I have a bit of a problem that I hope will be easily resolved.

First of all i'll start with my stereo set-up.

Nissan R33 Skyline GTS25t

Sony DVD Head-unit.

Pioneer 6" splits up front.

Pioneer yellow cone 6" x 9" rear mounted on spacers.

12" MTX 4500 sub in boot.

NO SOUND DEADENING.

All have been installed by myself but it has been tuned professionally. I'm an electrician by the way, so i had half a clue of what I was doing during the install.

But my main problem is I see....well actually HEAR a lot of cars go past with a LOT of bass coming from their cars. I want that Sonic BOOM feeling with my system. When I turn my system up, it sounds immaculate inside but as soon as I step outside, it rattles and shakes with only mild bass.

I have been told that it has been installed properly apart from the sound deadening, and it has been tuned to perfection.

Is it my set-up?

What about the choice of subwoofer?

Is deadening that important for this type of application needed?

PLEASE i need your help...

I've spent thousands envying those "doof doof cars" and need to solve this.

Any suggestions and ideas will be much appeciated! :(

would you like a noise ticket ($350) to go with it?? car stereo is for the driver not everyone else.

sound deadening (in your case) will not help your cause.

thanks for that...i'll keep that in mind...

although i dont have my music up that loud...

whenever i'm at a stop light i press the ATT button...but whilst driving i adjust the volume for my liking...not for others!

THANKS FOR THE HELP THOUGH....I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WILL SOLVE ALL MY ISSUES! :(

Genre of music, the quality of the source (ie what quality mp3, CD, etc), speaker types, speaker locations, amp types and wiring configs, tuning of the system, etc are all things you could look at...

your problem won't be easily (or cheaply) resolved

I agree completely with the posters above - the sound inside the car is all that counts, but...

install more subs, preferably poorly designed ported enclosures for that "boom box" sound - just expect that the sound inside the car will begin to be compromised (that boomy sound is terrible)

If you want bass outside the car you need to tow a trailer around with subs in it, just like in Fat Pizza...

Why would you want more noise outside the car? Is that to annoy other people or something?

Keep the noise inside your car!

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
