fact he qualifies up there even in the rubbish cars he's had over the years (jag front row anyone....?). he may be a bit down and lacking a bit of motovation right now, but there is always a chance that a young fast team mate will light his fire again and get him pushing hard for results again.

sure it was an odd race but I will never forget him driving his minardi to 5th place in melbourne 2002. I was there to see it and even now i almost get a bit teary just thinking about what an effort that was. when he came and stood outside his pit garage with the aussie flag after the race you would have been able to hear the fans standing around there from the moon!

Webber with Vettel, bloody brilliant pairing, now we will see how good RBR really is. Not that we don't know already in 2008 they have been shit, despite the Webber knockers ignoring Coulthard's results as an indicator.

I'm not bitter at all, Webber + RBR just fail to capitalise on races where some of the top runners have problems (penalty, retirements or wet weather) when he should be claiming a 5th or 6th, not battling for 8th or 9th like he does every other week.

Next year we will see if Vettel was fast only because of the Ferrari TR or if he genuinely has pace which will also allow us to see if Webber is being held back by RBR or if RBR is being held back by Webber.

marco, what does the mechanic say to massa's family before he rages out and headbutts the wall?

"HAHHAHA FCKN ROFL DUDE, LIKE.... LOL MAN! FELPIE LIKE SO LOST LIKE... KTHNXBAI!" :D

nah he said fatto putana talking about hamiltons 'girl'friend....

also, my biggest dissapointment of the race was that coulthard didn't get to finish and rip up some heli's! his interview was great. He said "mainly I'm just bummed that I didn't finished as I had planned some massive burnouts. we get fined for it but I figured since it's my last race I'd go out in style". nice work DC. bringing doughnuts to the people. so lame these days that the winner doesn't get any victory doughnuts (except in camp car and nascar).

    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I elongate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for?   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance
