Whats with this word CHEAP?

Car audio shops dont work for nothing. They have an hourly rate of $85 an hour to stick at least otherwise their business wont survive. Something to think about if you want a better job than what you currently have in your car.

i got my install through this guy in 3 cars now, he used to work for strathfield but has his own setup now. he came to my house in nedlands and did a top job for about 30% cheaper than anywhere else. name is daniel 0408792466. great work he does but prepared that hes not the most reliable person around as in he wont be there on time haha

Alberts or CarStereoCity are the 2 major car audio shops that come to mind... but they would be the most expensive

Although I have heard good things about the knowledge and quality of installs at Strathfield also.

damn strathfiled.. may them and their clan detortiate with immediate effect. diy with car audio seems like the best thing to me

Had a bad experience mate? :sick:

Although, I agree with the DIY thing, I have done my own a few times in 3 different cars and some friends...

they already have here in brissy- they are contracted to private fitters now. ( I have one.) only irony of it all is walking back into the place and taking it over since a lot of the people that worked there when I did (5 years ago) are still there :P

anyway..

DIY if you have a clue if not pay for it :)

Sorry,what do you mean when you said you got your install through this guy in 3 cars ?

Do you mean this guy has done or installed your sound system on all your 3 cars ?

I'm sorry,just a little confused.Is he like mobile service ? They come to you and do it in your garage ?

Because I actually want to install a new set of front and rear speakers that I bought,but Albert's & West Side said it's going to take at least 3 hours and

I don't have anyone to pick me up.I mean,I don't wanna wait 3 hours inside the shop and do nothing haha.If this Daniel guy can come to my house and

install my speakers then that would be awesome !

Thanks !

Haha very funny man.Of course I know but I live like 11kms away from West Side.From the shop to my house and my house to the shop will cost me $35.00

I'm the kind of person who likes to save lol.I'm cancelling my appointment with that mobile service guy anyways,the earliest they can do it is on Thursday next week.

I better wait 3 hours and get it done on Monday :).

Thanks !

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
