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?

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.

Must be something new they're teaching in driver's school. Used to be those merging onto the highway were supposed to match the speed of highway traffic AND adjust their speed to merge safely, either speeding up or slowing down. If your town is anything like mine, now the majority of drivers just putt right onto the highway without even looking if anyone is in the space they are pulling into...AND then they act all indignant because I didn't come to a stop so they could enter the highway doing 40mph (70 mph limit).

Oh, and apparently getting to the end of the entrance lane is an automatic right of way to cause every other driver in the area to take evasive action!

That happens around here as well. Especially the last minute merging maneuver that many drivers pull. And god forbid those bastards don't make it into the lane; they usually straight up block the lane they're stuck in because they refuse to budge until they get their way. So people behind them are scrambling to get from 60+ mph to 0 within the next 40ft or so.

But the 3 times this happened to me this weekend were during cruising speed. Once at 11pm when the highway was actually mostly open.

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

TexasChuck · 08-14-2014, 04:27 PM

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.

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