Hey guys, my brothers car is in Autosalon this weekend and he wants to run his sound system but we are not to sure about a suffisient power source. Does anyone know how to power the car using the mains?

We have been told to use a battery charger strait onto the termanals, but the system is runnung like 3000wrms..

Any help would be appreciated.

You have to make an Anderson plug connection on your car, which connects to your battery. My friend just did it for his car (JL Audio Mirage) for this weeks autosalon. Once you make the plug, at the Autosalon, they supply you with a power supply that is connected to the mains and plugs directly into your car.

This is what it looks like:

Yeh, it connects straight up to your battery........ one wire from your negative terminal and one from your positive. Those are the two pins on the plug. You have to use atleast a 4awg cable. That then plugs into the power supplies that they supply to you at autosalon.

Mate Autosalon do not supply these, Its up to you to have your own.

Autosalon supply a powerpoint thats all. My car had a converter built into the system so all the car needed was a powerpoint. Think they are around $300 for a smaller one (enough to run my downlights and stereo at a medium level) and prices are much more for a full competition set up as used on my mates S2000.

My mates car was in with JB Hifi for the last 2 years and a 110amp power supply was supplied.

J B Hifi bring their own power supplies to the show, Autosalon only supply 240 av socket. Jaycar do a power supply that does around 40amps for $399, or if you want something with more power i can get you a proper 100amp switchmode power supply for $600. Pm me if you need one

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
