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

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
