fosters??!! :D

who in the world drinks that abomination?!

Richard, shame on you.

that was my point. they sponsor the GP. hence it's the only beer you can buy there. hence the prefix "farken".... :P

and sav man is right. get through the first half dozen in a hurry and you are set.

plus I kind of like it now. it's almost tradition as it's the only time of year I ever would drink a fosters. weird.

Well its a screwed up tradition Richard, that should be abolished.

For one, i would rather go sober and drink Gatorade all day than be cornered into drinking from a choice of 3 of Australia's worst drops - Fosters, VB and Crown lager and THIS at a supposed first class sporting event.

Someone mentioned Coopers? Ahhh, yes. Now THAT'S more like it.

Seriously but, you would think that at a world class event like the F1 WDC they would have something a little better to serve up than cat piss.

For heavens sakes James Boag, get your fricking act together.

"The reason why we are losing the bloody GP is because there isn't any bloody Tasmanian beer at the bloody circuit!"

( You could make a commercial out of that line :D )

Sorry. It is...

No James Boag? No race for you, sir. :)

At least in Suzuka i got to drink Asahi and Kirin which is leagues ahead in taste and body compared to what has previously been mentioned.

Getting tanked up before the event seems the only feasible option in Oz in this day and age, what with the beer they're serving from the taps...

Beer is beer is beer is beer. Some taste better then others, but they are all good. If you would rather drink Gatorade at an Australian sporting event ????

At least at the F1 you get full strength beer, at the footy/cricket you can only get mid strength beer. Which who gives a damn if they rob you of a few percentage points, light beers do lack the flavour of the full strength beers.

Would i rather drink mid strength beer then Gatorade at a sporting event out in the summer heat? MY BLOODY OATH!!!!

well said troy. I don't go to the F1 to enjoy a fine beverage. I go to the F1 to watch the F1, getting smashed is just incidental to that. not the main event. If I wanted to drink lots of fancy beer I'd be going to the fancy beer festival instead. so yeah, fosters is crap, but polishing a few off at the F1 with some mates is most enjoyable.

Hmmm just got a call from the missus.

My father inlaw wants me to go melbourne with him to watch the F1 in the ING box.

to go or not to go................

:P

Like theres even an option to say no. :D

hmm- looks like a stalemate has been reached

He again poured cold water on efforts by NSW to steal Melbourne's thunder.

"There is nothing in Sydney -- they haven't even got a circuit," he said.

what's Eastern Creek then? A walking track??

well if we want to be technical neither does melbourne. they run the F1 on a road course. no reason why sydney couldn't do the same. but if anything our state government is even more packed full of weiners so I can't see it coming to sydney.

looks like we have 2 more melbourne GPs to go :(

If the only problem that Bernie and the Victorian government have is that they don’t want the first race of the year to be in the middle of the night for their European audience, why not just move the Australian GP to the fifth, tenth or sixteenth race on the calendar?

Surely the fact that this country draws bigger crowds and more hard core fan base than most of these pseudo new F1 tracks is reason enough to keep it

Or how about Bernie stop being be such an Ebeneezer-Scrooge-style tight prick, and give the Vic Govt a reduction in the cost of hosting the event so they can cover the extra cost of all the lighting equipment needed to run the race at night?

Sydney doesnt even have a track? What about the alternate Russian venue...thye have to build one up :P

There was talk about Phillip Island getting a licence to allow F1 teams to come here in our summer (their winter) for testing purposes before the Aus/Malaysion GPs etc. I woudl love to see F1 cars at Philip Island. Surely Fox woudl love it as well, and it would make the event cheaper to the Vic govt by staging it at a permanent track... It seems easy to me :D

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
