Do you have a need for a complete system all in one brand, or are you willing to mix and match to get the best value for your money? This is personally the way I went - I'm pretty happy with it and none of the items are of the same brand.

Well i doubt its "shit" and will sound fine.. just for similar money spent on other components you would probably get a better overall result. I used to have some Sony stuff in old cars, but wasn't ever that impressed. I'd always get into my mate's Alpine system car and could immediately hear the difference.

Most of the effort with Sony stuff these days seems to be in the design/aesthetics rather than the actual quality..

But horses for courses, its depends whether a person is one that notices those smaller details (or cares), or just wants a nice system to listen to each day at a reasonable price.

predator666 is right, i had some sony splits in my first car and as soon as i got into my mates car with pioneer splits i could hear the difference so clearly. i could have had the same speakers for the money i paid on the sony's and as a consequence i won't get sony car audio products again.

well admittedly i've never been in a demo car ... but i've been to most shops and talked to many friends who are audiophiles .. i got one friend with probably 4k of sound system in his integra ... i have not had one of them recommend pioneer except for head units so i can only go by what i've been recommended .. also of all the speakers i've auditioned in the shops .. i have to say that none of them has impressed me ... nothing like focals or eclipse ... i was lookin at a hot 4s magazine the other day and i saw some review of splits which costs from 1.5k to 3k .. WTF?? i guess everyone has their own tastes ...

they are nice speakers for the front i agree :)

if i didnt have pioneer i would def go for these HOWEVER!

my system is worth over 4k.... but that isnt the point.. i agree that everyone has their own tastes however if you havent experienced the top of the range blah blah blah everything cheapish will sound unappealing. :) rock on :D:)

my system is all pioneer. if you have a listen and tell me mine is shit i will sell it straight away and buy whatever you recommend ;)

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
