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!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
