hey guys just got a mate (who works in an install shop) to fit some sound system and security systems to my car...

few problems;

A- Since he has installed the security system on my R34 (simple immobiliser and central locking just for the time being til i get more money up) a red light is flashing on the dash constantly its only half illuminated so i cant really make out the word but it looks like the word "jag" or something??

B- I bought (what i thought) were very very good speakers... $450 Hertz splits for the fronts and $300ish Hertz rears running off a focal 400w 4ch amplifier also a Polk subwoofer and just a basic 250w clarion amplifier to run that.. my problem is that the speakers arent loud at all.. they sound like they have jus treble no bass at all and the bass (from the woofer) hits some notes and the car just goes crazy and then the next note will just be flat.... i expected more from this... he said i need to give time for the speakers to "bed" in so is this just my problem or does the amps neeed to be tinkered with??

Cheers

is your mate brett,scott,garth ,warren or alan?

before you ask questions on here how about going back to shop in question (if it was fitted there on the books) and explain you are not happy. yes I know who you are referring to and the shop in question. have seen a gry R34 sitting outside that shop a few times now. if that is you then I know the car in question. regarding the focal items: they DO need break in time.

as for the immobiliser - no idea. could tell you more if I saw it.

nah my car was done out of hours hasnt been to the shop at all, it wasnt done on the books and im not sure if i should say any names jus incase anyone gets in trouble..

Chris - if i brought it to your shop how much would you guys charge to just go over it and re-tune all the amps just to make sure everything is setup right? Also have a look at that red light i was referring to?

Crazy mofo - nah mate i havent tinkered with any of it... dont know much about amplifier settings etc so not really keen on doing that sorta stuff... spose ill give it a few weeks to bed in and see if im happier than...

    • @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.
