4 I beleive. I am one of them.

What set of splits would you recommend, preferably around $600, but up to $1000 if there is a noticable difference in sound quality. Music listened to is mostly nice clear vocals, some pop, some dance, some accoustic, bit of everything.

Would it be a set of Rainbows? If so, what ones?

I think ill be the most qualified to answer that question considering i have installed and listened to the entire Rainbow range up to the Power series.

I have also installed and auditioned their complete range of woofers.

If i didnt think they got the goods, why would i spend $30k on a TT Supra and decide to order full RAINBOW set up consisting of splits and subwoofers, run of Sinfoni amplifiers and pay out of my own pocket. Normally i would have accepted the free equipment which was offered to me from various distributors but i choose to pay for class.

There are strict commercial agreements that us dealers have with the distributors thats why there is a dealer in every state and there will be no INTERNET SALES.

Trav the quality of Rainbow is well known and the distributor only wants one dealer per state that can actually install and support the product.

Hey George,

I don't disagree with you re the Quality of Rainbow gear, and I WILL be buying rainbow speakers from you, just not sure on the particular model yet.

I like to do my research using multiple sources, and speak to different people about things, to get a range of opinions & experiences. It's a bit hard to get those opinions though, because of the exclusivity of the product, and limited market share.

That's why i've asked some questions here, which I agree you would be the most qualified to answer - When I see you I'll talk rainbow rainbow rainbow with ya - but seeing what other people say too!

Chris - is it true there are only 3 dealers who sell Rainbow audio gear in Australia?

There will be another 3 dealers coming on board very soon, Audio Express i.e. Chris will be one of them, the other two are Phatt Audio Concepts in Victoria and Motoquipe in Noarlunga in South Australia.

The retailers details will go up once we have received their account applications sign sealed and delivered agreeing to our trading terms and conditions.

I guess you can always ask George to get maybe a car or two that hes installed Rainbow's in and have a listen for yourself?

By all means, buy why you feel is right for you and your budget, might be or might not be Rainbow, but George can help you out as I'm sure he has more than Rainbow he can demo for you.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
