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,

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
