In between the whole Boost Worx dyno day and running at AIR I completely forgot about my minor audio upgrade.

I had the following bits fitted:

Front - Rockford Fosgate 5 1/4" splits

Rear - Earthquake 6.5" 2 ways (excellent bass for such a small speaker)

Amp - 4ch Lightning Audio Bolt B2.300.4

Head Unit - Alpine CDA9815

Ang (sp?), Shayne and Steve from Compete Audio were absolutely excellent from start to finish. I can't recommend them more highly :P I'm sure Miss Nismo (Mel) would agree ;)

Their level of customer service, after sales support, value for money and level of workmanship has been first class so far.

The 7893R is the previous model (might be a model below?) either way the RRP on the 7893R was $899. The RRP on the 9815 is $999 so yeah pretty much the same thing.

Hahaha... direct from Lebanon styles :P I dunno' know man... stuff from Lebanon is likely to blow up suicide bomber styles!

Yeah Tim I kinda' mentioned Mel's name in the early dealing with Ang. She obviously carries a bit of clout 'round these parts 'cause they were only to happy to help once they knew I was on a forum with Mel ;)

Yeah I'm startin' to get into the newer lingo Tim :P

skidmark,

I've used Alpine gear a fair bit over the years, always been very happy with it. Your 7850R will probably still be going strong for yrs to come.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
