Hey guys, so i've got a r34 GTT. and with the help of this forum a few months ago i installed and tuned it. Pretty much my "system" is:

4 speakers - 2 front 2 rear

1 sub woofer

1 1200 W Amp - 4 channel

1 Head deck

.

I have amped the two front speakers to the amplifier's front ports

And i have amped the subwoofer to the amplifiers rear ports bridged.

the two rear speakers are connected to the head deck still.

On the head deck i have all bass settings set to as minus as they can get (to avoid the front speakers distorting from bass)

The amp has the gain for bass set at about 3/4 and for the front speakers at half way.

The issue is, I have bass when the system is turned up really loud, however, at lower or normal volumes there is no bass at all. I can tell the front speakers are trying to make a bass sound but dont. and the sub is pretty much not putting any bass through.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks heaps.

bass boosted songs play great, however normal ones dont.

polarity is correct, and im in westmead. (NSW)

Why don't you set the bass setting on the head unit to 0 and then set the gain on the amp accordingly?

Turn off all bass boost options (including loud). On the amp, set HPF for the front channel, set LPF for the rear channel. If you have the option of setting your rears as sub on your head unit, do it. Crank it up and tune accordingly (close all your doors/windows lol).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
