hey all,

have bought a sub and amp, after a few run ins with the car off, i went for a drive. all sweet except there was a whisltin noise in the boot, where sub and amp are that gets more and less pitch as the revs get higher and lower, all most like a turbo.

i left the car on idle and had a look, turns out it wasnt the amp makin the noise, like i first thought, it was actually the sub.

the power cables dont conflict with the RCA leads in any way. wen i turn the amp level done, it goes away but i dont want the sub to be turned done. could it be that the amp is just so close to the battery? now of my falcons or utes have done this. any ideas??

also, where r some common rattle points in R33 Skylines? i hate drivin with it up loud cause it rattles so much and i hate to think wat ppl think of me as i drive past.

cheers.

The rattles something that happens in all cars when you crank huge Bass.Its usually the numberplate rattling, and if you fix that up you will always find another. Hell in my old Falcon I managed to rattle the sender unit off the fuel tank! Fuel leaked out and stunk like hell. New Gasket and a ton of Silastic later fixed that one.

As for the Whistle you hear, Thats a common problem with Amps but not hard stop. Try a noise suppresion circuit..Go to a Car Hifi store and show them and they will sort that one out for you.

ok thanks mate. ill get one of those then.

as for the rattles, i dont think its the numberplate, ive held it and pushed it in and pulled it out and it doesnt stop, pretty sure its comin from inside, like the jack or wheel brace or somethin. could even be a broken weld and a panel rattlin around.

ill sus it all out tomorrow after work.

cheers,

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
