Ok Guys,

I've set aside $750 to outfit my GT-R as it currently doesn't have a system.

Would like a Sub and four speakers to fit completely within the factory apertures plus all the other odds and ends you usually need.

Currently Have a clarion amp and a headunit so they are not included in the pricing, nor is labor.

Who can spec up a decent system for that ?

i guess the answer to this could vary extremely from person to person. i run 6" R type alpine splits in the front off a good amp and i love em. in the rear i run 6 speakers now but i used to run a pair of good 4 1/2" splits and was good. i like top end quality in the front and mid range is adequate in the rear. is your current amp 2 or 4 channel? i tried 3 different type of lanzar subs and some soundstream subs before switching to my current R type subs. none of the subs lasted for a few different reasons but the current subs are indestructible and pack a punch.

a good box is a good investment and can make an average sub 100% better.

i dont really know costs as i havent had to buy anything 4 a while but think the R type splits are around 250-280. which would leave 500 to cover sub/box and an amp(2or 4 channel depending on what you already have) i know my local cash convertors never has less than 20 different amps and half dozen subs and i think hey have warranty if you wanted to go down that path.but they might only give warranty if you paid someone to fit it...

My car has not alot of sound deadening in it and it is very loud so I'm not sure uber good stuff will make a difference, I thought 750 for 4 speakers and a Sub was ok, should I spend more ?

Does it depend on what I listen to ?

I'm not talking uber stuff, just decent tunes

the louder your car the less you can hear the music. the more power it takes from the amp, which fries cheap speakers. or destroys your ears with distortion. and makes you sterile ? ok maybe not sterile but close

a decent cheap amp, and sub with generic box, 300-400 at least

two pairs of decent speakers. 200

cables- 50-100

install ????

misc parts?

do you see where Im going ?? . save a few hundred more then go shopping you will be much happier in the long run.

there is cheap,and then there is shite. go with cheap not shite.

you wouldn't want shite in a GTR. it smells ??? lol

I went for Fusion splits for fronts and 6 x 9 for rears.

Great power handling, and accuracy.

I have some HD cd sources which my head unit supports, and the reproduction is brilliant.

Considering Fusion aren't really considered high end, I'd put them there.

You need to demo them with a good source and a decent amp.

What to get for your money is amazing.

chris beat me to it, but maybe a setup of splits from Blaupunkt from chris ? , they had some in the 99 buck range that rated well in INCAR Entertainment mag last year I think

every major company has speakers etc that can fit the price point of 100 a pair, that will be 1000% better then factory

between 750-1k you should be able to get something to make you happy, and don't forget to ask for a better price from anyone you buy from. or a trader in SAU.?

I can recommend Chris , we have the same high demands for quality installs...lol

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!

      And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...

      That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.

      R33 general questions

      Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
