They don't sound as terrible now that they're pushing a bit harder, still not F1 though

Just wait till the season starts. None of the drivers will use more than 70% throttle because they'll be too busy saving fuel.

I want to look forward to it, but I can't shake the feeling that Bernie has bent this formula over and is giving it the no-lube cavity search for cash. It's f**ked. Gimmick ideas like DRS to "make a better show" - gay. No refuelling on "safety" grounds yet the lack of fuel load as a strategy variable means everyone just tries to ration it. Tyres that deliberately go off and have a narrow operating window means everyone rations this too. Can't drive too hard - can't afford the fuel bill or to have the tyres go off.

JAS-25T you better upload that 2004 vid before I slit my wrists, this season is depressing and it hasn't even started yet :P

Just over 2 weeks until Melbourne...

Watching them cruise around slowly, conserving fuel, is going to be hard going.

Practice 1,2,3 at turn 1-2 will be the highlight IMO the rest is shaping up like a solar car challenge.

I cruise around slowly conserving fuel for work, and i gotta tell ya... it blows

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
