Hey everyone,

I am after some advice on what i should do with my audio system in my R33 S2. currently i know little about whats in it, i'm pretty sure that it is stock speakers, and i don't even know what size they are. I really want to hang onto my stock head unit, as it takes up a pretty big space and i don't want any gaps in it if i were to change head units.

I am mainly looking at changing the speakers due to poor sound and bad vibration when the bass is up. i practically have to have the bass off completely to listen to the thing. now i don't want to spend heaps on it, and i don't need it to be the best audio system in the world, i just want it to sound good and not rattle and vibrate when the music's up.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks guys

My 2c.

Firstly ditch the factory head unit. Low quality output and amplification is not helping your cause. An aftermarket headunit would sound a lot better and give you preouts for amplifiers, plus if you get the right installer they should go in with no gaps.

2nd - Get a 4 channel amp, front splits, rear 2 ways, sound deaden the front doors and rear shelf, this will improove bass response, possibly have a look at my favourite product right now, Fusion, 4 channel - ppam8004. front splits ppcm65, rear two ways ppfr652

3rd - if steps 1 and 2 arent floating your boat yet, add a sub and amp pack, a single 12 with a good mono block will do the trick, it will also mean that you do not have to try to make your 6" speakers produce bass and can highpass them ( take the bass away) effectively meaning you can run the speaker harder, get more volume and with the sub not loose bass. Try the Fusion pp-112pk

Hope that helps

in the case wen u want to run a sub and amp too what do you hook the monoblock up to? the 4 channel or the hu?

from what i gather it goes like this:post-30915-1166193312.jpg

is what i have in black correct? or is it red or blue?

p.s that pic is an extremely accurate diagram of my knowledge of car audio.

p.p.s what is the diff b/n the two amps?

Edited by Basti

Basti, the black arrows are the correct one. also need to include battery/power source and you'd be sweet.

a monoblock is a term for a "single channel amp"

the core difference between a 4 channel and a monoblock (aka single channel) is effectively how many channels/speakers they can amplify.

4 channel = 4 speakers

monoblock = 1 speaker (sub)

then you have bridging, where you short two of the channels together to make one channel (so a 4 channel into a 3 channel). when you bridge two channels together this bridge will have a higher power output (1+1 rule sort of applies) normally around double the original - give or take. bridging is normally so you can make more power to run a sub off the bridged channels.

not all amps can be bridged (most 4 channels can nowadays), and it is a cheaper alternative to PJ's step 3. on a mates car i did a similar setup and instead of buying a monoblock we bridged the 4 channel for the sub and ran the rear speakers off the headunit for fill.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
