the cheapest type of sound deadner is called "brownbread' there is a similar product which is heaps cheaper called flashtac i beleive, you can get it from your local hardware. put at least two layers of it and you will notice a huge improvement. I also reccomend you stuffing your doors with dacron to get rid of some of the resonance, it will sound alot better and wont add too much weight.

Kenwood PS911 head unit, top of the line in 2000, no speaker outputs on it, only 4V RCA's x 6

3 x Kicker amps

35W x 2 running 6x4" Kicker coaxials in the rear

65W x2 running 6" Kicker splits in the front

125W x2 running 2xMTX Thunder 8 Ohm Subs

Kenwood auxillary imput unit that runs two stackers and aux into the head unti.

Auxillary sound coming from Toshiba LCD screen and TV tuner in custom mount. Clarion TV antannae

Steering wheel remote.

Being a sedan and the way the subs are positioned and being a sealed box, it only pulls about 135DB.

I think thats it?

It's all for sale.

Make an offer.

Myself and a friend.

That box is 3 cubic feet underneath.

With nothing in the boot, I can sit in it and my head doesn't touch the parcel shelf.

Mind you I'm only 5'6"

I'll be starting on my Skyline next week.

Either full audio visual setup, TV/DVD/DTS/5.1 setup

or

Just a modest headunit and neat boot.

Can't make up my mind?

I don't need to go doof doof doof any more to get people to look at my ride :)

What'ya reckon?

what's your budget and whats your sound preference?

i think in a skyline, modest HU and neat boot is an idea, help not invite the wrong kind of attention (from thieves)

i'd say a nakamichi CD45z HU (looks bland, great thief deterance but awesome sound quality with 24-bit DAC) running 2x12s in the boot (what you prefer) 3-way splits in the front in pods, woofer in the doors, 2-way co-ax's or splits in the rears.

4-channel for the front/rear fill (or 6-chan to run the front fully active :uh-huh: )

or dual 2-chans for the front/rear and a monobloc for the subs.

:)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
