I have a bit of a problem that I hope will be easily resolved.

First of all i'll start with my stereo set-up.

Nissan R33 Skyline GTS25t

Sony DVD Head-unit.

Pioneer 6" splits up front.

Pioneer yellow cone 6" x 9" rear mounted on spacers.

12" MTX 4500 sub in boot.

NO SOUND DEADENING.

All have been installed by myself but it has been tuned professionally. I'm an electrician by the way, so i had half a clue of what I was doing during the install.

But my main problem is I see....well actually HEAR a lot of cars go past with a LOT of bass coming from their cars. I want that Sonic BOOM feeling with my system. When I turn my system up, it sounds immaculate inside but as soon as I step outside, it rattles and shakes with only mild bass.

I have been told that it has been installed properly apart from the sound deadening, and it has been tuned to perfection.

Is it my set-up?

What about the choice of subwoofer?

Is deadening that important for this type of application needed?

PLEASE i need your help...

I've spent thousands envying those "doof doof cars" and need to solve this.

Any suggestions and ideas will be much appeciated! :(

would you like a noise ticket ($350) to go with it?? car stereo is for the driver not everyone else.

sound deadening (in your case) will not help your cause.

thanks for that...i'll keep that in mind...

although i dont have my music up that loud...

whenever i'm at a stop light i press the ATT button...but whilst driving i adjust the volume for my liking...not for others!

THANKS FOR THE HELP THOUGH....I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WILL SOLVE ALL MY ISSUES! :(

Seriously if its because u want loud noise outside the car i wouldnt bother, just makes it more of a target for theft. but let me know, ill try n help u out

Genre of music, the quality of the source (ie what quality mp3, CD, etc), speaker types, speaker locations, amp types and wiring configs, tuning of the system, etc are all things you could look at...

your problem won't be easily (or cheaply) resolved

I agree completely with the posters above - the sound inside the car is all that counts, but...

install more subs, preferably poorly designed ported enclosures for that "boom box" sound - just expect that the sound inside the car will begin to be compromised (that boomy sound is terrible)

If you want bass outside the car you need to tow a trailer around with subs in it, just like in Fat Pizza...

Why would you want more noise outside the car? Is that to annoy other people or something?

Keep the noise inside your car!

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
