    4Chan Amp 2Rca To Jack Ipod Install

    in Car Audio & Electrical

    Posted · Edited by Mano25det

    So i know this has probably been asked over a million times, and ive read a lot about the topic by searching forums. so this post is just to confirm what im thinking and to make sure its correct. My Headunit is a Pioneer avh-p dvd player it was quite expensive back in the day but now the touch screen is dead and its more expensive to repair it than buy a new one.. and i just bought an alpine 4chan 400 watt amp and looking to use it asap. so i was researching and apprently you can run an ipod directly to the amp via an Rca to 3.5 jack cable.

    TLDR? Ipod to 4chan Amp no headunit. So far i have all speakers wired up. front left to chan 1 front right to chan 2 rear left to chan 3 rear right to chan 4 i have RCA Y Splitters connected from 1 to 3 and from 2 to 4. then i have my Jack to rca connected to the Splitters, does this sound correct? or is there something im missing?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Yeah i just realised this, I mixed up the numbers when typing does anyone else do this lol they were 225/50/r18 my bad sorry guys :) any way i took a look and they were a cheap chinese tyre thats why they blew out. i just ended up getting some 225/40/18's they are a cheaper brand also but my last experiance with them was good. because there so cheap the rubber lasts for ever! BUT they are crap in the wet which is fine for me. Achilles is the brand i got. just for everyday driving. hopfully with a new wheel alignment i wont be getting one sided wear

    18X8 Mantis Roh Rims What Tyres For R33?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted · Edited by Mano25det

    So i've had my car for awhile now and when i purchased it i bought these 18x8 ROH Mantis Rims.

    The tyres lasted about 1-2 Years and when i got new tyres put on about 6 months later the rear drivers Blew out from the inside,. at first i thought it just required a wheel alignment, later on about another 6 months the passanger side front blew out same pattern the wire was showing from the inside under the tread, i thought the same. another wheel alignement...

    I called up to get some quotes and the guy said there is no way those tyres are on your car... i was like well im looking at it and they are

    he stated who ever put the tyres on my car have put the wrong size on. the size on my 18"rims are 255/50R18

    I have no clue what were on before when they lasted for around 2 years no problem. He stated they have probably blown out from hitting the suspension on the inside.

    Im just wondering if anyone knows what tyres should be on them because well im just after some cheapies and i wanna get them online instead of having to pay $250 each at a tyre store.

    It's still gotta be jacked up, but you don't have to remove the shock, you just take a measurement sitting on ground, wind in or out how much extra you want on the shock body then put the wheel back on and take it off the stands.

    You can adjust the camber yourself but unless you have experience doing your own alignments at home (string line etc)you'll just be guessing. Best to have that done by someone else, you can put the stock eccentric bushes at the same "point" in rotation but that doesn't account for anything that might be slightly bent on the car and beleive me it's more common than you think to have a .5 degree bend in the wheel hub carrier that throws everything out.

    yeah so i would just leave the shockie the coild overs come with in the spring and just unbolt and do back up. sounds easy. i will look into those BCBR's

    Thanks for your help mate. (gonna stick to 100mm off ground with 18's - think 100mm is still the limmit

    as per stormchaser's experience, its hard to go past BC's.

    n they are dead easy to install urself so unless your really bad with the tools its shouldnt be a problem for you. Just make sure that you can undo all of the required nuts on the current suspension (tops n bottom) in case they have been done up mega tight or seized. That way you dont end up with 2 coilovers out n then unable to get the next out n have to take it to a shop to cut the nut off....

    yeah i work on my car quite a bit but never touch the suspension side of things,

    so you an adjust the height of your vehicle from the ground yourself? that way i can install them and just get the alignment done, and about the softness? or as stated above -1 camber? can this be done yourself? im guessing with the -1 camber you can not

    Thanks again. did not want to start a new thread

    I have a 1998 R33s2 M spec ani edition, No mods done to suspension yet just have some Mantas gun metal grey ROH Rims (18's) with toyo's ( i think 225/40/r18) - could be very wrong with that size i deal with tyre sizes all day..

    any way i have put off lowering my vehicle untill i get some coil overs and i have kept spending money on other things so i have not really done the research on the matter, wondering if any one could recommend some decent coilies for just street driving no track im from QLD gold coast. - if you have a recommended installer that would help heaps also... sorry for posting before i have done any research - pic related

    Tyre Blew Out From The Inside Of The Wheel

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Hey guys, I have had my R33 s2 1998 for around 3-4 years now, And I purchased it stock, one of the first things i did was put on new wheels, I bought some RoH Mantis Gun metal grey like these http://www.bgworldwheels.co.nz/images2/mantis2.jpg

    18 inches and i have some Toyo Tyres on them i think they are 255/40/R18

    and all has been fine, i have been through some tyres before i think i have only actualy bought around 2 sets of tyres in that ammount of time but i do not drive a lot.

    So long story short. My rear drivers side tyre looks like it had been rubbing on a shockie but there is no evidence of this accept for the inside of the tyre has blown out. and this has not happend before. and my vehicle is standard height,

    I think the tyres that came with it were 255/40/R16 and the Good Year guys said they are fine for the vehicle, has any one had trouble like this?
