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've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
