Anyone know where to get a good custom box and stuff made up?

im all sweet with the wiring and stuff, its more making the box and volumes and all that jazz im stuck on.

Cheers

Try alberts albany hwy man the guy in there was hell helpful for me and pretty sure they do custom installs. or maybe teknic(spelling?) car audio? dont know about them never delt with them but seen there show car about.

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.

yer i like the alberts on albany hwy, i went to the one in myaree but didnt have the same customer service so i prefer albany hwy gives a good deal to if you nice! :D

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.

*shudder* ozcom.

audiocom did my falcon which was pretty good, but i knew the guys there and theyve all moved on. anyone built one themselves?

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

been to alberts, havent used em before but was impressed, they quoted me a bit more than that and thats without a cap.

might take another trip back there and drop your name ;) see if he'll lower the price lol

you mean this? :laugh:

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

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
