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.

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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
