I saw a post here (which now I can't find) where someone bought and installed 350z horns on their Maxima. I hate the horns on my 2001 so I thought I give the new ones a try. I bought both the high & low note 350z horns and I tired to install both the 500hz & 400hz 350z horns and I can only get the 400hz horn to even make a note. The one horn sounds ghey by itself and I think it only works for the regular horn and not even for my security beep. Anyone know exactly how these wire up? I didn't think it would be this diffucult. Thanks.

Part #'s I got:
25620-CD000 = low
25610-AL500 = high

 

I dunno if this helps. I use Hella's Supertones on my car. But what I did was wire them with a relay. Basically pick up an regular 30 amp relay. What you want to do is wire the positive from your battery to the relay, relay to the positive on the horns, and from the negative on the horns to a ground. Then you find a positive signal for your stock horns, run that to the relay, and then to a ground. You would have to check the relay on exactly where to hook them up. Also you can wire up the horns in a series (where the negative on one horn goes to the positive on the other). Give that a try and see how it helps.

Sounds like your not grounding them correctly.

 

Get one relay per horn? And I can pick these up at a Radio Shack?

 

You could pick them up at discount auto parts or autozone or something like that...

MaximaSe thats a funny pic lol

 

GaMax97GLE: One relay should do fine for you. You could use 2, but that could complicate the wiring, and make it more of a mess. I'm only running one relay for my hella's, and believe me, they are more than loud enough.

s0ber: lol, it's pretty funny. I had just enough weight in the back, and hit the throttle just right when Mr. Gone took that pic.
BTW, that semi-truck was uber fast! My 2nd gen beat him by like a .5 car lengths yo!!!!

You can use 1 relay to wire 2 horns?

 

make sure that each horn is grounded properly!!! I didn't use any relay to run my Super Hella horns and they seem to work well. I've had them for over a year now. I just connected the factory wires to the positive side and grounded each horn.

 

You can use the factory wiring if you wanted, but if you use the relay it will be louder because the horns are getting power almost directly through the battery instead of doing through the switch on the wheel. Either way way should work.

I've never dealt with 2nd gens, but I know in 3rd gens (and I'd guess 5th) the horn button on the wheel is just a switched ground and the stock horn already uses a relay so you wouldn't really be gaining much be adding another relay.

Eric - if you're still having troubles, I could probably take a look sometime and help you out.

 

Thanks for the info-

I just went to Radio Shack and got some connectors to get the horns grounded. On the horns, there is a little tab where I guess the ground wire should be connected. I'll see if that works.

 

It's definately not grounded properly like a few people said. I have those OEM 350Z horns on my car and they work great. They are plug and play.

 

Eric let me know how it went. or stop by over the weekend so I can help you out...

i bought the 350z horns and all i had to do was plug them into the stock harnesses. but come to think of it, it does sound kinda wimpy... i didnt add any ground wires to it, would those change the sound much?

 

OK do I need to visit a car lot just to blow a horn? I assume the 350 doesn't have the typical Japanese sounding horn. Does it have a more Jerman like horn or American type sounding horn? No sound bite is needed, just curious.

Sounds like a the horns on a lot of American cars and pickup trucks. The note is very deep compared to the stock Max horns. Night and day difference.

 

Thanks, I was just curious.

I have no time anymore, so all I have in are one 350z (high) and the stock secturity horn. So when I blow the horn it sounds


Got to fix these tonight!
