anyone do competition..


Recommended Posts

ive done a few not real big comps in my 33, got a good set of 6 1/2 inch splits in he front, and 6 by 9's on the rear shelf that will soon be traded for some good 6 inch speakers all run by an overly big amp, the imaging is great, i am soon to buy another set of splits for the front doors and make some custom pods and up grade the bass side of things, and a crossover will also be used when i do this. Its entered in a sound off in two weeks but im not expecting to place as its more an sq set up. I am also enterd in an SQ comp in about 4 weeks, ill u all know how i go.

yeah, it has 6 1/2" splits in the front, no rear fill dont need it. 2 15" in the boot.

it has unreal clarity, tonal balance and sound stage etc. but that chick in the image projection track can be rather FAT at times... :lol: (scored well last show, i spent longer tuneing it this time).

got 2/ 1st and 1/ 2nd out of the three SQ comps it has been in so far though.

like to hear about everyone elses system/set-up etc.

I'm currently installing a system I hope will be S.Q. competition standard when finished. I don't know if I'll compete because there don't seem to be any comps near where I live and I don't get the time to travel.

I'd like to hear peoples ideas on how different speaker locations sound in the R32 as I haven't decided what to use for F.S.

im in the process of installing mine so yer im up for competition once its in, im puttin in

2 alpine type r 12'' subs

2 pioneer 760w amps,

1 jaycar 4x100wrms amp,

kenwood 300w 6x9''s,

apline 160w 6'' splits.

so hopefully that will be good to start with but if not i can always progress up the lader and upgrade.

cheers...

if you want save some $$ you dont need rear fill (6x9's) if you are going for sound qaulity competitions. depends how you tune it, but rear fill other than your subs will stuff up your imageing and sound stage points.

make sure you take some pics dude. judges like a detailed intall portfilio, specially showing the things that you cant see..

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
