dude did the unit you bought of this seller come with the ipod cable or do i have to source that somewhere else? because i thought it was included

no it wasnt included.. ive got an ipod FM transmitter anyways so it serves the purpose.. besides the aux in port is in teh rear for this one so bit of a bitch finding a good place to dock the ipod. still i reckon its worth the price without the ipod cable.. if i am not mistaken u can get them off ebay for $35 for so.

I'm in some serious need of help in regards to buying speakers for my R33, as I simply understand nothing about car audio. I also dont want to spend much money

I currently have sitting around:

JL Audio W6 sub (boxed)

Audiobahn A4075HCT amp (4ch, 4x75wRMS, 2400w ACH power)

Sony Xplod head unit (not sure what model cost about $800 3.5 years ago)

I need to buy some speakers (front and rear) to go with ths setup, and I have no idea which ones to go for. But I would like to keep the stock mounting point, no bulges or anything. I use to have some MB Quarts speakers before but not anymore.

Please give me your ideas on speakers, also what they would cost.

Got a question. Iv got component speakers for the front, and normal speakers for the back, all 6 inch. Got a sub and a monoblock amp also, all soundstream. I need an amp i guess for the speakers. Question is :

1) Can i connect the component speakers to the amp or no need ?

2) what type of amp do i need, in terms of 2 channel, 4 channel ? and how many watts am i looking at. I prefer a soundstream amp also.

hey guys,

Lookin at buying a soundsytem when i sell my car and get a new one. Lookin at either Soundstream or Rockford Fosgate. Wanting to do the whole car in one brand including: 2x 12" subs and of course the amplifier, 2x 6x9's in parcel shelf, and 6.5's in the doors with tweeters. looking at around 400RMS per sub. wanting really good quality loud music with some good bass, haha u know what i mean. any input or other recommendations would be great, so let me know what u think :D.

go infinity.. you wont go back.. it goes really loud but clean sound..

make sure is the top of the range..

you rekon thats better quality than top soundstream or rockford? price range is high so throw me any brands :D

Challenge for those in the stereo know.

I am after a in built GPS with flip out screen + CD etc. Pioneer make as good one but it is 2 DIN size.

I need one only 1 din size. I've found Ebay no name ones, but map updates are most important adn so is quality.

Any suggestions?

cant do flip out easily as one unit. pioneer have just release the AVICHD3 that does EVERYTHING.

in kenwood - the flipout screen and GPS module would be the go. not much change from $3k for the D3 and $2.3k for the kenwood setup.

steer clear of ebay :)

so what budget, car and music do I have to work with here. how loud do you want/listen to it.

I can do a RF system that will knock you socks off but you need to give me a starting point. suggestions would be at least $3k to do it right.

im jus curious to see what people's opinions are on the Best quality sound that will really pump. i have a cousin who can get me what i want, so pretty much any brand at any price to go in my R33. probably leaning towards soundstream cause it looks better, and has the good sound. thanks though, i appreciate ur help

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
