Get rid of that weak little horn in your R33

Recommended Posts

Like the other imports I have owned, I hated the polite little JDM horn of my SII R33, so I did what everyone should do...replace it (or them)

For $5 from Pick-a Part, and about 5 minutes fitting time, I now have the meanest, baddest barking monster horn, short of going the airhorn route.

Here's how...

1. Go to a wrecker like pick-a-part

2. Locate the Ford section

3. Find a Falcon of the XD-XF vintage, an old 1980s tank. (Later models need a separate earth wire)

4. Remove both horns and their mounting brackets (they are located underneath the washer bottle in the front left corner of the engine bay)

5. Unplug and remove your Skyline's weak little nancy-horns

6. Using the bolts from the stock horn, bolt these into the stock location in your Skyline, and plug them in with the standard wiring plug. They earth through the bracket, so make sure they are bolted in tightly

7. Toot the crap out of anything that moves. This thing will be LOUD

When I installed my FMIC The horns had to be moved so I bolted them to the top of the cooler. Only problem was that the bolt was too long and so the horns, while secure, were very loose in their mounting.

End result; when you beep the horn not only do you get the normal beeping but the horns themselves vibrate like mofos and make a massive racket. Scares the crap out of people.

maybe all you guys have a grounding problem or something?

I have the stock horn, and let me tell ya, it's fricken loud. I use it all the time, and it's still running strong.

It's louder than any other car i've driven, and beleive me, i love testing the horns.

^ thanks for tip Damo^ Do they Plug straight up ??

Nah man, the stock ones have the power wire and earth through the bracket (IIRC).

The Astra ones have a different plug, and have a power and earth line, so make sure when you get them from a wrecker, ask for the plugs as well.

What I did was make up a bracket to hold the horns (obviously), cut the old plugs off (one wire), soldered the power wire to the appropriate line on the astra plugs, then extended the earth lines on the astra plugs and earthed them using a ring terminal where I bolted the new horn bracket on.

Pretty simple, didnt even have to change a fuse or anything.

Works a treat.

    • I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.   
    • To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.
    • Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
