Do you have a need for a complete system all in one brand, or are you willing to mix and match to get the best value for your money? This is personally the way I went - I'm pretty happy with it and none of the items are of the same brand.

Well i doubt its "shit" and will sound fine.. just for similar money spent on other components you would probably get a better overall result. I used to have some Sony stuff in old cars, but wasn't ever that impressed. I'd always get into my mate's Alpine system car and could immediately hear the difference.

Most of the effort with Sony stuff these days seems to be in the design/aesthetics rather than the actual quality..

But horses for courses, its depends whether a person is one that notices those smaller details (or cares), or just wants a nice system to listen to each day at a reasonable price.

predator666 is right, i had some sony splits in my first car and as soon as i got into my mates car with pioneer splits i could hear the difference so clearly. i could have had the same speakers for the money i paid on the sony's and as a consequence i won't get sony car audio products again.

well admittedly i've never been in a demo car ... but i've been to most shops and talked to many friends who are audiophiles .. i got one friend with probably 4k of sound system in his integra ... i have not had one of them recommend pioneer except for head units so i can only go by what i've been recommended .. also of all the speakers i've auditioned in the shops .. i have to say that none of them has impressed me ... nothing like focals or eclipse ... i was lookin at a hot 4s magazine the other day and i saw some review of splits which costs from 1.5k to 3k .. WTF?? i guess everyone has their own tastes ...

they are nice speakers for the front i agree :)

if i didnt have pioneer i would def go for these HOWEVER!

my system is worth over 4k.... but that isnt the point.. i agree that everyone has their own tastes however if you havent experienced the top of the range blah blah blah everything cheapish will sound unappealing. :) rock on :D:)

my system is all pioneer. if you have a listen and tell me mine is shit i will sell it straight away and buy whatever you recommend ;)

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
