hey all,

have bought a sub and amp, after a few run ins with the car off, i went for a drive. all sweet except there was a whisltin noise in the boot, where sub and amp are that gets more and less pitch as the revs get higher and lower, all most like a turbo.

i left the car on idle and had a look, turns out it wasnt the amp makin the noise, like i first thought, it was actually the sub.

the power cables dont conflict with the RCA leads in any way. wen i turn the amp level done, it goes away but i dont want the sub to be turned done. could it be that the amp is just so close to the battery? now of my falcons or utes have done this. any ideas??

also, where r some common rattle points in R33 Skylines? i hate drivin with it up loud cause it rattles so much and i hate to think wat ppl think of me as i drive past.

cheers.

The rattles something that happens in all cars when you crank huge Bass.Its usually the numberplate rattling, and if you fix that up you will always find another. Hell in my old Falcon I managed to rattle the sender unit off the fuel tank! Fuel leaked out and stunk like hell. New Gasket and a ton of Silastic later fixed that one.

As for the Whistle you hear, Thats a common problem with Amps but not hard stop. Try a noise suppresion circuit..Go to a Car Hifi store and show them and they will sort that one out for you.

ok thanks mate. ill get one of those then.

as for the rattles, i dont think its the numberplate, ive held it and pushed it in and pulled it out and it doesnt stop, pretty sure its comin from inside, like the jack or wheel brace or somethin. could even be a broken weld and a panel rattlin around.

ill sus it all out tomorrow after work.

cheers,

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
