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?

woohoo benefits!!!

10% off wholesale?

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.

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.

    • If you've been mucking with vacuum lines, start there, and check you have your vac line on properly, and on a vacuum line that isn't flowing air, it's just a vacuum source.   When you measure your fuel pressure, are you measuring absolute fuel pressure, or gauge pressure compared to the inlet manifold?
    • That last number you quoted is right about where I'm stuck, pretty spot on. Now let me share some of my Dyno results. Stock cams, stock fuel pump, stock MAFs, stock injectors, same exhaust and everything else oh yeah I forgot to add tomei FPR, intake cam advanced 2 notches, exhaust retarded 1 notch. Let's call this Dyno 01.  
    • @Murray_Calavera I forget but it's well within the duty cycle limits, my tuner is probably the only guy I trust locally to tune, definitely not the best but with his knowledge and experience, definitely the best here IMHO. He said it's the most he could get out of it on the last session (cam change) and increasing the boost wouldn't give much more gains. Yeah, definitely plan on upgrading to Link G4X or similar but I'd like to max out my setup first which I believe many have done so around 500hp.
    • Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.
    • Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way!
