bloody heck

please stop, you're scaring the children guys

looks like the MP4-27 will get a lot of air-time this season, seeing as it's the only palatable design so far

p.s no-one in that Force India pic seems to be too happy about appearing next to that abortion

i know it seems like im just having a dig because the ferrari company is just such a bunch of cocksuckers, but im trying to be serious here

that is by far the ugliest car i have seen in decades... the williams walrus, can now be peacefully forgotten

who... how has thing thing... what?!

its almost like they're taking the piss

i dont even know what to say

just a thought...

look, I'm no bonafide aerodynamicist or nuffin', but I'm assuming the point of all these 'step nose' designs is to increase the aero load over the front axle(?)

how exactly does that help the oft mentioned 'front-to-rear' aero balance when the departure of EBD has come at the cost of a whole chunk of rear downforce disappearing? the rear wing's no bigger after all... ?

holy shit its ugly from all angles

merely following company policy in line with all recent road models- 599 GTB, 612, California, FF (dopey looking bread van); All complete mingers

the only one that just bucked the trend is the 458

look, I'm no bonafide aerodynamicist or nuffin', but I'm assuming the point of all these 'step nose' designs is to increase the aero load over the front axle(?)

I hypothesized that earlier and was going to make up a 3d model and test the difference, but haven't had time.

From my basic aero work i would think so, the steeper the better as it would create a positive pressure just in front of the front suspension

although they aren't utilizing the advertising space on the front of the 'step nose'

surely just running a bit more angle of attack on the front wing aerofoil elements would be a less retarded solution??

I reeeeally hope (as I suspect it won't) this doesn't turn out to be a successful design feature

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
