I'm looking to get a system for a Gts-t 32 but having a bit of trouble picking the right brand. I've sort of cut it down to Alpine, Soundstream, Fusion or JBL. Can anyone recommend something thats got performance? no matter the price.

Thanks.

hmm, i can reccomend these brands from hearing them, have fun with the sub box in the boot :D be interested to see how you go about the boot install, i've found it a bit of a squeeze...

- DD (if your after SPL and no matter about price :D)

- cerwin vega

- fusion

- JL

- pioneer comp ones

- high end rockford forsgate

more SQ style...

- Eclipse

- boston acoustics

hmm. so many to choose from...i took the fusion approach myself...

as for sub amps, jaycar is good value for money...havent really tried any others...

i would say you should forget about what brand to focus on for the moment as you haven't said whether you prefer the sound of 10s 12s 15s 18s

also what type of music you listen to whether you prefer one sub or two what type of box you are planning to run how much power you are going to put in and how much you intend to spend on an amp

hehe i had was soo close to fitting, if only the rear windscreen wiper motor diddnt sit so low it would have fitted :S depends if u like ur boot space or not i guess :blink: hehe

6" splits in the front doors, rear fill is upto you if u want it, im only running 6" front splits and sub at the moment, gonna put another set of splits in later, and as for 6x9s...no thanks, not for me, go to an autobarn store or similar and listen to the difference...

oh and as for brands of splits, depends on the budget, i like MTX, kenwood are good, fusion, peerless are really nice but bit too expensive for my budget :O, focal...but best bet is to take music u like to a store and sound test them as it comes down to personal preference...

head units, i like Alpine, JVC is good, as is kenwood & pioneer...depends on the features u want

I have a Pioneer Headunit, Pioneer 260w Kevlar Splits in front, Pioneer 6" 260w 4 way coaxials in the rear, and a Pioneer 12" 1000w sub with an 800w Monoblock amp. Sounds fantastic, never had a problem with it

My setup

-Alpine IVA-D310 headunit (has remote multimedia unti that i have placed in the boot for all rca leads etc.)

-Alpine MRD 060 monoblock amp for subs

-Rockford Fosgate P1 12" subs (2 of)

-Kenwood 6" splits up front (un known wat type they r as they came with the car)

Thats it at the moment, subs are mounted in the corners of my boot in my 33, i will take a few pictures of them this arvo for you.

I am also getting a set of Focal 165 K2P splits for the front as i went and listened to them last week and :) they sound soo schmick! Also a set of 6" Focal 165 KP for the rear and an Audison Lrx 2.250 amp for the splits and rear speakers :)

I went for sound quality so i got all the good quality cabling i could get, cost me but its well worth it :)

P.S. dont let the cops see you with ur dvd/tv/headunit screen on as its a $60 fine, believe me i know :)

Ive got a 12 inch L7 Kicker Solo Baric running off a 460rms mono block kicker amp and also running kicker 4x6 in the front doors and kenwood 6 inch 3 ways in the rear, running off a 4 channell schnieder amp and i tel ya it blows!

The solo Barics dont need much box space so they are ideal for the small boot of the 32

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
