Greg: boot rattles... here we go hehehhe :) this the hardest area of any vehicle to stoff rattles and soundeaden :wave: there are a couple of options.....

1. put rubber matting in between the boot welds....

2. soundeadener in a can on the boot lid...

3. soundeaden matting on the boot lid...

4. after doing either one of these it looks cool to cover it up with a custom made interior panel to cover it over. not very expensive at all, hopefully that should fix it... it really is a common problem for any car.

by the way... screwing your number plate down with 4 screws (one in each corner) with a rectangle sheet of rubber matting behind it will stop your number plate from rattling almost completely :P let me know how it goes mate ;)

How to get rid of high pitched alternator noice once and for all ?? (I got it down to a bearable level, but is stil there)

Have tried the following :

Run RCA's and Power down seperate sides of the car -

Earthed the Amps as well as I can - (pretty farking good)

Tuned the amp hi pass and low pass filters as best I can.

Cheers,

brendanf: What it sounds like you need are some noise suppressors how many channels is the amp?

if it is four channels you will need 2 suppressors

if it is two channels you will need 1 suppressor

you can pick these up for $20-$25 from any decent audio store, they plug straight into your rca leads at you amplifier end :wave: let me know how you go brendanf

And yes i can get them  :)  they are an absolutely kick ass set of splits  :P highly recommended

I was looking at the 2 way. Had a listen to them, also the MB quartz and dynaudio. Boston sounds more warm.MB too sharp and dynaudio sounds a bit dull. They're not suited to my style of music.

i agree, the Bostons do sound warm and great  :P have you gotten any prices so far on them? when did you want them?   ;)

Best retail price I've got is 800. In about 3 or 5 months. I can get them now but no point since I've got no amp. I figured do both at the same time.

Silver-Arrowz

when you want them let me know. the focals are good too, i sell both; but i certainly know which i prefer, i would always go for the bostons, they have a really distinctive sound i think :D let me know either way :)

akeenan:

i didnt know anyone still used compression horns, i have a set at work but they are hard as shit to sell because it is hard to find the right person (let alone right car!!!) to fit them in hehehe :) horns are the bomb when it comes to quality in a lot of respects though :)

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
