With SONY as their new sponsor?

Dont want to be hating but typical Jo Saward horsesht. Runs a story that has been specifically denied by Sony. He gets about one in a hundred of these things right but it is all (At best) unsubstantiated rubbish.

Having said that sods law dictates that Sony will end up being McLarens new sponsor.

I'd rather watch R/C cars racing than than FormulaE, if that is what they are going to be like, especially with the ridiculous 100m dash that the drivers have to do in the middle of the race when they change cars after 20 minutes.

not as ridiculous as the fans being able to vote extra power to a certain car.

Think it was the weekly Sky F1 Show earlier in the year talked that Sony was a possibility when discussing the bad year they were having and chances of damaging negotiations with replacement sponsor. They were talking how the Honda deal could bring Japanese sponsors on board?!?!? Made no sense to me

And something else I stumbled across. Lotus still have not confirmed a Renault engine deal. Surely they are using one and building the car around it...but dollars from non existant sponsors etc and payments is stopping a formal deal.

I hope they are not in as bad a shape as some media outlets are saying with regards to possibly not fronting as employees still missing pay cheques :(

    • 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.
