Gay horn

[jman69]

Hey, is it just me, or does anyone else feel a bit woosy when they toot there factory fitted Patrol horn?? Might have to invest in a more manly one i think?

[Sir Roofy]

dont know havent taken much notice at all
i dont use it very often

[MEGOMONSTER]

I'll have to agree horn doesn't quite suit the "truck" we drive.

[Winnie]

You are right indeed. That's why you do what I did and put one of these in!

My sister gives me grief about it all the time lol. I use to have the dixie land one which is the same as the one the dukes of hazard have on their car but yes agree its a little on the feminine side

[Clunk]

Yes it certainly comes rto something when the missus Honda Jazz has a much more manly sounding horn than the patrol........ might have to swap them over lol

[macca86]

Could be worse the d 40 navaras I laughed when I heard my mates horn

[patch697]

I think that was my very first mod I ever did & not a second to soon either..........hahahahahaha

Bet yours isn't as bad as Dhucks!!! lol. He's got old PigTrol the ex comp truck and it came with a full roll cage, scrub bars, dual lockers, reduction gears, 5" lift, 35" muddies, full diff lamination, etc, etc, and the sweetest little "toot toot" horn ever invented!!!!!

Suits him though!!! lmao

[threedogs]

I like to call it alternatively different just to be PC and not offend anyone.
Fit locker/ fit air horn.
problem solved

I fitted vintage klaxton horn aaoooooooooggaaahhhhhh lol

I've got a few "alternatively different" mates as it happens!!! I'll be sure sure to inform them of their new "label"!! lmao

But as for having a car horn that sounds like some squeaker wearing a pink tutu, on top of a float shaped like a phallic symbol at the Sydney Mardi Gras, squealing "I just want respect"?? Yep, I have one of them!!!. And my aforementioned mates would agree whole heartedly with me!! lol

[my third 256]

put tripple air horns on mine problem solved

[Bob]

At 70 I dont use mine much any more LMAO

Hey Bob, At 70 are you sure that you don't use it all the time, but just can't hear it :smileyvault-cute-bi

[BearGUST]

I "borrowed" a couple of horns off a car at work - they were getting crushed anyway!
I put them on and they were great, only problem is they are trumpet horns so fill with water during a river crossing...
I've actually ordered a pair of Narva disc horns, hopefully should solve the issue.

Dad had a train horn years ago, hooked it up to the comressor in the shed and give it a blast.
The whole nieghbourhood came out on the street to see what the hell just happened LOL
It was a mates but I remember it hanging up in the shed for years when I was a kid, must ask what happened to it.

[snewin]

For those stebel nautilus hobbies would you use a relay or just the existing wiring for one of the existing ones.

Had one on my motorbike a few years back and forgot all about them. Great little units. Might be just the thing.

[MudRunnerTD]

Second Massive vote for the power of the Stebel!! Got one on the GQ and need to fit one to the GUIV. They are very small and easy to fit anywhere not like the big triple horns and easily as loud

Check out this great vid most of you have probably seen but i blast the horn at the end! Its a Stebel and Its at least 100m away from the camera

Relay for sure but power the relay from your factory horn supply. From memory it might even come with a relay.

I mounted mine of the top of the inlet manifold above the fuel pump behind the power steering pump

[threedogs]

Thanks MudrunnerTHATS WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT I've been after a very loud horn that was compact as well, this ticks all the boxes.
Will probably mount it inside the wing of the bullbar, plenty of room. Look forward it fitting it now.

[Winnie]

Relay for sure but power the relay from your factory horn supply. From memory it might even come with a relay.

Mine came with the relay. I got the 300hz one, not the dual tone one.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one for Gertrude. Will definitely make her sound more manly.

[threedogs]

Make HER sound more MANLY. what the!!!!!!!

[snewin]

Gertrude is L-O-L-A Lola's big sister.

[threedogs]

She was a show girl and nows she's a he, did I get that part right?
I'm confused, didn't think Patrols were gender specific, then again I call mine NEV

[snewin]

Mine's definitely a girl. A big one. She doesn't have camel toe, she's got moose knuckle.

[Winnie]

Mine's an inanimate object, THE PARTY BUS HAS NO GENDER! But it certainly has character.

[jman69]

ah, had a feeling it was'nt just me Ha Ha

[snewin]

Just had a look and there's 2 pissy little horns on Gertrude, so I ordered another Stebel.

