Twas not possible for me to tell....since everyone thinks Looey is a twat I just assumed :whistling:

Button really should run a nice long warm bath and buy a razor blade. His F1 career has been over for a season or so but hopefully this will convince him to retire and go to DTM or whatever happens when you are too slow.

ps. Kill me...Alan Jones just said "Keke" again.

hamiilton could start from pitlane depending on the rules...

he's switching from brembo pads/disc to carbon industries(which nico is running)

Except it was Kimi he was calling Keke this time

Both Finnish, both start with K. Close enough..... lol

Ch10 coveragw was worse than usual. Anyone know their FB page? Feel like a rant

lol re Alan Jones...he messes up but i still rate his insight

https://www.facebook.com/TENsportTV?fref=nf

Really? He pretty much just f**ks up everyone's name, and repeats any insight he hears from Brundle and Croft...

He always has. When he was on channel 9 (About a hundred years ago kiddies) he would routinely struggle over the names of the pay drivers from about p15 downwards. Big Darryl Eastlake had to bail him out. Which tells you just how lame that was.

Anyway a non surprise of a GP. Dan drove drilliantly, Massa fkd it up again, Kimi sucked and the Lotus' sucked unbelievably. Roy's boy to McLaren next year? MB's didnt have to go more than 8/10ths to win.

Could not quite believe how rubbish the McLaren was in a straight line. Obviously some MB engines are more equal than others. They must be hanging out for the VTEC to kick in next year.

I cant help but laugh every weekend that Button struggles and really hope that the young Dane takes it to him. Can't help but think Eric is in at McLaren saying...you know I have a brilliant young guy that will get what you need out of the Hinda-McLaren chassis. Hate to be following McLaren next year but will be better than watchign poor old Romain flounder at the back of the grid.

I like Alan Jones...i am not saying he is a good commentator...god he was awful at the Aus GP on the podium interviews...but he is a WDC, a lad on the drink and tells good tales off camera.

Cant see Lotus pulling themselves out of the shit next year - better engine aside. Its their chassis that sucks. Maldanado - why did he re-sign?

F1 needs to get the money sorted and quickly. All of the teams that should be there abouts are now struggling. ForceitIndia have lost their competitiveness, Sauber are now hopeless, Lotus are terrible, McLaren are fading.... Williams are the only ones who have stepped up and you cant help but wonder if it is because everyone else is hopeless or if it is just they are getting the (second) best of the Mercedes engines? Anyway if the midfield cant run updates because of no budgets then there isnt much hope for any of them surviving, let alone progressing. You live in hope that teams can step up but the brutal reality is they usually just dont. RedBull is the last team to do so but then they have bucketloads of cash to do so. Before that was who - Jordan or Benetton?

Crofty seems to mess up a bit as well. Talking about sutil going to overtake a Force India or something and saying 'Sutil is going to have a go at the Sauber here'

Maybe I missheard and he said 'in the sauber' but pretty sure what he actually said was that Sutil was trying to overtake himself

I'm really hoping the Red Bulls go great at Hungary, might be thier best shot now that the car seems sorted. Dan still not putting a foot wrong. Continues to impress everyone I think.

Lotus re-signed Maldonado because obviously his sponsers havent got sick of him yet...... Not sure why but anyway.

Wonder if he is still thinking it was a good decision to move from Williams to Lotus? He will stick by it, but deep down he must be thinking 'f**k, I could be crashing into front runners this year'

That car really does look awful this year, somehow every so often it looks alright but it must be so sensitive to change (FRIC being removed this weekend might show that sensitivity)

Not too suprising considering most people jumped ship last year and funding disappeard

You mean he could have been doing what Massa appears to be fixating on.

The Lotus appears to be very, very senstive set up wise. Maybe the aero is pitch sensitive or roll sensitive or they havent got their suspension sorted to keep the chassis stable.

Cant remember which car it was maybe the RedBull but it looks really odd from the in camera when the car gets turned in. Something funny about how the suspension moves, cant quite put my finger on it.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
