Hey, just thought i'd say a few words about a car audio install I got a few days ago.

I started out looking for a good quality system and ended up going to FHRX.

The main reasons is common discount retail shops such as generally don't have a clue or the right brands and other 'quality' franchise places tend to overcharge.

You'd be hard pressed to get a better intall of the equipment and labour, considering how much time was actually spent was rediculously cheap.

Have a look at the texture in the A colum and then try to work out how they did it ;)

They also like to take lots of happy snaps http://zen.cable.nu/cgi-bin/photos.pl?titl...ion=car/audio1/ of the install as they go so you get to see all the stuff you otherwise wouldn't.

Yeha anyway... getting back to the Sound Off... 2 days after I got back my hifi the SQ (Sound Quality) comp was on I came along, entered and managed to win 2nd in ameture street.

It was a good day dispite the rain and i'd really encourage anyone out there to come along.

Free food and donouts and chocolate!!! =D

What the judges are looking for in SQ is... well... quality. (not quantitiy)... The general idea is that a live recording should sound like a live peformance.

Even if you don't have a hifi its a really good oppertunity to come along and see and listen to what other people have done.

There's all kinds of budgets, from high end show cars to DIY < $1000 systems.

One of the better scores actually went to one that was under $1000 simply because it was well setup. (MB Quart fronts, 100W clarion sub).

More info on the event can be found at:

The next round should be coming along some time in May. I'll post some info in the events section when it gets closer.

Cleutin, they're the sanctioned dB drags champ, not CAASQ.

The sanctioned CAASQ (Car Audio Australia Sound Quality) competition series in NSW is run by us and while these sometimes coincide with the dB Drag events, they are two totally different competitions. The dates for the upcoming CAASQ (not SPL) sound offs are:

NSW Round 3: Sunday 27th May (coincides with SHOOKU's BBQ)

NSW Round 4: Sunday 24th June (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 5: Saturday 28th July

NSW Round 6: Sunday 26th August (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 7: Saturday 29th September

National Finals: Saturday 13th October

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
