Just recently had a new deck, sub and amps installed into my Stagea by someone recommended by the shop. I used Install All in Wangara and was very impressed.

Received really good service and advice and the quality was excellent.

Also installed new alarm system with extra features that were a surprise.

Would recommend him to anyone.

He hadn't seen a Stagea before so with the help of some posts on here he worked it out for the wiring, etc.

He was most impressed with the quality of the Stagea (particularly the wiring) and so much so, he wants to buy one for his wife to replace the Impreza.

I told the owner, Marty that I would post something on the forum (which I put him onto) about the experience, so here it is.

His contact details are:

Cheers Al

Thanks for the info Al. If I didn't live in North Bunbury I would probably give him a go based on your rap, but it would mean at least a cut lunch and a waterbag to get there for me :D

I've done a stereo install in 3 cars now, and I can say it's so much easier when you pay someone to do it. Knowing they're a decent installer helps people know where to go. I'll always do the hard bits myself, but sometimes I get little problem, and I always take it somewhere who knows as they can probably fix it much easier than me.

I've had the opposite experience - the once I used an installer (years ago) it took me more time to get it going properly afterwards than if I'd just done it from scratch myself.

It really is an easy job to do yourself, then you know exactly how it is setup, and exactly what to do if you want to change anything...

Whilst for some it is easy to do an install for others they either don't want to or would prefer someone else to do it. Changing head units is something I have done myself but installing amps and subs not done that plus I had full alarm system installed that I wasn't going to tackle.

Guess if you want to do it yourself, do so otherwise pay for someone to do it for you.

Cheers, Al

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
