Hey Guys,

Im looking at a setup for the '95 R33 GTST im getting

I listen to alot of r'n'b and dance/trance/hinrg mainly

I was thinking something along the lines of:

pair of 12" Subs

pair of 6x9's in the back shelf

  • 2 x 12" subs (maybe 10" if respose is better not how the rnb tunes will go)
  • 2 x 6x9's
  • 6" or 8" Splits in the door with tweet's
  • NO idea what kinda AMP(s) to run...

Basically im looking at Infinity, US Audio or JVC or a combination of all of the above (as i can get these really cheap :lol:) what are they like?

Advice would be great as im not a brain when it comes to car audio.. :( sometime in the future ill look at getting a headunit with a screen built in and prolly put my PS2 in there :) but thats a while yet... ive got a pioneer headunit from about 3 years back was about $799 RRP never been used :)

Thanks with any help guys

if you can get anything cheap go for it!!

el kamelon jvc decks are awesome ****, us audio is decent for power amps and infinity, well, theyre nice...try to get infinity amps instead of us audio, they would be tre cool

if you have subs you wont need 6x9s

check putting some splits in the rear cabin, or just some midbass, or leave the stockies

Tell me a budget (even if it's long-term)

And, how much SQ/SPL you want your system to have

ie: 60/40 SQ/SPL etc

What does that mean? SQ = Sound Quality, SPL = Sound Pressure Level (How loud it is)

With SPL comes less sound quality usually. 60/40 is a good comprimise usually.

As i said, tell me the above figures (Budget and SQ/SPL) and i'll reccomend you a couple of set-ups.

US Audio, Infinity and JVC are good brands, but they're not the best. So i'll reccomend you a few different systems once i get figures. (ie: one using mainly the brands you can get cheap, one using a bit of them brands, and another not using them brands)

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
