dude did the unit you bought of this seller come with the ipod cable or do i have to source that somewhere else? because i thought it was included

no it wasnt included.. ive got an ipod FM transmitter anyways so it serves the purpose.. besides the aux in port is in teh rear for this one so bit of a bitch finding a good place to dock the ipod. still i reckon its worth the price without the ipod cable.. if i am not mistaken u can get them off ebay for $35 for so.

I'm in some serious need of help in regards to buying speakers for my R33, as I simply understand nothing about car audio. I also dont want to spend much money

I currently have sitting around:

JL Audio W6 sub (boxed)

Audiobahn A4075HCT amp (4ch, 4x75wRMS, 2400w ACH power)

Sony Xplod head unit (not sure what model cost about $800 3.5 years ago)

I need to buy some speakers (front and rear) to go with ths setup, and I have no idea which ones to go for. But I would like to keep the stock mounting point, no bulges or anything. I use to have some MB Quarts speakers before but not anymore.

Please give me your ideas on speakers, also what they would cost.

Got a question. Iv got component speakers for the front, and normal speakers for the back, all 6 inch. Got a sub and a monoblock amp also, all soundstream. I need an amp i guess for the speakers. Question is :

1) Can i connect the component speakers to the amp or no need ?

2) what type of amp do i need, in terms of 2 channel, 4 channel ? and how many watts am i looking at. I prefer a soundstream amp also.

hey guys,

Lookin at buying a soundsytem when i sell my car and get a new one. Lookin at either Soundstream or Rockford Fosgate. Wanting to do the whole car in one brand including: 2x 12" subs and of course the amplifier, 2x 6x9's in parcel shelf, and 6.5's in the doors with tweeters. looking at around 400RMS per sub. wanting really good quality loud music with some good bass, haha u know what i mean. any input or other recommendations would be great, so let me know what u think :D.

go infinity.. you wont go back.. it goes really loud but clean sound..

make sure is the top of the range..

you rekon thats better quality than top soundstream or rockford? price range is high so throw me any brands :D

Challenge for those in the stereo know.

I am after a in built GPS with flip out screen + CD etc. Pioneer make as good one but it is 2 DIN size.

I need one only 1 din size. I've found Ebay no name ones, but map updates are most important adn so is quality.

Any suggestions?

cant do flip out easily as one unit. pioneer have just release the AVICHD3 that does EVERYTHING.

in kenwood - the flipout screen and GPS module would be the go. not much change from $3k for the D3 and $2.3k for the kenwood setup.

steer clear of ebay :)

so what budget, car and music do I have to work with here. how loud do you want/listen to it.

I can do a RF system that will knock you socks off but you need to give me a starting point. suggestions would be at least $3k to do it right.

im jus curious to see what people's opinions are on the Best quality sound that will really pump. i have a cousin who can get me what i want, so pretty much any brand at any price to go in my R33. probably leaning towards soundstream cause it looks better, and has the good sound. thanks though, i appreciate ur help

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
