Rather than a full on Db comp, couldn't we show up all these other wanna be shows by having a TRUE sound off.

Where the winner is judged on sound quality, install qulity, use and layout of components etc, instead of just who squeezes the most shit in and can make one note the loudest.

We are Skyline drivers after all, not excel drivers!

Marc, as in me? lol :D I don't have any industry experience or anything so I don't know how good I'd be at judging, but I'm more than happy to give a layman's opinion on quality of sound, installation etc. I might be able to get Chris Rogers (from Sound Off) to come for a wander if you're interested though, to add to the professional judging.

True - maybe extra points for self-installed systems or something? Dunno. Fwiw I'm more impressed by a system that has not had bucketloads of money thrown at it, but still sounds good, regardless of what it looks like (to an extent of course). Kind of an anti "chequebook competitor" stance :cheers:

The trouble with having a "install comp" style of judging means whoever paid a car sound place the most money wins.

Not necessarily, I've seen mega dollar systems that have very a poor finish and sound like shit.

And I've seen simple backyard jobs that are very neat and tidy and sound good for the money.

But I know what you mean, I think normally there is an Expert and an Amateur Class, with different Total RMS classes.

eg

Amateur

1-200 Watt

200 - 500 Watt

500 Watt +

Expert

1-200 Watt

200 - 500 Watt

500 Watt +

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
