You mean if you upgrade speakers and deck?

Mine sounds fine with standard speakers and Clarion deck.

your speaker quality wont be as good as standard, may sound alright.. but theres standard amps in the sound system, whether they are external or internal to the head unit, I wouldnt know.

scott has the 2 din head unit, and he says that he hasnt heard his speakers sound like mine.

it will sound fine still, but i think the standard head unit will sound better...that being said, i think im keeping the car now, so i will start tackling audio in the hearse.

thinking of focal speakers some amps 4 sub's some more amps, and rockford i360. fk yeh

Mate, your talents are wasted in I.T. Nice work - very pro. I like it a lot.

thanks mate, i learnt a SHIT load of stuff doing this.

Nice work mate! DIY?

Love the shower head.:thumbsup: Shower drowning FTW!

not ALL DIY, i didnt do tiling, that was a professional job. and i couldnt do the plumbing, waste yes, water no. and the shower screen lol

x10000. should come down and do my bathrooms :P

yeah no thanks lol tradesmen get up VERY early. i dont like getting up when its AM. unless im still awake from the night before lol

its not all that hard, just gotta make sure you waterproof properly and get the bath hobb right and the rest is fairly easy.

dont think you can get away with doing a bathroom for less than $20k :(

So who's going to own up to owning this.....one of your friends ryan???

Definitely not one of my friends. You're from the dirty south, must be one of yours!

I am really curious as to whether or not it came over from Japan like that...

Don't all decks have standard amps?

Maybe I didn't notice a difference because mine already had a Kenwood mini disc player.

Why keeping the car? And wtf is a Rockford i360?

yeh but small useless things. usually with ones its standard facias like ours are of decent quality, ours is clarion im pretty sure, which do have good amps...

its just convenient, plus i cbf going through the sale process..

360 is a 31 band eq for each speaker in the car, plugs into the back of the standard headunit (with some chopping and soldering) and is completely controlled via laptop by blutooth. i installed one in an accord once. always wanted one since. i made mid range speakers sound better than their top end, i could only imagine what the top end stuff wouldve sounded like... i drool over shit like this lol

yeah the fake wood sides. like those ugly american wagons from the 80s. wasnt there a lampoons with one in it??

Ahh thats what it is, I couldnt tell from the photo! I thought it was some weird reflection. I do recall seeing it up for sale on Car Sales some time ago now.

I had to go back & take another look as didn't notice it either. Initially thought "so what, just another std M35", but now that I see it properly - :sick:

Aaron.

Y U no believe me?

ok heres a few of the changes........

Good stuff mate, although the floral-ish design is a big hit in Sydney regions I hear.

    • 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 😂
