Hey everyone,

I recently got an r33 but the sound system in it is shocking. I wanna replace it but am on a fairly tight budget of ~$600.

I already have some kenwood headunit but it's not very good.

I was thinking it would prob be better to pick up parts as I save up money rather than buying a whole setup for $600.

Any advice on what to look for and whats good? Im very new to all of this haha.

Thanks in advance

If you have $600 limit, try Jaycar for a sub and combo. A 2 ch amp, 12" sub in box, and all your cabling and fuses should come in at under $600.

Jaycar Sub & Amp combo.

Only just found that! If I didn't already have a Jaycar 4x50WRMS amp, and 12" boxed sub, I'd be buying one of these.

Leaves you coin to upgrade your HU too.

600 include fitting?

I bought some cheap brand Boss system, came with sub, box, 6x9s, 6.5s, 4ch 4x100rms amp and 1 lot of cabling for $200. Definately not the best, but keeps me happy. Shop round.

ah sounds like it was a good deal.

I spose Ill probably save up and pick up parts as I go.

A friend of mine gave me 2 bose 6.5s out of his 350z. They are the stock ones that came with it, dno if they are any good haha. Reckon I should try using them?

Chef stagea just posted a bunch of audio stuff for sale.

Can check it out under his posts on his user profile here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ch...gea-m47249.html

Anything there worth considering? Keepin in mind Ill be slowly picking up parts to put it all together

Edit: Heres the stuff for sale

MB quart Reference (one of the best speakers they make) 6.5" splits with cross overs, all mounting gear and covers etc $200 (cost$450)

used in box

technical shet:

power handeling 70 -140 w

4 ohms

.75 inch tweeter (can be seperate or mounted on speaker)

they crank pretty damn well

MOMO Polk mmc650 6.5" 2ways same as above got all the gear and boxes, used but good nick $150

tech shet:

180watt

80 watt rms

4 ohms

Pioneer amp 4 channel (i think... not too good with amps) ive got front rears and has room for sub imput i believe. havnt got part number with me but can $200 with wiring kit

whole lot for $500 perfect system imo

Thats abit odd.havnt seen that before!

been that way since inception into cars. honda did it in the early 90s in the legend

the idea is low impedance - high power output.

Yeah i know the prinicipals of why they do it, just never came across it before. anyway ill stop spaming this guys thread haha.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
