I have the Jaycar 4x130

Lots of power but the sound quality sucks nuts compared to my Kicker amps.

I am selling the Jaycar soon and getting a larger Kicker to replace it as my front splits sound like ass running off the Jaycar.

Jay Car Amps

G'day the question which i would like to ask is what is everyones opinion on jay car amps, Are they worth paying so much money? and are they of a quality which like Kenwood and fusion and stuff like that...

Cheers Guys and Girls

Jaycar amps are better used for running subs as sound quality is not as efficient as the better known brands, you should check out Crossfire amps they pump and produce awsum quality sound especially with crossfire splits! :laugh:

i can think of MANY brands of amplifier that are "supposedly" good that i would not even begin to pitch at the new jaycar amps. you really do need to look inside some of these mass-produced amps to realise just how far most big companies will go to increase their profit margins. and its going to get worse unfortunately...

i think the jaycar amps are about as good as they get for the money.... or you could scout around 2nd hand and buy some really nice older "less fashionable" gear really cheap!!! thats what i did! i bought my amps off car audio specific forums etc and despite mine being over 10 years old they're still considered to be pg's best-released amp (zeropoint series) they were worth like $3500ea new but i can assure you that i didn't pay anywhere near that for them! search for any old orion or ppi or phoenix gold... soundstream... great golden oldies... and lets face it who needs a warranty when you can see that you could smash them with a hammer and they wouldn't break!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
