Horns On R33 Gtst

[Munkyb0y]

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

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...

[Munkyb0y]

cheers doofy

so are they the standard horn?

[bryno]

apparently old school fairlanes have horns that can be used.. sounds like a tank. can't believe how pansy my horn sounds as well, barinas have more balls, really need to change it over

[DRD-00F]

Yours are definately not standard... you can get some pretty decent air horns that work alright...

also, yours appear to be facing backwards??

[Munkyb0y]

i meant yours, dumbass

edit: its the only way they would fit behind the front mount. not really backward. more like shit horns !!!!

ummmmm oh right

yeah, mine are standard...

go air horns

[Munkyb0y]

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?

[Craved]

someone installed some 100DB horns - louder the better - ebay it. $90 or something

LMFAO

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.

[Munkyb0y]

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

HAHAHAHA that hornblaster video is f**king gold.

Sounds like something off a cargo ship

[89CAL]

lol at video

Umm i think (in queensland anyway) Airhorns are legal so long as they dont play a tune.

havent really looked into it much so maybe someone can confirm this?

They run the same set up as a freight train, needs a compressor and tank to run it.

[W0rp3D]

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.

[TokyoTaxi]

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

Easy as to install and look factory.

just go to the wreckers and try and find an xf falcon and rip the horn off one of those. wire straight up and they sound tough as.

My xf horn sounded shit, you want an ea or newer.

[Munkyb0y]

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
