i was only referring to the alarm on its own, installation by a proper fitter will always be above the cost of the unit.... many DEI alarms retail for over 300, and they dont do anything better than a mongoose m80....

i think that coopers may have a listing for cabin filters... i'll check next time i'm at work.. failing that, check on www.blitz.net.au and call just jap, i seem to remember blitz making cabin filters at one stage...

you've already answered your own question by asking the question in the first place. why dont you go buy a plastic electric supercharger off ebay, or a hiclone while you're at it???

viper = poo poo. dont jerk yourself over crap like remote start and those gay pagers. get a decent alarm with all black wiring and three point immobilisation. what a joke to pay more than $300 for an alarm, albeit a shit one.

east coast customs have a kit to put a 1jz or 2jz in any silvia platform. i'm lead to believe that the JZ series are lighter than the RB as well, apparently better for weight distribution. but like DEN001 said, why rip out a perfectly good SR20?? factor in labour, motor, conversion, gearbox, you'd be talking over 10K easily, unless you DIY'd it. then that's before you slap a big turbo and all the other tasties on. so for in excess of 10-16K you'd have a tough as nails SR20, with half as much effort, and more longevity....

what do you rekon? obviously not because you didnt make a comment to induce that sort of response from me. see above.

jaycar = boat anchor. stick with the MRP-F600, heaps of balls, room for improvement, you can run a sub of your rear channels.

send it to kenwood. they'll tell you.

you're a douche. kill yourself.

i sell many of the ms-ibc controllers, i use one myself on my silvia, very easy to configure, and controls boost well. good thing is the RRP has been lowered to $299 on these. pm me if you're interested in one.

here in mackay we've got ultimate and shell 98...

+1 yes.

no. obviously not, that would be retarded. im saying that they come with no warranty or support, and that an australian distributor has been appointed for a reason, and that choosing to directly import parts takes money from them, that meaning that they have less cashflow, and must increase margins to cover costs. (in some cases) yes, this is partly why, their parts are already expensive, without people making shit copies of them, and their appointed distributors doing less frequent ordering due to people buying directly. refer to above, not directly taking money away, but it can eventuate into something like that, what happened to those particular companies was different, just using them as an example, albeit a poor one.

this goes the same for an australian wholesaler that PAYS for the rights to sell a copywrited/patented product within australia, not just some jerkoff who can buy ten sets of a part and sell it for stuff all, being that they havent paid duty, gst or associated expenses. if you want to import your own parts, go for it, what you're doing (in some cases) is illegal, and only serves to push up the prices that the original wholesaler has set, due to them having stock thats not selling as much, which means dead money, which means no more stock, which means no more money, which means no more company. it's in your best intrests to buy within australia, even if it's from a company that imports parts illegally and sells them, as long as it's within your country. chances are the retailer is connected to you in some way. yes, some retailers put ridiculous mark up's on products, but bear in mind, they are there to run a business, not to make friends. When i personally sell parts, i mark them at the retail price that's set by the company, and if someone should choose to ask me about the item, and whether they can buy it cheaper, i'll usually sell it for what i think is fair for the quality of the product. thats only me though, but it's like everything, a few tossers ruin it for everyone. you'd buy parts from an australian stockist if you had any clue about running a real business, not just slapping up a web page. for example- when cletus mcgee buys a set of forged pistons that even though he told you exactly what he wanted, and you got exactly what he asked for and supplied it, BUT its wrong and its all your fault, and he's bellowing over the counter at you, at least you can call the supplier and exchange the part for the "correct one". or if by some chance the part has a manufacturing defect you can get warranty, which no one seems to care about unitl you need it. this may be true, but remembering that: A. stock isnt bought in from japan/china/where-ever daily or even weekly, so therefore, if the dollar jumps up 15% it's not going to make a pinch of shit difference to stuff that's been paid for by the stockist over a month ago, and is now sitting on your shop shelves. B. stockists generally dont raise their prices when the dollar is weak, some will sell things at a low margin, or at no margin, or in extreme cases, at negative margin. B. businesses (the one i work at anyway) absorb a lot of increases, such as freight, until it starts to eat into the profit, so realistically, if you want things to get cheaper when the dollar is strong, you'd have to be prepared to pay for it when the dollar is weak. can't have it both ways. C. Big stockists ofen offer deals/discounts, i do try to pass on the saving, after all, it's about making it more attractive for people to buy. no, i guess some people choose to be someone's bitch for their whole life, and some people start a business and be their own boss, you shouldn't be condescending towards anyone that runs their own business, it's frustrating at the best of times. a good business owner checks the local competitors, and often will try to run some items cheaper than them, but to do that, other things must become more expensive to still make money. in the case of large franchises, it's not often that the performance market is completely understood, because people who understand it break away and try to rival that franchise locally in that performance niche market. i sure will, because it keeps me in a job. good for you for discovering sarcasm.

where do i mention that negun sell fake parts? i said by that i mean, you choose to directly import a part into australia, (without paying duty or gst or other fees like insurance, wage, theft, advertising and all the other expenses that come with running a business,) and therefore shaft retailers and businesses. now re-read, and you may take your foot from your mouth.

i do sell the knock off ssqv's, but they're clearly labelled "monza" on them, and i tell people that they're a copy and not the real thing. its people who are too tight to pay for the real thing because wankers like nengun.com sell directly into australia and not pay any duty or gst, and shaft every retailer and people who has anything to do with the car industry. it's a load of crap. its why apexi and trust went into recievership. if anyone buys parts of e-bay and gets shafted by a copy, sucks to be you.

oven cleaner works good too.

power output? wattage is a consumption figure, not an output measurement. got nothing to do with anything, bar matching the amplifier.

east coast customs are a mishimoto dealer, priced between all the ebay rubbish and the koyo, still have good warranty/quality.

doubt it.

will those fit on an sr20? singally obviously

where i live, most v8's have a few mods, and most of them will eat up 200rwkw, but if you make around 230-250 the power to weight really kicks in and they need to make a lot more to catch you...

yup, sure is. get a mongoose M80 series alarm. australian standards, 3 point immobilizer circuts, black wiring harness, you can option things like window windup modules, siren and chirping when locking/unlocking, and it comes with an onboard turbo timer. best alarm out for such a desirable car.

well if the amp is only 500wrms it'd be easy to clip or underdrive the woofer. like i said, it's only something that can be found by cutting the woofer apart. and unless the amp is rated 500wrms @ 12v @ 0.005%thd i'd doubt it'd make 500wrms.

okay champ spr-17S are 349 RRP. http://www.alpine.com.au/products/product.asp?modelID=314 and i havent heard the boston or soundstream splits in a car, but for what its worth audition a set of Focal 165VR $519 RRP. fantastic speaker for 500.
