2008 F1 Season


Recommended Posts

mmmm...i guess its still too early to say if Lewis is better or not, he did have a clean track most of the time and wasn't under pressure. Hope to see him under pressure in the coming up rounds. I think I'll retract the statement about kimmi, he went from the back to the front of the grid, so well done to him. But the two mistakes was somewhat shocking to see. Massa, well....i don't know what happened.

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"

i'm sure there's a lot of choice things said over team radio that we're not privvy to. lol

Heikki quaifying 3rd with 4 more laps juice than the guys around him was very impressive

As was Kubica qualifying 2nd despite going off the track during the lap... Would have been a storming lap time had he not gone off.

I think we can put kimis f*ckups down to 2 parts of the race. getting held up by rubens for so long would have seen his blood pressure rising a bit, and then after cutting some awesomly fast laps heiki pulls out of the pits right in front of him and then makes life very difficult. kimi obviously just f*cked it up but heiki was being a good little rear gunner for louise.

wtf was with channel 10 they didn't show the after-race thing with the 3 top drivers?

Channel 10 shoud lbe shot for their coverage. I was on the couch watching it Sunday morning and could hear the cars out the back of my palce racing...meanwhile Cgannel 10 was showing lame stories on god knows. Then every now and then they would cut to presenter and you would see GT cars etc racing in background.... only for the commentator to say we will be back with Carrera Cup shortly.

Thumbs down Channel 10...suppport the support classes. And go blood nut skin and hair in 38 deg sun :nyaanyaa:

He robbed himself (he accidently hit the pit speed limiter going down the main straight hence why Alonso passed him back)

i meant with the timing of the saftey car due to Timo's MASSIVE accident. It threw Heikis pit stop stratagy out because he was due to pit in the next couple of laps but instead had to trail the safety car around and lose track position

him hitting the pitlane limiter was his own stupidity

oh, and my boy kubica went bloody no where. not sure what the story was there. good thing I didn't put any money on the little bugger. I mean in a race that only saw 7 cars finish nearly half the finishers got a podium!

Did you charge ridiculous prices for your hotdogs too? :(

    • 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
