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

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
