Hi guys, I've done hours of searching but just wondering if anyone knows where to get a dash mat (I hate the reflection on the windscreen) and if there was a premium speaker package sold for the v36 350gt sedans? The speakers are good but just wondering if there was a premium bose package in some models that I might be able to find second hand on ebay? Thanks

You are better off getting an aftermarket system into the car over the Bose system. It does not sound Bose at all and is very low quality in terms of sound. However for OEM it is okay-ish

What Colin said. If you're going to go to the trouble of taking things apart to upgrade them, you may as well do it significantly better than the Bose stuff and for probably around the same cash if you look in the right places.

And if you're going to get aftermarket speakers, you should get an amp with that. So front and rear speakers with an accompanying 4chn amp. Then a mono amp with the sub. This may be my personal preference but if you're doing all this make sure you get the signal at the head unit for the cleanest sound. However from my experience the signal is shit anyway so get an Addison bit ten to clean the signal up and with that a signal booster to boost the sub signal.

Again this is my opinion, I'm probably a snob when it comes to sound quality. Do what you think suits your taste in quality. But definitely if you're looking at oem Bose, just go aftermarket right away.

Thanks for the responses guys, yeah I wasn't sure how much better the premium speakers would be. Sounds like aftermarket is the way to go. It also sounds like the dash mat is a hard one hey. You can get them made in the US and shipped over but of course they are for infiniti's and designed for a left hand drive dash...

If a dash mat is that imp for ya, just go to a good car upholstery shop and get it custom made will sure fit better and you can choose color/quality of fabric too, im sure they will be able to make you one.

Try looking for 3m mats....i think they make them for the specific car or you can send in your own measurements. They are heavy duty, all season and traps dirt, sand etc for easy cleaning as well.

wow, found my old post. I ended up going with a Shevron dash mat. It fits pretty well but would not recommend getting the black one that I did. It's made of a very reflective material that puts a lot of glare on the windscreen - the exact thing I was trying to get rid of. I think it is still slightly better than no mat at all though...

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
