I think its just me, but if you have the "gay" facia that isnt 2din, and the panasonic blue door speakers, i wouldnt change them. anything without an amp aftermarket wont sound any good - unless you upgrade to the bose factory system. stock speakers are actually really good!

Oh, he jelly!

I'm actually happy with the standard stuff. Upgrading speakers will be one of the last things I do, and I'll get some decent splits and an amp.

The standard system has splits anyway, unless mine got upgraded in Japan?

standard has splits.

i even went to the extent of buying new speakers, but just never bothered as i was never unhappy with the stock ones.

Is that those Maestro ones you were trying to shift for ages?

Also, where is everyone today? Either they've all got scared off by the aggro full moon stuff that's been going on lately, or people are actually busy at work! Oh no!

Normally a hive of activity during the day.

yeh i got rid of them eventually. its hard to find sellers for speakers as everyone is usually customed to their own brands. I dont think German Maestro is a well known brand, but those who know it, know they are one of the best brands out there. all about upselling lol

your sort of right, but you have names mixed up.

MB Quart - old stuff, hand made in germany. blue prints where then sold to German Maestro. MBQuart company was then taken over by china, and went to shit. MBQuart older stuff is really good, newer stuff is poor.

German Mestro are using the original mbquart bluprint(the good ones) and are producing them. which are good. there was never a bad German Maestro. but you will find some people with biased opinions as there are different brands that are preffered by different people.

the entry level GM stuff i think may get their parts from china. but why would you want entry level :rolleyes:

hey are you saying i should keep the standard deck and speakers or just the speakers, the problem i have is that the original deck cd player isnt working and yes it is the single din system with splits in the front i dont really want the bose system too much to change.

and ill be happy if you think the standard is good enough i am quite happy with the sound or will i loose that if i change the deck i know they do match the speakers to the deck when they do the initial set up in newer cars.:whistling:

I had a mini disc player in mine, upgraded to a dvd player and left the standard speakers, pretty happy with the end result.

Do you have the TV screen?

you will loose quality if you dont upgrade WITH Amps. my thought anyway. my cd player doesnt work well either, i ended up getting the ipod connection kit and it works fine. all the speakers lol.

my opinion, it was the best $150 i spent. used every time i drive.

You mean if you upgrade speakers and deck?

Mine sounds fine with standard speakers and Clarion deck.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
