  1. hey guys

    need help, just bought a front mount kit for my skyline and need to get some assistance in how to install exactly. i have a 95 skyline 1.5.

    how do you install? do you need to remove the headlights as well? where is it best to mount the brackets that hold the cooler? ]

    any help would be good, or if any1 can give us a hand to install next week would be great. (reservoir - melb)

    cheers

    daniel :)

  2. got some boys bringing their pride and joys out on october 14th (saturady) to head for a cruie, either geelong or down the mornington peninsula. Puttin out an invite to any other skyline drivers who are interested in joining in. Its NOT an OFFICIAL cruise but more of a fun day out to meet other enthusists.

    Meeting at 10:30am at Bell st Mc Donalds (cnr bell st and st geoges rd preston)

  3. I have re-installed a system, but it just doesnt sound as loud as what it did it the previous car. I have a oldish pioneer deck (for some reason does not have a seperate antenna power wire?). The h/u isnt running any speakers, but has outs which go into a response 50x4 amp. The 2 channels on the amp run into crossovers which go to response tweeters and woofers. The last channel runs a response sub.

    I dont really have much experience in installs but i was pretty confident that i got it right. I might need to check that the wiring coming from the amp is correct. The sub runs off the 3th channel +ive and 4th channel -ive. one side of the amp is high pass and the other side (sub) is on low pass. That sound correct? The system was pretty decent in the old vehicle, but now it just seems as though it is not as powerful. Where did i go wrong and what should i check? I can get the model numbers if required.

    Also, would it be possible to just install a simple switch in line with the antenna so it only goes up when the radio is on and the manual toggle is switched?

    where are you from mate? if ur local i might have a chance to check it out for you as i used to work strathfield as an installer and now do car installs occasionally on the side. pm me if live round the northern burbs of melbourne.

  4. Ah! I ask because that's your problem.

    That's the "remote" wire for an amp. It sends out a constant voltage to keep an amp turned on. Using that for an antenna will force the antenna on (up) whenever the HU is on.

    You need to find your "p.cont" or "ant" wire from the back of the HU.

    For the speaker thing, I don't quite understand what you're saying or how you hooked the speakers up. Some Tee thing?

    Switching the + and - usually restores bass to speakers that are "out of phase" from one another. i.e one is pushing while one is pulling, therefore cancelling each other out. This could be worth a try definately.

    the problem your having with the back speakers is one that i have solved coz i had teh same prob, what u have is both positive of the speakers connected to 1 speaker on head unit and the 2 negatives connected to the other speaker wires from the hu. take 1 from each side and problem solved!!!

  5. hey guys i got 2 10" comp subs in the boot of my sky, like the dude with the taped up areas showing where boxes go i got some pics of mine, ignore the fact that i havent finished carpeting the necessary areas. i have also shifted my jack to behind the extinguisher u can see in the pics, there is a small door cut out, check it out. i could have put 12" in but i kept my 10" comp subs instead and they still rattle the tits off the skyline.

    only 1 hint of advice is that u remove the old standard car amp, in boot next to battery mounted to underside of parcel shelf and redo all the stereo wires, clearer sound.

  6. got a 95 S1 R33 skyline

    just wanna know how far every1 reckons you can boost the stock turbo without causing headaches, looking for a temporary boost in power before i carry out a full rebuild and upgrade on teh engne in march next year? i got all the gear at home sitting around til march so wanna get some of it on, like the boost controller just to see how it will go?

    wat psi ppl run their standard turbos at?

  7. Cheapest way to do it, sell the car and buy something that has already been built and is putting out the power figures you are looking for. As you probally already know modifying a car yourself is never cheap.

    yeh i figured it wouldnt be cheap but atleast i can justify to myself that its been done my way and to perfection, plus other cars that are highly modified are always either thrashed or owned by p-platers. no thanks. thats the reason i bought a stock R33, intentions to mod.

  8. as far as mods go i just imported it and it is as stock as it can be. the only thing that isnt stock is the exhaust which i have sitting at home for it (putting on this weekend) that is a kakimoto 3" that is turbo back whole lot.

    price guide: up to like 8-10g max over a 12month period, possibly doing most of the work myself. ive had high Kw cars before but never a turbo.

    250-270rwKw car with high response would probably be more desirable. coming from a VT SS 5.7lt with 327rwKw its a big change for me so i would like as much power with good response.

  9. i had my bar given to me by the olds for xmas last year. dad knew i needed a new bar (old one was damaed) and he ended up sourcing this 1 for $310, easy fit just get a panel beater to do it, most they will charge is around 200, just coz they have to blend the paint into the bonnet and guards.
