Alberts, Albany Hwy is where I bought both my Alpine V12's and Fosgate sub. They had a huge rear area with a few cars in bits getting installs.

Don't trust Alberts in Joondalup though, they used to be an OzCom, still have the same owner and the install of a simple alarm system in my TX3 was absolutely shit.

I've been meaning to get a double-din pioneer deck. It's got 6xdvd stacker behind it and the front is a screen (doesnt detatch or hide when turned off or anything), but now I dunno if I can afford it due to someone reversing into my car and looking for new rims and buying mitchy's 400R s/skirts that need to be painted :D

I like the look of that boot install on that HYPER_R33 guy's maroon car, 2 subs flush with the boot carpet (need to take out ur space-saver tyre).. with a amp on either side also submerged into the floor... was gonna do something like that when I have the money.

hey Topaz, thats weird mate, i thought the same guy owned it now. live close by and practically live in the shop lol

got my custom boot done there, did a fantastic job, cost me 1100 including sound deadening of both doors, boot as well as install of a cap, 2 12inch subs and two amps. they did a fantastic job for the money i spent and really did more than i had expected - used vinal etc. if you go there tell em Jon sent you (black r33 skyline). the guy who did my install is an english bloke. really easy to talk to him and he listens well to what you want done. overall did a brilliant job. though when you look at it i guess each person has different experiences with different places. for me, they are my car audio shop.

regards, Jon

I think westside does customisation. Ken at osborne park is a champ imo.

Im guessing your talking bout Ken Or. . . i used to go to him when he was at westside in cannington, then he opened up a shop in malaga and i used to treck out there from armadale to get my gear then a few weeks ago i went to see him and the shop is gone. . .

Is the westside in ozzy park new? ill be back in perth in a couple of weeks so might have to go see him and get some gear :D

But yeah westside can deffinately help you out. Ive seen the earthquake r33 they did its awesome

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