[threedogs]

Ordered a Stebel 139Db horn, looking forward to trying it out on the first bugger who tries to cut me off.

[Winnie]

Trust me and I say this from experience. The look on their face is like they just got a nice kick in the proverbials.

[P4trol]

So how do you "kick 'er in the guts"? Or tell people" she'll be right?

[Irvs]

my mate said my horn sounded a bit limp wristed today then I read this. Stebel now added to purchase list

[Winnie]

They are a great bit of kit. I will post a photo tomorrow of how I mounted mine, mine is on a completely different circuit to original horn, so I have the "g'day mate" horn and the "OUT OF MY WAY" horn

I can see new threads popping up mid next week when people get there's in the mail. "Where to pick up horn switch from". Haha

Really easy. Double up off the back of the factory horn positive then to the relay for the Steb and it will work off your steering wheel

[Irvs]

I'd probably switch mine or put it on a big red momentary button with a missile switch cover with "In case of dickhead driver" printed on it

[P4trol]

Hmmm steel seem to make a 139dbm horn (quick browse of evilbay listings)

But I couldn't find much on the output of Hornblasters horns. (if you have seen their videos, they get two types of mail: love mail AND hate mail)


One has a distinct price difference over the other.

[Bigfoot]

Hey, I had a similar concern with my GQ. I attatched the two two horns from an s13 which gave my Patrol a more rounded, less weak tone. As they are like bums, i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to pick some up from a wreckers?

Nice easy bolt on option to consider

[Lambroast]

I fitted a $40 odd Stebel from Ebay. Comes with a relay, but I didn't use it. Std wiring works fine. And its brilliant ! Already paid for itself. Some knobheads walking across the road in front of me at scarb beach against the light. Gave them a good blast... By the looks on their faces both needed new undies I'd reckon !... Priceless. !

A mate loved it so much he asked me to get him one for his patrol (97 GQ RB28T). All I can say is they're plastic and don't mount them on the engine like he did.... Melted it down and it fell into the fan. Spread nicely through then engine bay and buggered all the the belts. Fkn funny at the time !

[Winnie]

You will probably burn out your switch mate best to put a relay in...
I'm thinking about putting another one in for double the loudness.

[P4trol]

How much current do they draw vs the standard one?

[MudRunnerTD]

X2, They put a relay in the box because their unit draws enough power to warrant one. Really simple to put into the loop. Whack it in. If you need advice ask away ;)

[Timbo]

When I saw the thread title.. I expected a video of a Patrol with a voiced horn... "OOOohhh Puhleeeze.. Moove outta the Waaayyyyy honeeyyyy!"

[MEGOMONSTER]

Just purchased two Stebel blasters and can't wait to fit them up and blast somebody.

[MEGOMONSTER]

I'm gee'd up now, no more meep meep

[threedogs]

We need them here in mexico, as some drivers of Asian appearance,and others of African appearance, appear not to be able to drive.
Not to say that people of caucasian appearance are any different, even saw one chap with phone velcroed to the back of his wrist,{hands free} LOL

True story MEGO, as you know you see a bit more from a 4x4, especially in summer.
My Sebel horn has arrived already, can't beat that for service, bloody loud, I love it

A bit of feedback about my purchase of 2 x Stebel Nautilus horns off Steetfighterau off eBay.

They arrived in a day or two of ordering. One worked perfectly and one didn't work, the motor spun but there was no sound. I contacted Streetfighterau via eBay to say one of the two didn't work and he responded straight away with a testing procedure to follow, which I did, and confirmed that the horn didn't work. He posted one straight away to me without me having to post it back. I've actually received the replacement horn today and it works perfectly, and I still have the original non-working horn, which I'll post tomorrow. Now that's what I call customer service.

I am highly recommending Streetfighterau eBay store for your Stebel Nautilus horn. A 5* seller and excellent customer service and quick postage. Can't ask for more.

Doesn't get much better than that hey!
All fitted up? 2 of them would be mighty loud!

Oh hell yeah. I still have the s**t eating grin on my face

[Winnie]

Hahah boo yah! I've got the 300Hz jobbie and I think another one would cause earthquakes. Would love to fit a second but have no room in the engine bay!

