Wow, you're car looks great, almost exactly the same as mine only mine doesn't have all the badging and stuff on it (to be thruthful im glad, didn't want some dick trying to get the S logo off the bonnet with a screwdriver :bonk: )

As for my baby :) booked in for rego on Thursday, should pick it up next weekend if all goes well. I'm all psyched up now! :)

Anyways, good luck with it, that's one nice looking car!

well the car arrived today took it for a quick spin around the block mmm turbo's are nice. other than that it needs a really good clean and a bit of cut and polish and it will be sweet as. Goes into rego on thursday and seeing as how it is stock as a rock it should have no problems. also tested all power options eg indicators, break lights, mirrors windows etc etc all work fine so yea i may actually get spotted soon WOOT. hope to catch up with some of you soon.. FINALLY :wassup:

yeah, lets see, i got the custom plates sheet here (i wanted GAJ 33T but it cost about $1,800!!!!) the example RH 351 costs $313 for tin and $399 for plastic, unique plates (like GAJ 33T) are $1,894... if it looks like a manufacturer or model (e.g Ni55an) that's $3,531 and numeric plates go from $627 to $4,602

Almost forgot, plates with your name on them with seven or less characters cost $627.

I just ended up getting standard plates, but the lady at the motor registery Gaye was really nice and after seeing the number combo i wanted went and found plates with the numbers 33 in them. 33M or 33C... i went for M.

About the plates, i noticed the standards fit just fine in the rear bracket, but at the front they're a few centimetres too long and had to be bent to fit in the mounting brackets. It looks pretty crappy. Is it possible to get a smaller plate for the front and how much would i be looking at for that? I want to keep it blue + white like the standard plate on the back too.

Side mount it.

Also, some places make a bracket which brings the number plate out past the front of the bar. I've still got tin plates, so i just cut the tin plate shorter so it fits in the bar.

on the R32 the plates dont fit at all without bending, so the front i moved to the side and the rears bent, not much can be done about it

good to see the two of you will both be on the road soon,

Kinda yes....but what would they prefer? no plates at all? :D

When i get around to ordering a plastic replacement for my tin ones, i'll whip up a bracket to side mount it. Give more flow to what's left of my intercooler, and looks good too :) Brake ducting...who needs brake ducting...i've got a great big stainless pipe there for the intercooler anyway

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      All 4 wires from the head unit into the converter. That's both channels, so you do not lose any bass information that might be in one channel and not the other (which decent music should have, but I'm sure the shit that the kids these days are listening to probably doesn't). Connecting both channels with alleviate the floating input problem highlighted by Greg above. As to what you should do with the outputs from it - they should also both be connected to 2 input channels of an amp that can sum the two channels and yield a single low passed output to a single channel. There is often a switch on channel amps to achieve that goal. If you're just listening to modern electronic music, then you can probably ignore the fact that there's two channels and just listen to one of them. If there is missing information it will probably only improve it by not being able to hear it anyway.

      Does this mean now that it doesn't need to meet Targa spec you can ditch the twins, and crank up the power?

      By sonicii · Posted

      I would just use one channel, if you use L+ and L-.  I would connect the R+ and R- input wires together, since it seems to have a 12V input, it might have some small preamps in there and you don't want them sitting with open circuit inputs.

      It’s over 25 years old, there’s probably a loophole to be able to be able to register it now

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      as we all know the Q50 stereo from factor has no RCA outs so i bought a Kicker output line convertor to use from the factory sub. but im wondering as the device has L+ L- R+ R- which ones do i use for my subwoofer? its only going to be 2 wires as im not worrying about doing my stock speakers just my sub. do i just use the 2 L+ L- or do i use a combo of L+ R- or what?
