Well I just got a quote from All Type Crash, they said 300 to paint my (brand new fiberglass) front bar and $50 an hour to fit. I'm hoping its going to fit pretty well and won't take longer than 2 hours. How does that quote compare with your experiences guys?

Th catch is the fitting time

When I replaced my front bar recently we went through 4 of them before we found one the workshop were happy to spend time fitting (the others required too much work)

All of the bars we ordered were NEW fiberglass from supposedly reputable bar manufacturers (there were several companies we wouldn't even look at). Given the choice I would have ordered plastic from the manufacturer, but that wasn't an option.

Power FC, injectors, Z32 airflow meter, braided brake lines, RDA rotors, EBC red stuff pads, aluminium radiator, nismo radiator cap and silicon radiator hoses.

I think that is all for now. :)

Hahaha thats awesome Shaun

Rhys you can roughly expect 170-180rwkw at boostworx

(this figure is based on another guy here that made that power no mods)

you guys are welcome for the group buys and building relations with traders, when you get an alarm Rhys foot forget to mention sau for your discount

as for painting stuff i saw our other recommended alarm installer and he gave me the card to a guy up the road from him i will give him a call and see how he pulls up on price

nice mate, any particular turbo you have in mind?

Also, where are you getting your alloy radiator? Im thinkin the same thing.

I have the MSPEC Radiator that is in the group buy section but i bought it from an adelaide distributor for the same price as he is selling them for.

I bought mine From Car Torque Products in Kent Town i think they are located.

Not sure whether they are getting more of them in though.

I will hopefully be looking at either a HKS GTRS, Garrett GT3582, Garrett 3071 or a TD06 20G.

Not sure which way i am going yet as it depends on funds and the girlfriend as to how far i can go. I am hopefully aiming at 280+ rwkw, but that is quite far away as the next stage of mods i am still pricing them up as i will be changing quite a few parts to make the car easier to work on and give better throttle response. Eg forward facing plenum ect

wow lol and i thought i was bad hahaha

im hoping to get my boot done, new front seats, bit of interior re trimming :bunny:

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up to Ricc @ Auto Perfection! :D:ermm::)

Had 20% tint done on the legnum windows & alarm installed on Tuesday. Excellent job, 2nd to none customer service. Great guy and great job - very happy! :D

*note: price was also fantastic thanks to Steve's negotiating skills :)

+1 more from me.

awesome bloke, quote me $470 for my alarm and amp install, cleaned up all the dodgy wiring from previous installs, ended up costing a bit more, but it was quality work, all looks factory. the alarm cancelled out my factory boot release switch, so he offered to wire in a new relay (to run off the alarm remote) next time i booked the car in, and get my bonnet struts regassed at the rates he gets them. :D

basically, the dudes f**kin awesome :D

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
