yeah you can get them repaired, but the repair will cost more than a $89 sub.. or at least veryt close too it if your lucky... i owuldnt bother personally.. and some of those pioneer subs go quite hard... depends what your expecting really... have a listen to them beofre you buy and see if they meet your requirements... but one thing to keep in mind... if your burning out voice coils you may want to look at why before you sink any big money into another sub (i.e not enough power from amp or running excessive power etc etc..)...

cheers,

You can never have too much power :lol: just turn it down before it distorts, as an aside, if you have a dual coil sub, run them at 4 ohm - running at 2 & 1 ohm is for competitions, it heats up your amp and cabling and effectivly gives you the same sort of power with reduced lifespan from your equipment :huh:

unless your emotionally attached to that sub for some reason, just go get a new one, ne that can handle the power of your amp... you will thank yourself for it... (buy in RMS, and buy a little under what the amp is rated at, but no more then say 50 watts...)

ive rooted voice coils before, i think ive rooted subs in every way. I once ran a sub so hard that the wires that took the power to the coil actually snapped! due to excessive movement. i thought it was pretty impressive, and a bloody easy fix too...

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
