[mostizzle]

Good luck. I've been fawning over a set of the tinted Brazilian s10 tails on there for years now.

[StirFrey]

haha, its either that or im going full size again

[mostizzle]

ZQ8blazer has those in his truck, I forget where he got them. That site would be great if someone could help us. Shipping from Brazil is probably a kick in the nuts too.

[StirFrey]

i think im gonna go ahead and order these tonight, i feel bad that i havent done anything for my noma pretty much all summer since ive been on the bike every chance i get, thoughts on them? $91 shipped
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...JBL_P6462.aspx

im open to suggestions for speakers too, as long as they are no more expensive than those^ shipped gotta be 4x6 and no deeper than 2.5"

[95s10rmtrooper]

Maybe some Rockford's ?
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...nch-P1462.html

Or some alpines?
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...e-SPS-406.html

Jbl speakers are pretty good tho

[95s10rmtrooper]

I also recommend using that website they have pretty good service

[Forklift]

sonic electronics sucks ass and they arent authorized to sell a lot of that stuff, so no warranty, but those Rockfords are nice

[StirFrey]

i went with the JBLs the plate layout sold me... and it looked like a pretty good price compared to other places, i really like RF but wanted to try something different

[AK49BWL]

If you hadn't already bought, I'd have thrown in that I have that set of Alpine SPS406 speakers... Would buy them again and recommend

[StirFrey]

well, if im not in love with these i will look again, and take your recommendation into account
thanks!

Clutch slave and master? I don't know what they're asking for one but if I was in the market that's the set up I would be after. Fcuk bleeding that shit. lol

[StirFrey]

yeah, clutch master and slave, not sure why my linky didnt worky....
$75.79
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1136094


and i saw a lot of people were having problems with their obx having a raised lip around the exhaust ports on the head... is the one you linked me going to have that errr no, err you dont know?

[StirFrey]

i have a new dilemma, i just hooked up my new JBLs in the dash, first of all the right side doesnt fit... that air duct is in the way, i think im gonna try and heat it up and see if i can push it down/bend it a bit so that the speaker fits, other suggestions?

my real problem is if i turn my volume above 15 with these hooked up the stereo shuts off... wtf?

oh and they have little switches on them, its for selecting 0dB or -3dB, which do i want?

[mostizzle]

I'm not sure about the header. I'm kinda anti-header, it seems like I hear about more issues with them than good shit. Are the (+) (-) to the speakers hooked up right? no pinches wires? How far is the one off from sitting flush in the hole?

[StirFrey]

the pos and neg are correct, at least i think they are, on the right the pos is light green and neg is dark green, on the left i have tan hooked up to pos and gray on neg i dont have any pinched wires, and the right side is about an inch to 1.5" from fitting... as far as the header, i need as much power as i can get, and with my current shitty set up developing a leak, i want to do it with good parts and do the WHOLE thing at once so i can be done with it

[mostizzle]

IMO the factory manifold is already pretty damn header like in design but whatever wets your whistle. That blows about the speakers. You put a efan and CAI on this thing yet?

[StirFrey]

haha, nope, all in due time, you know how big my list is, it will all get done eventually, im sick of sounding like a tractor tho so exhaust comes first, i think after that im going to try and hunt down my leather TA/Cameeeeeeeeeeeeero seats in addition to the new bed

edit: just went thru my list and was able to cross off 2 things that i forgot to take off, that made me happy

[mostizzle]

I went with a new factory style exhaust with a turn down before the rear axle. Cost me a whopping $144 bucks and it carries a lifetime warranty. Honestly I think you'll see a bigger performance gain from a efan and intake and they're quite a bit cheaper than the header. I can understand the cool factor and because racecar though.

[AK49BWL]

I can also vouch for efans.. Best thing I ever did to my truck imo. CAI, somewhat but not nearly on the level as getting rid of that clutch fan.

[StirFrey]

my "cai" will actually just be pulling air from the cowl... when ever i get around to doing that...

i think i might have heard a little bit of static coming from one of the dash speakers tonight... ill try and re connect them tmro but i dont think its that... im not sure what to do...

[StirFrey]

just ordered master and slave prebled kit from rock auto, im still having some issues with my speakers... its not as bad as day 1 but the stereo will still shut off on its own and then start back up again if i turn it up loud... and im not 100% sure its coming from the speakers, but i smell a kind of burning smell... and i think its when i have the stereo on but like i said, im not 100%...

