Might be too many cars for 1 grid me thinks!

nah, most of those new teams will get knocked backs this time around. probably only USF1 make it in. and I think marco means 2010 as 2009 is half way over...

to be honest all the politics nonsense detracts from the sport, not adds to it. I like the races, the drivers, the cars and the development behind the cars. but all the bullshit arguments is boring as hell.

The 2 stooges who think they are making the sport better are actually making it worse !!!

Mosely and Ecclestone bunch of old hags should just drop dead already !!!

I seriously hope ferrari and other teams pull out if the fia have there way, then watch the viewers go down by a massive margin.

I don't see why FOTA can't replace the FIA entirely and govern the sport itself... just my 2c

Max has just nvoted them to do exatly that....and you know what, I think it would be great to see it happen. Coupled with the major teams having sister teams using the same chassis, with no testing it means the data can be shared with the sister cars....and same team/engineering costs can be shared accross two teams and sponsors and give us grids of up to 26-28 cars

Ferrari will be competitive for sure and I would like to see nothing more but I expect Brawn to be still the ones to beat.

Max thinks the 9 teams united under FOTA can break away and create their own series.... I say he's calling their bluff! Max is a fkn tosser :)

Not sure if it's been posted here but www.jamesallenonf1.com has great insight on F1, the ex ITV commentator. Never liked him as a commentator but he has some awesome opinions. I tip Red Bull for this one, but ahh so hard to fault Brawn. This season is gonna be boring soon...

practice 2 on now. Vettel has stopped on the track after damaging a gearbox or driveshaft on the kerbs.

it'll be a big job for RBR to get him back on the track and up to speed for the weekend. i presume they are keen to get data on the new aero gear so having him sit on the side of the track will be pretty disappointing for the organisation.

the track seems to be pretty green with lots of drivers going on off track safaris.

Well i need to believe that Webber is the king of understatement, so reading hsi Friday report i am thinking he has plenty of car under him and looking at a good quali run. P3 today will help paint a better picture. With Vettel's engine drama it looks like luck the past two race weekends has swung Webbers way, hopefully that equates to some momentum and Webber puts it on the front row.

No doubt Vettel is a gun qualifier, but i cant believe that Webber sint good enough to pull a lap sooner or later.

The dark horse for the weekend will be Massa, Rubens, Massa and Webber for the podium. Not sure of respective positions yet

    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
