wats up SAU?

I am recently a new R33 owner and looking to put in some wicked audio, because it still has the factory audio deck and speakers in the car. Not great quality.

Any ideas of what people have implemented themselves or recommend?

In my first car, i was bangin (im not gonna bother putting in the spec numbers) pioneer head unit, front splits, rounds at the back. Was wicked audio but didnt get alot of power cause was runnin through the head unit.

Am looking for pioneer head unit (mates car has a pioneer one that flips out with the dvd screen- pretty pimped but fair pricey), speakers wise is up for recommendation. pioneer, kenwoods, focals? And a sub and an amp system that will run well with the power i will need, but wont break the budget. I dont mind spending more on speakers, but am just looking to get away with the basic amp and sub wise.

I listen to alot of metal/hardcore/gangster rap etc. So I need something that can take and make sound good with very low bass and heavy shit, but also rock treble frequencies that are clear enough over the low bass so they aint drowned out.

Any help or any ideas other people have down would be appreciated. If anyone entering into autosalon and has wicked shit done id be looking to check out ur car

thanks

bryan

I bought it from strathfield car radios back in like 2002 rough prices were Head unit = $350

kenwood 7x10's = $140-$180 (blue cone) and blue cone 4" kenwood fronts about $40

amp was from the bloke who i payed to install it for me was a Magnavox 1000watt. was $249

so all up $819 + install 6yrs ago.

Don't diss that paricular amp either just cause its a cheapO brand. The thing stood up very well

and when compared to a mates who spent big dollers.It has all the same Linear + mosfet crap inside.

(im not real tecnical aye)

Get an Alpine Type-R sub and Alpine MRP-M500 Amp. Cost you around... $500 all up and comes in a nice ported box. I bought one recently and it's nuts. Really good sound quality, and can rattle the cars sitting at the lights around you, if that's your thing.

Tough as too. I'd rather invest more in the sub and amp that will last and just get decent splits and head unit. Simply because you can drag a good sub around with you from car to car. Speakers just get annoying.

Another option is to buy the second hand Type-X sub and amp from the guy selling them in the private parts forum. If I hadn't already bought mine I'd snap them up, they're near unbreakable, so you don't have to worry about them not being new. I'd love to hear a pair of those puppies at full tilt, each being 1000RMS.

Check that out for a sub.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this

      Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.

      This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.

      OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
