Cheers guys, I'm now definately going for the Focals.

Fhrx, you couldnt by any chance give me a price for a set of 165V2s and 165CAs?

..... at the mo I've got a seller for $500

That sounds pretty close. Is that for both together or each?

I paid $420 for a pair of 165v2s and trust me they are exellent, it depends on personal preference but the 165v2s actually sounde better than the more expensive focal splits.

Should sounds very sweet with your set up, and it sounds like ou have the gift of the gab to get a deal like that :wassup:

mine has changed yet again.

Zapco plans are out, u-dimension is in. Hopefully get time to put damn pods in soon.

2 x u-Dimension Jr15.2x Amps (2x125W RMS @ 4Ohms) *bought today :P *

1 x Sound Stream XTA720.4 Amp (4x90W RMS @ 4Ohms bridged to 2x360W RMS @ 4Ohms)

Focal Utopia 165W3 running semi-active mid-bass @ 125W RMS and mid/tweet @ 125W RMS off Focal x-over

JL Audio W3V2 in 4Ohm DVC getting 720W RMS off the SS

OR

Run the Focals fully active 125/125/90 and get a 2Ohm DVC W3V2 with 360W RMS into it. Must do some testing.

Ok, got my new install done finally, here is what i'm currently running..

Nissan CW726 head unit

Speakers are all Alpine..

SPS-170A rears

SPS-171A splits

SWS-1242D 12" sub

MRP-M350 sub amp

MRP-F240 4 channel amp

Even tho the head unit needed speaker to line conversions the sound is awesome, now to save up for a decent head unit!

Yeah NOICE, i was thinking of getting an iPod but im looking at the Creative Zen's now instead.

yeah the Zen is nice, one good feature is the user replaceable battery, the Ipod has an internal battery that requires the unit to be pulled apart to be replaced, so it will cost $$$. But, the Ipod has one thing the Zen doesn't, head unit support. Alpine, Pioneer and some other head units have interfaces available that let you completely control the Ipod, and even show the track names and ID3 tags on the display, which to me is worth getting the 'pod.

Yeah it can be very preicey to get a battery changed but with the new gen 3 ipods there is no need to worry about that.

I dont need it for the car as have a mp3/WMA HU anyway so its not like i can't fit enought songs on 2 or 3 discs to last me a little while, but i hear where your coming from.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
