Hey Guys,

I will throw my 2 cents in as well.

This one is for those who don't have 1800 to 2500 to spend on a schwing system.

I have had my skyline for a bout 3 months now.

recycled some gear out of my old car, no point throwing away shit that still works good.

Heres what I ahve and how I have done it.

A couple of years ago I got a cheap Akai head unit ($180 bucks ) that has a left and right RCA plug outputs. Now you may be saying "AKAI, what drugs is this guy on." But let me tell ya I have had comments from people in my car saying how do you get such great clarity of sound out this cheap ass Head unit. Don't know myself it just sounds good. Not particularly powerfull probably either.

I have also bought a cheap ass Amp from Supa cheap for $160 bucks. 4 channel * 200 watts that is bridgeable. Can't remember the brand but they still havem.

Spent $60 bucks on a amp and speaker wiring kit.

I shopped around for my Kenwood 6*9's (300 watts 3 ways) ($180 bucks). I chose Kenwood cause they are a bit Bassier than other speakers, but maintain clarity.

The sub I only have 1 10" sony explode sub (700 watts) 90 bucks. and my front door speakers a re alpine Type s $140.(200 watts).

When i got my alarm put in I had the guys make me up a new parcel tray for my 6*9's, they mounted them longways angled in so they did not have to cut the parcel tray (structural), they did this for $130 bucks installed and carpeted, looks schmick.

I did all the rest of ther install. The forum helped out with R33 wiring for stereo.

I have the 6" alpines wired directly to the head unit throught the high power option. The sub is bridged through channels 1 and 2 on the amp with the 6*9's through 3 and 4 respectively.

Take your time wiring as this will pay off.

So all up over 3 years I ahve spent $900 to $950. including a custome parcel tray!

I ahve had fun putting it in and the satisfaction that comes along with that.

Now to performance, I am not gonna win any audio comps. but I can guarntee you that my wife can here me coming up the street ages away.

And also for fairly cheap I can get another amp the same and another sub and be doof doof around all over the shop.

Hope I didn't bore ya too much.

Cheers

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share.

      Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for Nissan Skyline R34 GTT or R33 GTST (front)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
