Title: Air Horns
Post by: knightraider on July 17, 2013, 10:55:35 PM
I have noticed that the standard horn on the GTR is not very loud.

When at the farmyard rally, their was a guy from Ireland who had fitted Air horns that were very loud.

Does anybody else have these type of horns fitted? If so, what is the make and where do you purchase them from, and are they easy to fit or is a mechanic needed?

you can get a mini air horn set up made by Stebel i think, on ebay. The compressor and horn part is all one unit and designed for bikes. As the gtr has such large fairings there is enough room to fit Car size horns, very cheap to buy , easy to fit, best to wire via a relay to get maximum power ,

I fitted what viper has shown above.  I fitted them through a relay from from the horn wires.
