RE: Does my R32 GT-R need a sound system?
Yes, you do need a sound system. I love the sound of my car just as much as any other car guy. Plus with the external gate and screamer its kind of hard not to love listening to the RB roar. However, sometimes you cant open the car up, you are stuck in traffic, waiting for someone to hurry up and get back to the car so you can get going on the Touge, spirited drive or winding journey... its times like these you will wish you had some kind of system in place to fill the void.
I know lots of people who have said "im going light weight" and taken the stereo out of the car, just to end up putting it back within the year. it don't have to be a DB monster that will win comps. but a decent set of door speakers and a 10" sub in a small sealed box can be just right in the power to weight ratio of usable and functional.
my Stag has the aforementioned set up and its on a quick release system too, with the removal of a couple of clips and 1 screw the sub box can be out of the car in about 3 minutes, perfect for track days etc. but still gives you the luxury of having a system that can rumble the mirrors at the lights.
Just my 2c
Noted your 2c and gave you an extra 13c upvote :) I hear you, however I probably get a maximum of 1 hour seat time a month between all of my "toy" cars for the time being. Gearing toward a purpose built racecar with the GT-R. Just need another 20,000 pound to throw at it but need to buy a few more cars next year first then I can get back onto the track and modding again. Already rocking a stripped out rear and boot in the GT-R for almost 2 years and haven't listened to music in there since probably 2014 odd. :)
wow i must be moving up in the world, lol. nah i would say its because i havent had much of a chance to upvote over the past few days do its the first time i have voted from 100% in quite a long time, lol.
well depends on what you wanna do really, my 86 is stripped pretty raw but still has a sound system in it too. i put carpet in it so police dont have a cry. but sound deadening and insulation is gone, heating and "A/C" gone. all the crap behind the dash gone. composite pannels.
