My horn sounds weak. Weak as a schoolgirl's bicycle ... with basket ... and streamers !!!!

Firstly, my horns look like this. I dont think these are factory horns.

Secondly, how do you wire up a 2 terminal horn to a 1 wire set-up like the R33 has?

Is it as simple as grounding the 2nd terminal?

Alternatively, i realise i can just use another single terminal horn.

What horns have you used and recommend for a beefy, low, and loud tone?

Cheers

You can see my 2 horns in the front here

my horn hasn't worked since I pulled the steering wheel off and put it back on... I don't really miss... the less attention i bring to myself the better :P

I'm assuming that yes, it would be that simple, just run both off the same wire...

get a train horn... and a pressurised air tank to power it...

arent air horns illegal? defectable? some shit like that?

plus i have memories of using air horns in the past. they have lag. heeHAAAAW. not good for a quick beep. you gotta hold the fkr down and let it spool.

so what donor horns can you guys recommend?

My horn sounds like absolute shit. Similar to something you'd find on one of those four wheeled electric buggys that senior citizens drive around in on footpaths...

it must have been a Japanese trend in the 90s to have a piss weak sounding aftermarket horn in your vehicle. or you = fail.

i'm looking for a good alternative also.

When i try and give someone this big 'F*&^ OFF' raged BEEEEEEEEEEEEP for cutting me off, they dont even hear it... then as i pass all they see is me waving a fist or finger out the window.

hahaha. ^ seen that video before. its a killer.

but seriously, are regular air horns illegal?

i'd rather not have a uniformed official poking around under my bonnet because he heard an air horn from a block away :)

Im pretty sure air horns are illegal in vic, dont know about nsw tho.

i know the horns in my nc fairlane are pretty loud, maybe try a set of those, pretty sure there the same as ea and eb horns.

IMO, stay away from air horns. They draw the wrong kind of attention and the pumps don't last long.

I got a pair ( set ) of "Stebel Magnum" horns off eBay and they ROCK !! 139db makes the right statement when you need to :D

Easy as to install and look factory. ;)

yeah thats the thing. theyre deceiving. you see a car you think would have a good horn, but they turn out to have a sissy horn.

my mates jeep wrangler - girly horn. another guy told me his old ea falcon horn was weak too.

i'm gonna need some youtube clips of these horns :(

either that, or go to a car yard and start beeping all their horns.

the thing i dont like about the stebel and air horns is that they may be loud, but theyre not deep enough.

i mean theyre not too bad. but a nice deep angry horn would be better.

eg.

Stebel Magnum

Stebel Nautilus

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
