Hey guys, so this weekend i thought im gonna' go all out. 

First off i was building stage one of a sound system for the R34.

Source: Pioneer AVHP5950DVD 

Front: Rockford Fosgate T162S Splits

Rear: Rockford Fosgate T162C Coaxials

Subs: 2 x 12" MTX ThunderX Subwoofers

Amps: Jaycar Response  2 Channel (2 x 150rms or 1 x 500rms @ 1ohm)

Jaycar Response 5 Channel (too many specs)

All installed by Doran Pro Audio in Bankstown.

Unit 6 / 42 Canterbury Rd Bankstown NSW 2200 -

ph: (02) 9791 6311

Secondly i got myself some new rims for the R34. Didnt want to go full bling by dumping Dolce's or Lexani. So i settled for 19" Starcorp Impul 19x9.5 ( No spacers needed )

Well im lovin' it. Does turn heads though :)  

Next up on my list: 

2 1/4" Cat back zorst to keep her a lil quiet, and to not loose compression ( at the moment its running 3 or 3.5 cat back with 4" Canon, the previous owner had this on it and have'nt had time to get it changed )

Got quoted $350 for the catback with a canon ( Bankstown Mufflers ) 

After that, planning to lower the front just a lil' bit more to slightly cover the front tyres / rims. 

So what ya'll think? :closedeyes:

Hey Dori32, I provided all the hardware, except for the RCA's and the Speaker wire. They had to mount the amps aswell and fix my sub box aswell.

They also spent some time tuning it aswell. So all up $400 driveaway and any dramas i can go back to them. Keep in mind the dvd cost 110 itself to install.

But yeah lovin' the system, took me some time to find the right components to compliment each element. :) .

Yeah i had my eyes on the Starcorp Impuls for a while, and when the right deal popped up i didnt waste any time :(

Takin' it upto Brighton and La Perouse tonight so if anyones down there come upto us and the BMW

Haha cheers Cris.

Trav33. To tell you the truth my mate bought me them, he owed me a birthday present for my 18th. So he hooked me up with rims and rubber, but on Tempe they them for 2100 with rubber. And yeah they fit just fine man, i had a feeling i would need spacers but my mate just told me just whack them on and stop being an idiot haha, so i did. And havent looked back since :)

Drive's great, certainly a great upgrade from my stockies, they used to wheel spin like no tommorrow. And yeah i wanted to get spacers.. but the thing is they're illegal.

And i want to keep attention to a minimum on this car.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
