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.

    • 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 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
