My horn sounds weak. Weak as a schoolgirl's bicycle ... with basket ... and streamers !!!!

Firstly, my horns look like this. I dont think these are factory horns.

Secondly, how do you wire up a 2 terminal horn to a 1 wire set-up like the R33 has?

Is it as simple as grounding the 2nd terminal?

Alternatively, i realise i can just use another single terminal horn.

What horns have you used and recommend for a beefy, low, and loud tone?

Cheers

You can see my 2 horns in the front here

my horn hasn't worked since I pulled the steering wheel off and put it back on... I don't really miss... the less attention i bring to myself the better :P

I'm assuming that yes, it would be that simple, just run both off the same wire...

get a train horn... and a pressurised air tank to power it...

arent air horns illegal? defectable? some shit like that?

plus i have memories of using air horns in the past. they have lag. heeHAAAAW. not good for a quick beep. you gotta hold the fkr down and let it spool.

so what donor horns can you guys recommend?

My horn sounds like absolute shit. Similar to something you'd find on one of those four wheeled electric buggys that senior citizens drive around in on footpaths...

it must have been a Japanese trend in the 90s to have a piss weak sounding aftermarket horn in your vehicle. or you = fail.

i'm looking for a good alternative also.

When i try and give someone this big 'F*&^ OFF' raged BEEEEEEEEEEEEP for cutting me off, they dont even hear it... then as i pass all they see is me waving a fist or finger out the window.

hahaha. ^ seen that video before. its a killer.

but seriously, are regular air horns illegal?

i'd rather not have a uniformed official poking around under my bonnet because he heard an air horn from a block away :)

Im pretty sure air horns are illegal in vic, dont know about nsw tho.

i know the horns in my nc fairlane are pretty loud, maybe try a set of those, pretty sure there the same as ea and eb horns.

IMO, stay away from air horns. They draw the wrong kind of attention and the pumps don't last long.

I got a pair ( set ) of "Stebel Magnum" horns off eBay and they ROCK !! 139db makes the right statement when you need to :D

Easy as to install and look factory. ;)

yeah thats the thing. theyre deceiving. you see a car you think would have a good horn, but they turn out to have a sissy horn.

my mates jeep wrangler - girly horn. another guy told me his old ea falcon horn was weak too.

i'm gonna need some youtube clips of these horns :(

either that, or go to a car yard and start beeping all their horns.

the thing i dont like about the stebel and air horns is that they may be loud, but theyre not deep enough.

i mean theyre not too bad. but a nice deep angry horn would be better.

eg.

Stebel Magnum

Stebel Nautilus

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
