XrSist, you can pick up a 13 inch Focal from as little as $585

So, not as unaffordable as you would expect....

And, I have just decided that all skylines australia members can have 10% discount. How does that grab ya?

ive used about 50 kgs of sound deadining in my 33, I used the tar matting from fusion and heaps of dacron (that fluffly white material that the line the inside of sub boxes with - i think thats its name anyway). As its non turb's :D:mad: (i know i know) weight wasnt really and issue so i spent about 3 days doing the whole interior/boot and all. It ended up costing about $350-$400, but now i see it as money well spent. It took ages, but the difference is incrediable, now i can hear hardly any road noise, and the car is quiet as (except for the exhaust which is f#$king loud - not a bad thing tho).

I got pics of the whole process it you want to see it go to http://members.cardomain.com/crazyfcuk

As for subs, i recommend you listen to either subs from the powerplant or johah lomu series, ive used Fusion gear for 3-4 years now and swear by it. Admittly Fusion gear was pretty average when it first came out but now all there gear rocks.

Id highly recomend it to anybody. and after going through about 9 different setups in my old car using fusion gear. I rate it as high as any other. My new setup (2x 15", 3x1000 watt amps, 2x1 farad amps etc...) runs hard, is crystal clear, and goes all day long.

Anyway just my 2 cents worth hope its some if any use to ya.

:burnout:

Thats one f*&ken sweet setup you got there.. If only i could

weight didn't matter.. 50kg of sound deadener. I assume you

did the doors and roof also?

I've been told FUSION subs are excellent, one company i'm yet

to look up on.

How did you do the bootlid? I've seen very dodgy and excellent

jobs done on this.

im still to finish the top of the boot, so far i used shellys space invader to seal up the gaps, and silicone to stop the boot from vibrating. Im in the process of making a custom molded vinal covered trim plate to fit over the whole of the boot lid at the moment, I am going to include a system diagram in the middle, and might put a set of 6 1/2" co-axils in as well (one either side of the system diagram) for a better sound outside the car for when its at shows etc, and when i take the car away, so i can use it to crank up sounds and still have the car closed. I'm going to try and make a switch (fitted somewhere inside the boot so that i dont have to adjust the headunit every time i want to do it)so that i can turn off all the speakers inside the car, and have only the ones in the boot running, Check back at the site soon and ill post some pics when i finish it.

just photoshop.

btw most of that **** is audiobahn.. that stuff rocks

helllloooooo 1100wrms SQ sub!

ive got the other model numbers somewhere, i cant remember em hehe.. audio system is like last on my list..

gotta get car first, and then do the engine, then the wheels, then the bodykit.. etc :D

then ill spend big on stereo

better to get it right the first time and buy quality stuff rather than buy cheap **** and replace it every 8 months.

Yes, there is a 4 model line up, and the bottom of the range has just been replaced by a range called the ACCESS line. The baskets are made of a mix of fibeglass and ABS! Pretty awesome stuff and cheaper too!

i am in Tasmania, but that is no problem a bit of freight will not fix....

I agree with ultim8DTM5, they work alright, but outright the dynamat is far better, and it goes on much neater, and looks better when its finished.

All it does is add extra mass to the existing structure thus dampening out sound vibrations, if your going to use some thing that you want to spray on, id recommend some sort of space invader (i think it works out cheaper as well, but dont quote me). I dont know if you guys have Shellys products over there but if you do try theirs. Its messy as to work with but it does the trick for hard to reach places (in the boot lid in those little gaps between the support and the sheet metal). And achieves the same end result.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
