Interesting you say that. I am now reading on forums etc that Rosberg turned up his engine in Bahrain and in Spain Hamiltion turned it up to keep him behind. Everything I have read from Lower and Toto suggests that it was only Hamilton that played with engine spec against teams instructions. In Bahrain Rosberg was able to do so as it was his strategy to do it at that part of the race...so wasnt disobeying the pit wall in doing so. Seems Lewis saying Noco did the same thing in Bahrain is what people are remembering....and that is a statement out of context

Does anyone have a link that confirms Nico disobeyed the pit wall in Bahrain?

However, Wolff revealed that the tension dates back to the epic battle between the two in Bahrain where Rosberg was using engine modes that Hamilton was not and then Hamilton did the same when the pair were racing in Spain in two weeks ago. Wolff played down the significance of the two incidents, but said it had added to the tension in Monaco and would not be allowed in the future.

"In the last couple of races we had some little fouls left and right, and in the team we made sure this is not happening again," Wolff said. "The most obvious bit is you can play around with the engine modes, so this is not happening ever again.

Cheers, that suggests that Rosberg may have disobeyed the pit wall. Other quotes suggested that Rosberg was allowed to be in that engine mode and Hamo didnt understand why Rosberg was allowed to use a different setting...seemingly associated with Rosberg running the more conservative tune when on the harder tyre.

I recall thinking that was odd as if my memory serves me right comign down to the last laps in Bahrain Rosberg had used more fuel so didnt really support he had been in a more conservative engine setting mid race

Yeah certainly sounded a little but suss. Every other time they'd choose to come out last so that they can shut the car down early if they aren't going to be beaten so as to save the tyres, etc.

It's going to be an interesting run into turn one. I think that if homo can get in front into turn one he will lead from start to finish. I don't think britney has the overall pace that homo does, he just managed to turn it on for 1 lap

yeah definately he was so close with a couple of mistakes, so yeah rosberg's gonna have to pull something out of his arse....

hamo has said going out last was prob not a good idea getting caught up in traffic....

maldanado reprimand for not putting his steering wheel on...

hopefully williams can have a good race!

Disappointing for Williams. I think Perez was at fault but Massa showed today that he is past his best and really should have got the job done as soon as he arrived on the bumper of Vettel. Cant help but wonder the 2012 Williams would have had if they kept Rubens and this year if they had someone like Romain

Funny to see Button in 4th...the guy is quick for one stint in 6

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
