anyone else heading up to coffs harbour next month for the australian leg of the WRC?

Thinking about heading down, but I'm taking my son to see Ken B in Melb plus going to Syd for Stagea 15th anniversary cruise. Too much stuff going on me thinks.

thought I would post this as it's a great cut

nice!! gimme a call or something if you got time up there. ill be staying at moonee beach

PM me your number I'll be in the pits friday till sat arvo, on the piss sat night, and spectating WRC sunday, not 100% sure where they have booked me in for accom, but will find out

Hey guys sorry to bust into your thread but what size are the speakers in the M35 and are the rears the same minus the tweeter? any ideas what speakers fit/sound best im sorta a kenwood person.

:thanks:

Welcome Cameron. I like the look of your car. You know, I don't think I've seen anyone on here talk about sound systems in the M35. Most people who change head units probably just leave the speakers in place, although I could be completley wrong. Maybe you could become the resident M35 audiophile & tell us which ones work best & tempt us to spend more money? lol.

hey mate, yeh they are 6" splits on the front and 6" co-axle on the rear. the stock speakers have a narrow back so you'll need spacers made up to fit new ones, that and the screw holes dont line up. plus it would be easier to find 6.5" splits

as a sound engineer - I personally hate the sound of kenwood speakers. ide be looking more into the German Maestro or Focal stuff. the type R's seem to suffice aswell..

I have 400 Bad request where ads are usual. WTF How to get rid of it??????????????

What does it mean??????????

:rofl: Yeah, the server that spits outs ads for SAU is broken - its not serving out the ads but instead spitting out '400 - Bad Request' Its not anything for you to worry about, just be thankful you dont have annoying ads there :woot:

Thanks leon, yeah i am in love with my stagea i waited 6 months to find the one i wanted, and ill let people know what i found that fits best and how it all went.

Aaron i indeed like the sound of focal too and in my early years used them and other high end stuff im just a little more concious of funds these days but thanks for the heads up on kenwood have you any other suggestions of what sound good in the main line brands? alpine or pioneer etc

im a big fan of jaycar speakers, they always rated pretty high in the tests in audio magazines

thats cool. the entry level German Maestro's are insane for what you pay for em. theyre probably all up $150.00 more than the kenwood mid range, but sound as good as their top range stuff - and they dont sound too bad without amps either.

im a big fan of jaycar speakers, they always rated pretty high in the tests in audio magazines

as iain said also the Jaycar stuff isnt all that bad - cheap/effective/40-50w which can be run of the standard head unit or any aftermarket without the need for an amp!

I think its just me, but if you have the "gay" facia that isnt 2din, and the panasonic blue door speakers, i wouldnt change them. anything without an amp aftermarket wont sound any good - unless you upgrade to the bose factory system. stock speakers are actually really good!

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
