oh crap that's massive! haha why would you need something like that!? what are you running?

the one i've put in does the job, no problems at all except when i'm pumping everything at full without the car running, but for shows i run off electricity anyways.

good luck with the rest of the install, looks like quite a task.

At the moment, pulling out about 2500wrms... could squeeze out a few more, amperage goes to 3000, but subs are rated to 1000 :( so trying not to kill them too quick (even though I have to put 1 in for repair already)

Pics are on page 2 (I suggest you check out my couch too!)

Haha yeah, I think I have a problem... all the NSW members are adament I'm spending the money in the wrong end of the car :D

It's only half built at the moment, with the battery not secured, 1 sub out, and the brain for the DVD player on my desk here waiting to go into repair... hopefully it's all back and sorted for Auto Salon...

Platinum Car Audio and Interiors in Rydalmere did the boot work (bar installation and wiring)... All that was $1400... 2 boxes part fibreglass part MDF, all covering, and amp mounting...

I'm not sure being a smart ass about month old post where I said the wrong word is totally necessary...

Headunit: havnt got one yet, thinking about the new JVC 810 model though~

Front: Kicker SS splits

Amp: JL 300/4

Rear: Infinity's (for the time being at least)

Amp: JL 300/4 (same amp powering fronts and rears)

Sub Amp: Kicker 600.1

Sub: temoprarily Pheonix Gold, thinking about changing to a Kicker Solobaric L7...

Capacitor: wat for?

Wiring: Kicker 16, 12, 4 and 0 gauge with stinger distribution blocks and terminals.

Car: R33

...main question is wat headunit and sub/subs i should get to fit into my boot and also price? the L7 would b abit different i guess seeing how not many people still use them even though theyre pretty good (bit pricier than everything too :cheers: ) how would a pair of Infinity Perfect 10's or Rockford Fosgate Punch P2's in 10's sound?...

Infinity Perfect 10's are tops mate. Had a pair of em. Check back last page for my post regarding my system. Awesome SQ, really responsive and punchy.

However;

I upgraded to the L7 10's (2 of em lol). Turn the remote wank controller right up and, in my mate's words - "Ya cant see properly cause ya eyes geel like they are gonna pop out." Massive amounts of noise for a pair of 10's. Turn the remote gain controller down and they dont quite have the same SQ as the Infinity's

L7's for Out right obnoxious ness

Perfect 10's for SQ

The guy who built my stereo was insane, he loved to spend my money and i sat back and let him .. its been redone 3 times and im still not really all that happy with it but im sick of changing it. the whole thing is large but not as loud as you would expect, as you all know skyline boots arent overly spacious so fitting 5 15inch subs was one thing, getting enough box space to run them properly was another.

Sub Amp: 2 x 5000 watt Digital Designs

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
