I have two of them in my boot in a sub box. They are shit hot and work very well. nice clear and deep bass. Played with both classic, dance, trance, house and grunge/rock. Use original CDs and mp3s. Great bass reprocussion on normal cds (of course) and sounds very clear and crisp. This is in my r33 skyline. Previous subs were 2 x clarion 10" and they were good (they were ported however in a vl to the parcel shelf) but the apline type-s are shit hot, much better than the clarions

its hooked to a monbloc amp and an alpine cda9807 head unit can give full specs if you want and more photos if you like. very good subs i got them on special

I have got a single Alpine SWS-1241 in my car... Its the double drive version, which i think kicks a little more.

Great for what i want it for, and in conjunction with a powerful monoblock kicks some good bass for a variety of different styles of music. You'd probably want 2 of them like paulR has for even better kick.

I think i paid about $160+postage for 1x about 12 months ago (near new). I think they were only about $220 each new 12 months ago though so not sure whether its any bargain or not you're getting :D

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
