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.

    • Hey Kaz, Unfortunately I am not at home currently and wont be for a few more months so I do not have access to my files or CAD. And at this point I prefer to keep the files to myself as I want to potentially make a few more pairs and see if they will sell within the EU before openly marketing them. But the way it's shaped and how small it is, I don't think you can fit both an indicator and a fog light onto the same surround, unless they were very small LED-type clusters.
    • I’ve just installed a Uniclutch sport into my R32. I’ve been blown away by it… it drives like a stock Toyota Corolla. It doesn’t make sense to me that a performance clutch can drive this well. I was about to pull the trigger on a Nismo Coppermix twin plate when I discovered the Uniclutch and decided to give that a shot instead. They’ve changed the game and I couldn’t be happier.    I was previously using an Extreme cushioned button clutch with lightened flywheel. I’m still using the same lightened flywheel with the Uniclutch.
    • Mmmm no, that's a white series 2 R33 GTS-t
    • Oh and.... "no bubble on the dash" ---> immediate no mod status.