I think you have a short some where, burning smell is never good.

[StirFrey]

it comes and goes... i cant tell if its coming from the exhaust or from the speakers...

[AK49BWL]

Could be the amps in the stereo are going bad. It would explain the unit turning itself off and back on, and the speaker static.. Beside that I'm really not sure what would cause your problems, unless maybe the speaker wires themselves are shorting someplace.

[StirFrey]

i think im gonna pull the deck out some time and see what kind of condition my harness is in, ive been wanting a new deck... just not sure what i should get, my requirements are it has to light up green, and it has to have amp outs so i can do a sub.

i installed my prebled clutch cylinder kit today, its SOOOOO nice not having to hear the squeak from my clutch pedal anymore

[AK49BWL]

Thing I've noticed about a lot of decks these days is, you can set the color they light up. On most, if not all, you can even set different colors for the screen and buttons individually.

[StirFrey]

i guess i havnt really looked, last time i was in the market for one it was pretty much red or nothing... lol

[StirFrey]

i aligned my truck today and put my front tires on finally


now i finally have a correct sized spare too lol


this hapend before hand, and is what prompted the tire change over all of a sudden

[StirFrey]

probly gonna order a header this week, ive read bad things about the pacesetter, so im leaning towards this one.

thoughts on either?

[Stewzer55]

I have the OBX, seems to work fine but it hangs a little low. I used a band clamp on the joint in the down pipe.

[StirFrey]

i want a band for it, what size did you get? or do you have a part number?

oh, and im not worried about it hanging low, have you seen my current exhaust? lol

[StirFrey]

ordered, i think i remember reading that i should replace the manifold studs with nuts when i install this, anyone know anything about that and want to chime in? maybe with a part number or helpful tips? oh also, maybe a part number for a decent gasket. and heat wrap for my clutch line.... :P

[StirFrey]

im trying to find a set of rear fuel lines but im having a hard time, all i see is either extended cab or long bed, are the ones for the extended cab the same length as the short bed reg cab?

[BlazerZR5]

What do your '95 fuel lines look like? are they quick connects at the pump? or fittings like a box body?

I have a set of these:

[/QUOTE]

They are regular cab but,'99

[StirFrey]

i think they look like that ^
it looks like you have a 3 line system, i have 2 lines, im really confused about the fuel lines on these damn things... ill crawl under it tmro and check it out

[StirFrey]

i think they have the quick connects, but yours looks like a 3 line system, i think mine only has 2 lines, ill crawl under and check it out tmro, these fuel lines are really confusing me...

[Stewzer55]

95 doesn't have quick connects on the hoses...

[BlazerZR5]

^see,that's what I'm afraid of. I don't mess with anything older then '96...

I know some of the older models have rubber hoses with fittings at the pump.Im pretty sure the tank lines from '96-early '00 are identical.only thing that changes is length be it reg cab,Xcab....I just started saving fuel lines recently so I dont have much of a selection yet

[StirFrey]

oh, yeah, my bad. no quick connects

[StirFrey]

stew, what size band clamp did you get?

[Stewzer55]

2 1/4"

[BlazerZR5]

Yeah,Mostizzle and I figured that out a few weeks ago! lol. that's why I asked..

did you fix/replace the bed yet?

[StirFrey]

no it will happen by spring at the latest. and i do plan on replacing. not fixing

[StirFrey]

it doesnt have that ridge around the ports like some people have had on the obx

[StirFrey]

i hope someone can help me out with this, im going to do my exhaust this weekend, i need a band clamp that will go over my crossover pipe connection, i dont really wanna weld it. the smaller part is 2 1/4, the larger is 2 3/8, i need help finding a clamp that size. i need to order it asap so i can have it this weekend.

i picked up some cheap gabriel shocks for the back of it today. cant wait to have a softer ride again... ordered a muffler too

[Stewzer55]

I used a 2 1/4 and it has held up fine, after making it really tight, I think the biggest PITA with this is the header to down pipe connection.

[StirFrey]

i was under the impression your down pipe was compressed and slid inside the cross over pipe. or is yours like mine and the cross over is expanded? did you use copper shit on it too? i was gonna seal it with that, along with the ball socket thingy

[Stewzer55]

When I put it mine, the hardest part for me was getting the downpipe secured to the header itself, I used no sealing stuff.
