Hi guys hopefully someone can help me out with a problem I have with the two front door speakers in my 32R.

I recently bought the car so I have no history of what was butchered. It has an aftermarket head unit, 6x9s in the parcel shelf and 3 fat ass audio cables going to the boot.from behind the dash.

So, the problem is the front speakers do not work, even when the stereo is biased for the front only. The thing is though that when the alarm 'beeps' a sound comes out of these speakers.

Any ideas about what could cause this, they must be connected to something.

I plan on replaceing the factory units too, can anyone recommend a speaker/size that fit the factory attachments as I can't be bothered chopping/crafting a housing for big speakers.

Thanks in advance!

I've just had the door cards off and got the speakers working. There were two light cables (somehow connected to the alarm I assume) attached to the speakers, haning near them were some heavy audio cables, I just swapped them around and radio came through the speakers! Also there were some sweet Pioneers in there so I don't have to upgrade.

I plan on using deadener on the doors for sound quality, there are cheap rolls of it on ebay. has anyone used cheap stuff? Do you 'get what you pay for' with body deadener?

yep cheap stuff will end up on the door bottom or falling off in the heat all the time. use name brand only on doors, roofs, bonnets and boots. you dont save much when you consider you have to redo it a few times then buy the good stuff in the end anyhow. clean the panels well first and use a roller ? dont cover drain holes and watch for moving parts , windows, door locks, do it half ass, you will get a half ass job sound too

dynamat, stinger, soundstream, second skin, and a lot of other name brand stuff is fine.

jaycar not fine, falls off all the time ends up on the floor where it sticks fine to everything in sight,....... you , the cloth, vinyl, glass, just not where it belongs, and tar stains bad

your car sounds like its been hacked up by someone who has no clue, I would check a lot of the underdash wires and radio for bare wires, loose connections, but only you if know what your looking at ? DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT!!!!! and what you think is ground can be a light switch wire , tests like a ground when off, turn on the lights it has power !!!!

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
