Hi!

Need some advice....

At the moment I have speakers, sub & head unit running through my amp. I want to take my sub and amp out and so need to re-wire the speakers to run through the head unit.

Could anyone tell me what I should expect to pay for this? How long would it take?

I have spoken to Strathfield Car Radios and one store quoted $70 and another $120..

Appreciate your help!

Depends on things like:

- what speakers are amped (front, back or both)

- if the standard speaker wiring, plugs and harnesses are still there - or if they need to be rewired

etc

Either quotes look okay, they're quoting around 1-2 hours it would seem, which would be fair enough.

if ur in melb i can give u a hand. its about a 2hour job at my place, matter or removing amp sub and taking wires fior speakers from boot or amp location back to the HU and re wiring it into the loom if the wires are to short to re-solder.

let me know

Thanks for the info! I've actually booked in to Strathfield for this weekend. They are charging $100, which I'm happy with.. In the end I had quotes ranging from $70 to $260..

Soon I will need to install the sub, amp, head unit and new speakers into another car.. (will not be doing this at Strathfield).. so any recommendations for sydeny based places would be helpful! I will also be searching the forum for ideas...

Thanks again

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
