Hey everyone,

I recently got an r33 but the sound system in it is shocking. I wanna replace it but am on a fairly tight budget of ~$600.

I already have some kenwood headunit but it's not very good.

I was thinking it would prob be better to pick up parts as I save up money rather than buying a whole setup for $600.

Any advice on what to look for and whats good? Im very new to all of this haha.

Thanks in advance

If you have $600 limit, try Jaycar for a sub and combo. A 2 ch amp, 12" sub in box, and all your cabling and fuses should come in at under $600.

Jaycar Sub & Amp combo.

Only just found that! If I didn't already have a Jaycar 4x50WRMS amp, and 12" boxed sub, I'd be buying one of these.

Leaves you coin to upgrade your HU too.

600 include fitting?

I bought some cheap brand Boss system, came with sub, box, 6x9s, 6.5s, 4ch 4x100rms amp and 1 lot of cabling for $200. Definately not the best, but keeps me happy. Shop round.

ah sounds like it was a good deal.

I spose Ill probably save up and pick up parts as I go.

A friend of mine gave me 2 bose 6.5s out of his 350z. They are the stock ones that came with it, dno if they are any good haha. Reckon I should try using them?

Thats abit odd.havnt seen that before!

been that way since inception into cars. honda did it in the early 90s in the legend

the idea is low impedance - high power output.

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
