Hi Guys,

just wondering what you'll think abt my sterio

i've got clarion in dash dvd touch screen, with tv tuner, 53 x 4 with 5.1 surround sound, 1000Watt Hertz Speakers in the front doors, with 4 tweeters, running off a baby dragster amp, i have 550 watt speakers in the rear running of the dvd computer, in the boot, i have 2 x 15" quad coil Digital Desgin subs, normally running off a 2000watt audison vrx amp which is spl tuned(blew it up gone for repair), so tempory amp is some alpine amp... which is running of a 15 farad (2000 jouels) compasitor, i've also upgraded the battery to a camping one...

the install is not finished yet... cause the amp getting blow on the last day of the install, we didn't bother finishing it off.... we're waiting for the amp to come back so we can paint and make the boot looking nicer....

i did most of the install my self, and my mate did the major wireing....

please tell me what you think....

hey man, just a question can u PM me the details of those guages u got on ur din shelving under ur dvd screen, i been hunting for those for too long to remember, and have had no luck, cheers guys...

also can u also send me any sort of help to get the wiring of RCA's etc from the headunit to the boot, as i dont want to pull up carpet that i dont need to, and do damage to the carpet or plastic and would like the carpet to go back to its original position so as to keep the clean newish look to it... cheers guys... PM asap about guages and info :DDDD

thankx

I see they cut out a bit to fit the dvd screen. So moving the ac dials would look crap as you will be left with an untidy finish...

I love the sub box (the boot) very ambishis... Lucky installslike this dont cost 20g's these days. But still not cheap....

thanx for the replies,

the reason y i i installed the screen where it is, cause the AC has that little angle on it, and it would of looked crap cutting and chopping... we did enough of that in the boot...

the dvd screen has a feature, you hoold the close button for 3 seconds, and it flips down so you can play around with the AC, then after 6 sec it flips back up...

i don't much rattles from the back end cause most of it has been fiber glassed, the boot is the only thing left to glass... pretty much the whole car neary ratthes on really low based songs...

yeah the set-up is worth abt 20 G's... but i never paid that much :>

PS. if only i met ya before i took the move a few weeks back to Melbz man... i coulda learnt alot from u, HEH :) i want that setup *pout* :D

learning as i go as per the messages mate... but yer, one thing i dont want to do is screw up :)

ya dont need to take the back seat out do u? cause ive heard how much of a **** they are ;/

intresting how your using suck a high rated cap, when really with that type of system 1 farad will do.......................... 15 farad is really a over kill since you will never discharge any amount from it. Plus the cap only smooths out your votage spikes/drops

yea i saw that 2, i wasn' gunna say anything, wish he lived down here so he could help out us boys that are trying to get some [at home learning] for audio work :)(

im a builders labourer so i got the hands on ability, but calculations no way... or artistic talent out the window 2 :D

so tell me how the fark do u know what guage to use for ur amp?

and what guage to use from amp to subs [seeing the sub box that got made only has speaker wire support which is uber gay, unless i wrap a larger guage around it, which i doubt would be of any use, prob fall off :)(((

andddd I NEED HELP ;/

like i said in the first post, my mate did the major wireing, and the wires running from the amp to the subs, is 170$ a metre, its high quallity speacker wire...

the reason why i got a 15 farad compasitor, is cause i wanted one and my mate said here's one, you can have it for 250$ i'm like sweet throw it in...

and the gauges model number is VD-100 can buy from www.jaycar.com.au

the gauges are a VU meter and voltage meter...

also i've got 2 gauge power wire running to the compasitor, and amps...

if you need help with your sterio, please e-mail me... its a lot easier...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
