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

Hey Ben

Thats wicked man, I will come in for a chat some time. My previous installations were done by Tonkins and they were great.

What street is it on again and are you working 2nite?

Hi,hope this helps,i used to run a 1000watt amp(cheap brand bout $240) 7x10 kenwoods

4" fronts kenwood and a kenwood head unit. head unit ran fronts and amp was for the rears

had plenty of bass for rza etc and good with trebble for stuff like soulfly/machinehead.

Each to their own.This worked well for my style of music.

thats a good set up man. I know mates who rate kenwoods when listening to heavy music. wat was the cost of ur system?

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)

Tonkins is at 204-206 Gouger Street mate, were open 8:30-5:30 monday to friday and 9 til 1 on saturdays.

ah mon to fri my work times, would have rock sat sum time. not this sat tho. Will ask for ben whenever i come in but

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.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
