Hey all. Im wondering if anyone knows of a nice set of 6-6.5 inch speakers which provide a decent amount of bass which i can use as rear speaker on my R33?? Im not after subs so just wondering if there are any on the market that provide nice bass like 6 x 9's?? If not i'll have to look at 6 x 9's with a custom parcel shelf.

cheers.

thats why you buy 6x9s so you can have the punch without the sub...

i would look more into 6x9s if you dont want a sub...

subs are getting pretty cheap nowadays, i could lend you a shitty one :D most of my friends have one or two of my old subs in their car :huh:

Since the R33 parcel shelf has vents cut in it for the boot area, you will never get amazing bass out of speakers on the parcel shelf. You can make your own shelf, but it would be easier to just get a sub (I have contemplated building a new parcel shelf and putting an 8" sub or two in it, haha)

Where do you get these Rainbow speakers im having a lil trouble finding people who stock em?? im thinking of getting the pioneer TS-C160R splits for the front would this be a better choice than the rainbows for the front stage??

How do the KX165's sound compared to the SLC265Kicks? I've got my 6.5" Rainbows installed, with sound-deadening, but havent fired them up yet!

see reply from APS.

or send me a message. they are a night and day difference between the pioneer. rainbow will make a BIG difference to your front stage. suggest the SLX265 Deluxe as a starting point for the front doors. and KX165 for the rear. add an amplifer and you are set :thumbsup:

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
