my space saver is gooooooooone

I have spare rims and tyres though for different events, so worst case I would leave the car where it is and go and get the spare rims and tools to jack the car up and put them on... Normally requires a friend or two as well... Hasn't happened yet but it wouldn't be that big of a deal for me...

as Jack said......you dont have to ditch the spare or jack, just be more creative in the install and at least carry a can of "fix a flat" stuff

I hate depending on others if my car gets a flat and certainly dont want to leave it on the road to go get help while the crims get leasure time for parts stripping.

  • 4 weeks later...
I've just finshed installing a set of new Boston PRO60 SE's in my R34 in Bi-wire/bi-amp formation and they sound fantastic. With over 70rms delivered to each woofer and tweeter in the car the sound stage delivers sounds I NEVER knew existed in songs! Surely worth the 1k or so they are worth

Next is to replace the subs I blew - Who knew you could actually blow 1000wrms subs!

Quality is always worth paying 4 isn't it, wait till you hear the sound guy or producer through the singers earphones

I asube by Bi-wire you mean one amp for left chanel and one for the right. I had my old civic (EZB00M 4 the old Central coasties) setup like that an I loved it. Will never mix my lefts and rights again...

and yes a 10W amp can blow up a 100W sub, seen it done. How you say .... DISTORTION, without going into the dynamics of cone movement vs Electrical input, distortion = heat, heat in subs and heat in amps. nasty nasty stuff....

Im plan'n one a stealth install as I drive mine daily and have little kids, I'm thinkn of a pair of 10" mounted where the back doors normally go (r33 coupe) in a glass box. does anyone know if theres any gear in there already.

Maybe whent the kidz get a bit older I bight think of a trio of 15z, hehe just dreamn

P.S.

not pickn onya mate, its a common misbeleif. Caps are not useless, ... unless you don't need one that is!

So what does the cap do... easy fills in the transients. that is to say when a base beat hits hard, your amps pull lots of current, that current heats up your 0,2,4 guage cable, raising its resistance theirfore raising the voltage LOST over the cables (+ & -). that means less fuel 4 the amp,

the other advantage of a cap is speed. Batery can only put out so much current so fast (see CCA rating) caps are so much faster at this

so @ the end you get slightly more power to the subs(less voltage lost on pwr cables) but mostly more punch/impact from those big suddden hits ( easiest to notice with songs with lots of drums)

speaking of the old girl some quick details

2 x Alpine MRV F400's one left chanel one right ( both in bridged mode)

2 x 12" alpine ZR subs

5.25 MB quarts, up front run of amp

4" Pioneer in rear of deck(also cut cap in tweeter to disable) I like my sound from the front of the car... just my preference, afterall I don't go to a live gig and stand with my back to the band

1farad cap

R34 coupe has enough room if you do some metal cutting of the main body shell, which is defect in adelaide and most likely with ADR , everwhere ?

the volume is roughly enough for a sealed box sub depending on how crazy you go on remolding your rear panels , you could hide 8" or 6.5" and use factory panels with some retrim for the sound to get out.

ps. Hint if you own a R34 the steel panels behind the rear seat and in the rear sides are crazy heavy ...lol

the same thickensss Carbon fibre laminates save a ton of weight and are 5 times stronger then steel

without the rear one your rear end chassis flex will be noticed, I tested it in a very basic way..lol

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
