was expecting them to have folded by now

when was the last time anyone was seen using one (apart from, very overtly, Lewis in those promo pics)

Guess you haven't been following tech news?

They're trying to come back and investing heaps into their new phone(Has been a long time coming) which was just released in the UK, I believe.

With the current fall of apple, companies are trying to steal "back" the share of the market that was lost to apple in the first place.

I agree with the gold comment earlier.

I've never liked it.

Nico Rosberg says he had a "good feeling" about his W04 right up until an electrical problem caused the car to stop.

Driving Mercedes' new car on the very first day of pre-season testing, Rosberg's running came to an end in a fiery manner after just 11 laps.

The German came to a halt out on track during the morning's session with unburnt fuel in the exhausts igniting resulting in flames briefly licking the rear right of the car.

With a fault in a wiring loom deemed to be the cause, Mercedes called it quits for the day in order to make the necessary repairs.

But despite only having a brief run on Tuesday, Rosberg is feeling positive about his new challenger.

"At the start of winter testing, you often encounter small issues because the car you're running is a brand new design," said the German.

"We had an electrical problem this morning and, once we had found the root cause, chose to modify the parts to make sure it didn't happen again.

"Of course, at this time of year all you want to do is spend time in the car and get a feeling for how it's working, but these hiccups are just part of the game.

"During the laps I completed this morning, I had a good feeling with the car and it felt solid."

Toro Rosso are looking to change to Renault engines in 2014 in order to take advantage of their relationship with Red Bull.

At present reigning World Champions Red Bull use Renault engines while Toro Rosso, the junior team, are powered by Ferrari.

However, the Faenza-based squad is keen to swap suppliers, which would allow them to incorporate Red Bull's gearbox into their own car.

"We are in negotiations with Renault and then we will see. No contract has been signed so far," said team boss Franz Tost. "This for sure would be an advantage because if you are racing with a Renault engine we would have the same gearbox as Red Bull, because this is possible from the regulation side.

"We will use the synergies that the regulations will allow us to do."

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
