Any links and help to setup?

LOLOLOLOLOL

Interesting season ahead.

Perez should have won.

Damn team played him twice. No pit and wrecked his flow on the radio.

It didnt work too well for me thru out the race, p1-p3 and qualifying + the 30 to hour before the starts were fine to watch tho.

Are you on racingfor.me?? theres a thread with few bits to the program to get it to work. but its really just giving you the streams that are avaliable on the web, since most of them are just whored all over the web and each website has pretty much the same links come race time.

In this thread you will have a few options and quiet often a decent link to a stream thats working. someone recently posted a hdtv thing i am yet to try since im using a mac

Going to need to work something out soon so i can just stream skysports.. i dont mind if i have to pay for it really. but another 5 years of trying to watch it on one is going to be shithouse..

most of us would be members i'd think...

there is also something else you can look into.

i did try that hdtv player just now and it seems ok, pretty much like foxtel with every channel possible.. i ran it on bootcamp for mac (windows partition) and it threw up a few virus things, but since i dont really use windows for anything important i wasnt bothered. probably a false virus thing anyway..

bit of a harsh penalty i think but HRT should take him out every race, worth a 20sec penalty for us to loose the tool

It beats me what footage the stewards had of the contact.

the camera angle is deceptive. From the rear it looked like SV cuts across on him, from the front that's clearly not what happened.

I found a link and I have to agree that looking at it from other angles, Karthikeyan moves over. SV was slightly squeezing him on the exit and could have moved back to the right of the track.

Just watched a few vids of the incident, both on-board and front/rear views... I still think Vettel could have easily got passed him without incident.

As you exit that right hander, you immediately aim towards the right of the track to set up for the left, which is what Karthikeyan was doing. If he had have continued straight he would've been off the track.

I agree back markers should do everything to get out of the way when being lapped, especially when they're not fighting for position with any other back markers, but in this case it's not that simple given the series of corners it happened in. Karthikeyan had just been lapped by someone else mid-turn, and would have been lucky to see Vettel coming up behind him immediately after.

The penalty doesn't really matter too much in the scheme of things, but in reality Vettel had a shit load of room to the right that he could have been in, instead of leaving nothing more than a car width on a track where a wheel outside the line could end the other guys race..

you say yourself he left a car width. how much more do you want for a bloke 3 laps down?

there's no rush to get back over to the other side of the track, but even if there was, you don't move over if there's another car still alongside you! pretty simple. and that's not what Karthikeyan was doing anyway, he just tucked in behind Vettel, and even went left again after that. He was still mid track by the braking zone, and not because he was being squeezed...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
