Upgraded horn

dP3NGU1N · 08-14-2014, 04:16 PM

Has anyone upgraded the horn on their Z?

Over the past weekend I was driving back and forth between LA and OC and on 3 separate occasions I was nearly merged into on the highway. Everytime it happened I laid on the horn but I could barely hear it, I can't imagine the cunnt in the other car would be able to hear it.

Just thinking about the situation pisses me off because I really shouldn't need to use my horn but people are stupid and I need a better way to let them know.

Have you tried using a finger?

This should work well for you

I'm afraid my tint blocks it.

Also, these people clearly didn't even realize I was there because they didn't hesitate or stop. I had to slam on my brakes and quickly change lanes before I was run off the road.

Doesn't Nissan make a 'sport' horn?

Nissan Factory OEM Sports Horn Kit

It's listed as for the Cube, but I'm almost 74.39297% sure it'll fit other Nissan applications as well.

Not sure how much louder it is though

lol, I have daydreamed about having a train horn on my car. OP I would suggest it

Lol, having a compressor in my car is a bit more dedication that I'm willing to commit to.

Problem is, with some people you could be driving the oscar mayer wiener truck, with a oceanliner horn, and they would do the same thing. (male or female)
Glad no damage was done. Actually, I am going to see the Dragon next week, and the grandson is taking me to the dukes of hazzard museum in Gatlinburg. They have the "Dixie" airhorn there for $60.... Want me to grab one for Ya??

IMHO.....there is a fine line between really making your point....and becoming as obnoxious as the other guy, then yOu becoming their target. I've looked into it. Hela makes some hellacious horns. Changing them out on the Z, I don't know about.
Excuse me ... It's Hella Supertone.

I'm not sure I can pull it off with the Z unless I get a confederate flag wrap for my roof.

You and I both know that after an hour of ownership you'll be thinking, "best. investment. ever." lol

kenchan · 08-14-2014, 04:40 PM

honestly i think the Z's stock horns sound fine...

dP3NGU1N · 08-14-2014, 04:45 PM

Currently looking at these. Just don't know if they're universal fitment because there seem to be a few of them that all look the same with slightly different model numbers.
