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! :(

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!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
