Thanks, yes, the whole point of the sound in the car was to have one of the best sounding Skyline-stereos in the world. And I think my car is pretty damn close to being among the top 10, not that I have listened or seen anything like this in a Skyline. :)

To reach good sound quality and power I have so far in my car:

Pioneer AVH-P6500DVD Headunit

Pioneer DEQ-P6600 Digital Sound Processor

Xbox

Rockford Fosgate 12" subs x 2 (trunk)

Rockford Fosgate 10" subs x 2 (backseat)

Rockford Fosgate 6.5" system x6 (front with 4 tweeters, back, trunk)

Rockford Fosgate Amps x 3

Tudor Maxxima DC 900 battery

Rockford Fosgate Condensator

30A power charger

Extra monitors in trunk and sunscreen

Mate sweet as set-up.

guys u gotta hear one of these set-ups. i was out alst nite with a few mates crusin round and one of them has a complete Rockford-Fosgate set-up, pretty much the same as yours and the sound quality i phenominal! I mean u can stand outside and have the car going past and u can hear everysingle word so clear its not funny!

The quality when its really crankin some big soundlevel is exactly the same.

If i has the money i would definately be getting a Rockford-Fosgate install!

When are you going to start work on the rest of the car???

The stereo is mean but the front seats could use a retrim and some hectic mags wouldnt go astray !!!

Umm as for sound deadening what have you done? ... i have two JL 12in subs squeesing out somewhere around the 130dB mark my car from outside sound like its farting and everything shakes and rattles you got the same prob with your setup???

If you dont what did you do to fix it???

Rest of the car? Well, everything one step at a time. I changed color on rims and now starting to tune, I have ordered HKS blow valve and Blitz intake.

Im sure the chairs will change, but still looking for best price and wont buy until I find really what I want (or find sponsor :) )

Actually I havent done any deadening at all, the car is very tight and I have no metall rattling when standing and listening outside. :huh:

now THAT is a sound system :P thats what i wanna do to my car when i get more money, i just spent 2 gran on new rims lol, so it may be awhile, atm im runnin a pioneer p9650mp headunit, 10cm pioneers in the doors and pioneer 6x9's in the rear parcel shelf, i also wanna get a pioneer dvd player to replace the lil try thing we put in above the headunit, and as for the boot.... :D

major plans, sub wise i wanna get these awsome new blankpaut 12" subs, they have like a lil blue led running around them and stuff, they look sweet, dunno what else yet, i'll have to consult this thread when the money comes in :D

got a pic of ur head unit install? i'm curious to know wether or not the head unit can be put in the top slot instead of the bottom, as i rekin the tray looks better below the HU....the R33 i might be buying, i'll replace the HU it has asap, as its Mini disc, and it just has a hole above it, where a controller of some type used to be...

where did you get the tray ?

nah soz dude i dont, the trays comin out but to make way for a dvd player :P

ummm just go to a nissan dealership, and say you want a tray from the center console bit from a 99 pulsar, i think thats what it was i dont rember now, but yeah find a thread on here about "nstalling a headunit in an R33" coz thats where i got all the info from

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
