Hey, Webbers motivation shoudl be top shelf this year. I mean the 8-10 weeks out of the car willo only focus him and make him eager to get back in the seat. Physically he may miss some conditioning from the off season testing but psychologically i think the break will be great for him.

He will ome back mentally fresh and will have a team mate ready to push him and drive him. Hopefully he is up to the challenge. If so then he will reap the rewards, if not then he will have to be content with knowing that he has had a good run, driven for Williams and has upset the apple kart on accassion

Yeah I know, he was going to have his hands full with Vettel as it was, this is only going to make it THAT much harder... After Webbo, how long till another Aussie driver gets into F1??? :blink:

They held onto Rubens and Jensen too long, should have got some young blood in there like Torro Rosso did. Had they actually got some results (instead of just being the Minardi of '08) they might have hung around longer.

So a 37 year old guy (over the hill in F1 terms), in shitty conditions, in a shitty car, scoring a stellar podium, isn't enough in your eyes?? 11 Points in what was a mediocre car just doesn't cut the mustard?? I think you are short changing Rubens there, he deserves more credit than he is due, he has always deserved more credit than he has been given. Rubens Barrichello in my eyes would be in my top ten drivers for the 2000's..

Schumi.

Alonso.

Vettel.

Mika.

Hamilton/Kimi/Massa (Can't decide order yet).

Rubens.

Montoya.

DC/Webber (can't decide who takes #10).

Still... GO RUBENS! I HOPE YOU'RE STILL THERE IN 09! STICK IT TO THE MAN!

Oh c'mon that was 1 race, Rubens and Jensen just don't have the fight in them anymore (same goes for Mark Webber) they have been around long enough and simply don't have the car under them to perform.

Honda needed someone like Vettel, hungry to perform and isn't constantly blaming front end grip or balance or tyres blah blah somebody that just puts their foot down and gets on with it regardless of the conditions.

I agree Jenson has lost heart, but I don't think the same is for Rubens..

I agree on Vettel too, after Italy he had me in shock, after Brazil he left me absolutely stunned... He made Hamilton, the new *ahem* 'rainmaster' look like he was driving a Minardi...

I think Button has given up the ghost, but i dont believe Rubens is comfortable just cruising around as he was there to pick up the peces when opportunity knocked. Button was cruising comfortable blaming the car....i dont think its a coincidence that Rubens was quicker this year.

Also, i dont agree that Webber has lost his punch. I believe he is a bit too careful in traffic these days, something that was never the case in his Jaguar and first year at Williams. But the guy had a string of strong points scoring finishes up until British GP where it all stated to go pear shaped for the team

Button gave up the ghost as soon as he joined Honda, how could you seriously live with yourself going from the front row every race with Ferrari to the back row in a Honda and still be motivated to race.

I'd rather see Webber crash out from having a go (like DC always did with his up the inside moves) than just sit comfortable in 10th and let anyone past that hangs off his rear wing.

    • 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 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
