Hey all,

I've got a busted amp that is pumping out positive charge through the negative terminal, and it's blowing every fuse that I put in it. Anybody know any place on the gold coast where someone would know what to do about this? I'm not really keen on buying a new amp. but if it comes to that, then fine...just need to get a professional opinion on what the hell is going on with this amp.

It's been out of the car for a while now, n I miss the thumping bass. So it's time to get stuff done. I just dunno where to go to get sound equipment fixed. Brisbane car sound don't do any repairs as far as I know. Can anybody get me in the right direction about this?

many thanks,

Zak

G'day,

I might be able to point you in the right direction, unfortunately I'm off work till after New Years so I can't speak to the right people till then. Might be able to get an email through to someone though.

We're based in Melb., but we have repairers in most states to speed things up a bit for our products.

You should be able to get it repaired, I'm not a tech but I'm pretty sure the MOSFETs are just F$%#@! (ah, fried.) Oh, what amp make/model is it? Would help to work it out.

Will give you a yell when I find out from work.

Merry Christmas! :alcoholic

what amp ahve you got .Unless its a decent amp you would probably be better off replacing.If you speak to someone at dick smith or tandy or jaycar they will be able to put you onto an electronics repairer.Most cheaper amps are not worth fixing.

Go easy on the thumpin tunes man,if your blowing amps imagine what your ears are doin!!

I've got a very simple Boss amp...it came with the car when I bought it. I don't really turn up the bass at all, cos the speakers were never really that good to begin with...the thing just died on me, n it took me a while to realise that the sub wasn't doing anything.

I'd like to replace it, but if it can be fixed for a cheaper price, that's the only option I can think of for now. I'll speak to those guys, n see what can be done...thanks for that.

Cooks, got ur pm...thanks again man, u've been a great help!

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
