Hi all, I am currently looking into buying a V35 Skyline Coupe 03-04 model, and i would just like to know if the factory "BOSE" sound system is any good??? Having previously owned both 33 and 34 skyline , which somehow luckily all came with big aftermarket sound systems installed by prevouse owners, (headunit, amp, big sub speakers) setup, i just want to know if the factory setup on the v35 are decent enough? thanks

I like my Bose system, does what i need it to. Keep in mind (From what i can see) the V35 has 4x 6 inchers, 2 with tweeters (Front and mid), and 2x 6x9's at the back. (might be wrong about this). I also use a 7" touch screen Double Din system with built in blutooth etc. Really happy with the system in general. My previous car had a full aftermarket Pioneer system and this blows it away.

Bose make the speakers for the car so all the harmonics are as close to perfect as you could like.

I am happy with the BOSE.

I use a Computer as my "Headunit" and have a 31 band digital / software equalizer to tailor the sound for the car. Being able to finely control the Eq has really made a difference.

For the highs (ie >15khz), I think most of these are lost due to the fact I am actually playing MP3's, I dont know if the BOSE would actually handle them. But with the eq, its enough for me.

The weekness I would have to say is actually in the true sub-woofer range. The bass can be pushed pretty hard, but to me the crisp kick of bass is not as good as I hoped for, but still much better than your average sound system. I do like to feel my bass; no, not "doof doof", but the "kick". But to give you an idea, when a good song comes on, and I turn up the volume just a little, it doesnt take much to get the rearvision mirror bouncing along to the tune.

Depends on how serious you are about your sound, It won't sound anything like the systems in your previous vehicles.

You could keep the head unit so it looks factory but if you did I would consider an aftermarket processor like the Audison bit1/Rockford 3sixty/Alpine PXA-H800/JBL-MS8 to get a clean signal to your amp/amps if you go down that path.

Do some research on Mobile Electronics Australia, You'll get plenty of local advice on car audio.

Alternatively have a look on DIYMA in the US where there are plenty of instals in the G35

i upgraded the head unit to a dvd touch screen jvc, and added a 500w mono block amp and 2 s type alpine subs, but left the factory bose speakers and amp, it sounds great, the speakers themselfs when hooked up to an aftermarket deck with a crossover to remove the real low end and push that through the sub are as good as any $200-300 set of aftermarket speakers.

LOL that's not an indication of quality. If you'd compared them to a $900-$1500 set of speakers then you'd have reason to claim they are good. I've seen and removed the factroy speakers and I don't rate them highly, but to most who really don't care that much about quality audio OR who have not actually experienced a really good sound system then the stock speakers may be quite adequate. Some of the more frugal Doof Doof crowd fit into this catagory as well, more emphasis on bass and less need for quality up front means the factory speakers may be fine.

you can lol all you want, my last car had q line mb quarts, yes they where much better, but what im saying is so many people upgrade to basic pioneer or kicker splits and these people are not gonna see any gain with that money spent, simple as that, if you have a budget to buy mb quart, focal or other brands like that you wouldnt ask questions about stock speakers period... so instead of laughing at genuine comments make sure you take them in the context they where written in, and don't be a douche.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
