Hi all, my Bro just had a stereo/amp/speakers installed in his car R32 GTR. Its got the following

Alpine 6x9 SPR69LP (rear parcel)

Pioneer 5 1/4 splits TS-C1353 (front)

Alpine MRV-F545 4 channel amp

Kenwood MP3 KDC 8017 player

The Audio shop installed it but there is jack all bass in the car, my F@rts have more Bass than whats in the car at the moment.

My car runs a simialr setup and sounds like its got a sub in the back of it. so I dont know whats going on.

He seems to think its the head unit but the Bass is turn up to the max. The amp has also been adjusted and tweeked but not luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers

it sound like the real 6x9 have been set up for trebil and no bass cos thats what you can do when installing amp, but thats just one thing also the rear speakers might be fulty or the pick up for the signal to the amp might not be working?

Make sure you check the amp filters sometimes they have low and high pass setups... take it back to the stereo shop and ask them if they can tune it so it has more bass maybe? or you could just go buy a sub and hook it up to the amp insted:) it will fix everything:P

I had a look at my borthers car last night again, and had a better look at it (took out the front panel of the Apline amp), as it turns out the Audio guy put the front signal to the rear speakers and vise versa... Also the setting was put to 1/2 channel instead of the 3/4 switch. So now the proper signals are being to the correct speakers. Theres good bass in the car now.

Thanks guys

Thanks for the offer to have a look Fhrx!!!

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
