driver of the day goes to Massa for keeping it together even with all the sudden tyres changes etc and Vettel for really kicking everyone's ass in the rain. Goes to show, Vettel didn't just get lucky, he really does have some serious skills.

Will be great if Newey and the team can screw a good car together for next year. Forget Lewis., if Vettel can get himself in a decent car he will be a real class act for Lewis to compete against. I cant imagine how Rosberg must feel. He is young and already the forgotten young driver with yet another wave of guys who will be takign the seats that this time last year were being offere to him.

Heikki, time to man up and start requesting not to be the lap dog role asked for you. If you have any talent and dont want to be the new DC you need to fight the team orders like Alonso and Hamo did last year to try and seize your advantage. Being fuelled heavy every Q3 so that you never have the track position to use the car's pace....well. I am only just still giving you the benefit of the doubt :D

Glock must be the most hated driver right now, I'm sure the Brazilians all hate him, same goes for all the Italians........then the rest of the Ferrari fans around the world would probably like to string his limbs up to 4 horses and tear him apart like they do in the medival times.

Providing his helmet fits by the time next season comes around...

i'm sure they'll fit him for a larger helmet in the off season :)

now comes the depressing part- the wait 'til the first '09 race in March :D

if Glock had have come in for inters, Hamo would have finished where he did anyway, but as it stands, the deluge in the last 2 mins meant both Toyotas were massively off the pace

suck it up, tigers

timo yielded his position bit too easily imo.

however the last two laps, awesome nail biting stuff!

how does one yield when there's only a couple of corners left?.....any sensible driver would just block until the finishing line and on the wet track, drivers behind him would be equally careful.

well, bring on 09, hope we get more of this action. Haven't been this excited about a racec in a long time.

2009 changes everything. The whole McLaren better in the cold/wet | Ferrari better in hot and dry thing will be consigned to history, methinks.

The only thing that's safe to say about '09, is that the drivers that excell in the wet will be even further differentiated from the also-rans with the cars having less aero induced grip next year.

BRING THAT SHIT ON!

Lewis didn't have the best drive today, but he kept his cool. I mean shit how many of us having nothing to do with the race were biting our fingernails?

Karma for Ferarri tho, the other bs penalties that went on during the season against Lewis, but never against ferarri....

And to any Italians who had their heart ripped out this morning...

    • 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 
    • 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.