[Irvs]

Haha Kris, they come in pretty colours now so you can mount it outside the engine bay if you like, I'm thinking bright red

[Silver]

Went to onlineautoparts who have a shop in Geebung. They were kind enough to plug both the truck style Stebel horn(139 kh ?) and the Nautilus into some sort of power supply.

The first thing to note is that the instructions say that the 12v model draws <18 amps - I don't know for sure that the power supply had the grunt necessary to show full potential.

However, the Nautilus produced a very loud nice sounding shriek. G'teed to wake up wayward pedestrians, and maybe even cut through Iphone wearing people's lack of attention.

The truck style job was not as loud - and as has to be expected, was not the same experience as half a meter or a meter of metal horn connected to a huge airtank. It wasn't bad, though, and compact.

The horn came with a relay in the packaging. I went mad and spent $10 on the wiring harness to suit.

Being a single mounting bolt, the increased flexibility means I'll probably be able to get the nautilus out of the engine bay and in front of the radiator where it will be more audible.

Finally, the Nautilus (and maybe the truck model, forgot to check) comes with a fitting so that the air pickup can be run to a source that is dry and clean.

[threedogs]

Fitted mine Stebel in the bullbar, only put a larger fuse in at this stage [20 amp]
Go figure sons an auto lec and can't get relay wired up. still think I'll get another for
the other side. Very impressive horn for no air. I likey

You disgust me.

[threedogs]

really nothing came up down under?? amazing lol

[Silver]

Threedogs, you went for one of the electro mechanical ones, not the air pump model? Will you follow tradition and get the second in a different pitch?

I can remember older cars that had a switch on the dash - town or country. I think they set the lower frequency as 'country' on the basis that it went further? I don't recall if there was an option of sounding both together with that set up.

[threedogs]

Reading the box or ebay, one is louder, the truck I think. the other is dual
mines the black one, mounted right out the front behind the left wing of bull bar
quiet in cab but sure its loud , I've had the chance to use it twice already, works well'
as you suggest Silver I will use different tone for the other side.

[Winnie]

Got a photo of how you mounted it? Interested.

Not the best but,, bullbar is the 4mm TJM Outback ,mounted just at the end of the lhs chassis. on each side there's 2 slotted holes, winch is behind chrome pic. will try for better pic tomorrow

lh pic is from the front, just noticed powder coating flaking off, better fix with powder in a can

[Winnie]

Thanks 3dogs you're a champion! I like that idea, might relocate mine out of the engine bay, it's pretty baffled in there. Would be able to put another one in there too!

[threedogs]

Heaps of room out the front, plenty of spare holes as options to bolt it to.
I used a different bolt and just ground the head to fit the horn body, easy enough mod IMO

Engine bay would be last place to install it, just make sure horn is pointing down to keep the junk out, you'll be fine

[Irvs]

Installed mine today, just put it in the engine bay passenger rear corner, heaps of room there, knocked up a small bracket for it to mount on the rear wall ledge.
Works well, scared the crap out of a couple of my mates with it, haha, good stuff

The truck one is deeper and quieter. The nautilas I bought is two tones out of the box.

[MEGOMONSTER]

The 2 x Stebel Nautilas air horns are now fitted. And I've been blasting away, terrorizing the neighbors.
They are real easy to install, with only basic skills required.
Remove the two horns (1 left side, 1 right side)from behind the bumper and bolt in new horns. Wire up both relays, wire up the horns and your done. Next time I won't drink so much before I start. Or drink so much during. 2 hour job took me 5 hours. But I must admit even though I was going at a snails pace, pretty tanked, I did a very neat job of it.

The Missus says it sounds even more gay with the new horns.
I told a mate I got new horns last, he goes " Yeah let me hear it" so he stood in front of the car and I gave em a blast and he nearly shit himself not expecting them to be that loud.

When I dropped off the car off this afternoon for gauges fit up, the sakes guy got one of the apprentices to have a look under the bonnet, before he drive the car into the workshop, and blasted the air horns and dare I say, he sh@t himself is an understatement.
Funniest thing I've seen for ages.

She expected a deeper type tone. It is quite a high pitched horn and damn loud too. Might see if I can fit the 300hz horn somewhere to have three blasting.
After fitting my boost/EGT/battery gauges, I blasted the horn to fitter as he was walking around the front and sh@t himself, jumped a mile.
