i got home and while i was reading my hot4's magazine doing my business as u do it soddenly came upon me. i NEED A MOTHER DUCKING LOUD HORN so in the instance i want 2 scare the living shit out of somebody i can :D

ok so down 2 business i like my OEM horns they are good 4 just letting ppl know that ur there but i want 2 put in a switch connected 2 a bigger horn so that when required i can scare the living shit out of everybody in a 100m radius :) so i want 2 know what type of horn am i looking at air horn, locomotive horn, police siren what ever as long as it goes beep real ducking loud also it needs to be legal so i guess a locomotive horn is out lol

ok so i have searched and searched and all i could find was

The device must not be louder than is necessary so the driver,

and a person near the vehicle, can hear the device when it is

operating.

A motor vehicle must not be fitted with a device that can make a

sound like the sound of a siren, bell, exhaust whistle,

compression whistle or repeater horn.

there was more that i found but this was all that applyed 2 me. all i want is a normal horn but one that is stupid loud so i dont need to wary about that second bit. BUT the first bit is very interesting "The device must not be louder than is necessary" hmmmmm "necessary" so how loud is this. so in my logic first try the normal horn and if that dosnt get a response or the response im after :D then it is time to try the back up horn.

im going 2 go past the local police station 2moro and see what they say

but any input on this would be nice lol looks like im the only 1 contributing 2 this :)

Klaxon horns are available through some Autobarn outlets.

Used to have one (with a switch) on my old 1600 Datsun.

Loud as heck. People can get the jitters as with airhorns. Klaxons take up less room, but one still needs to check on space for fitment.

Only downside (or from the perspective of a nearby policeman - an upside), is that in traffic, people have no idea where the sound came from.

If you want a louder European sounding horn, SG Foresters have them ie '03-'08; sourced from a wrecker.

good idea. so far every nissan i have owned the oem horn is a complete fail.

I cop so much shit over it being a Highperformance sports car and a horn that sounds like money nuts

i think there is a thread on here about putting falcon horns on

yes there is in the DIY section but that is 2 replace oem horns i dont want 2 do this i like my horns i just want a BIG OVER KILL horn as well

well i will be heading down 2 the a wrecker i might as well get some BMW horn couldn't hurt

haha i asked at the police station about legality and the guy was like hmmmmm i dont know. one second (asked his buddy) then the other cop is why do u want a louder horn whats the point of that. and by that point i had enough as i got the hint that i was not going 2 get any help with this so i headed home

well i have been looking around and i have 4 ideas. 1-new cheap air horn kit. 2-compact all in one air horn. 3-old truck air horn from wrecker along with a air tank i can charge up with my compressor at home. 4-same as 3 but if i can find a train horn for cheap at the wreckers

well i will be heading down 2 the a wrecker i might as well get some BMW horn couldn't hurt = quite loud, yes

but if i can find a train horn for cheap at the wreckers = that'd be at the 'train-wreckers' right?

you can also get booked for using the horn by the way. whether it be road rage, or just beeping outside someones house to let them know you are there. if you get a cop in a bad mood they can fine you. heard of plenty of cases of it before.

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
