Stereo install day

Just throwing up an idea.

What if we had a stereo install day maybe in a Strathfield car park where you bring, or buy on the day, your uninstalled stereo gear and the people in the club with experience can help you install it?

We wouldn't be making any sub boxes for you but I think it would be fair to say that the main purpose of this is for the experienced people to help with wiring for those who know nothing or very little about car electrics and to show how things like the dash come apart and go back together for those who haven't delved that deep into their cars as yet.

We can also tune the system once it's up and running as well as explain along the way what things are and how they work.

You're planning on doing this at a Strathfield car park? Don't think it'll go down too well.... it is part of their business you know.

Also; the soldering irons which plug in will be useless, you won't have readily accessible power. So you'll need a gas powered one.

Its a good idea in theory, but i dont know how well it would work, stezza installs do need a bit of concentration and explaining it to the unknowing user would take alot of time, so 3 people in the know how with stezzas, and 8 uninstalled systems would be a bit whack.........

Umm who said anything about Strathfield Car Radios.? :)

i'm pretty sure thats what adams saying

i thought the same thing before i re read it and it says "A strathfield carpark" rather than "THE strathfield car park" as if there were some car park where you usually do these things

could be wrong though

You provide the beer, ill provide the tech support, ill also need a lift....

"Lets see who can wire a stezza good after smashing a few beers day"

:happy:

pfft electrical tape, gaffa tape ftw, grip like no other

i've got 1 or 2 power converters. just plug into cigarette lighter and converts into 240v AC that i was using for the ps2 in my m3. but now ive got one laying around since its out now.

im not sure if we can hook up a few with extensions and a power board (with the car running ofcorse). its just an idea though.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
