i dont suppose any 1 on here can do a lil stereo install for me? any of you guys done 1 before?

just want a new head unit put in, i dont have any subs or amps or anything like that.

would prefer to know that some apprentence has not taken my car for a spin while at a shop and its been done the right way not some half assed dodgy wiring job

there can be a bevarage exchange or some $$ might help with your xmas shopping

2 viable options

but on the 1 hand "you cant make friends with salad" "you cant make friends with salad" and they could be drift spec stereo installs? :excl:

on the other hand a name like sinistagts sounds like he could be part of the japanese mafia :excl: i think im getting the headlight switch prob i was reading in the maintenance section (half the time i only have 1 headlight even after changing the globe) so maybe i can con him into fixing that for me as well :worship:

im a north subs boy but im fine with having an excuse to take the GTR for a spin, i still havnt picked up the stereo yet and its ment to be xmas pressie so im trying to work it closer to the day without it being a pain in the ass.

what's the going rate these days

just sneaking this in at work though so hopefully thats good english :excl:

I have a prewired conversion loom to plug your stereo straight into your standard stereo loom, assuming all Skylines are the same (I made it for my R34). $50 if you want it. Plug and play.

sinistagst (dan) is an electronics engineer by trade, pretty sure he'd do stereo installs. He wired up up my boost gauge to my lights, i recommend him.

i thought he was only into engine's, when i met him he left me realising i dont know sh*t bout turbo's.

i dont know what that is :O but isnt $50 roundabout the mark to get the stereo installed at a shop anyway

i can install wiper blades.

if youre interested give me a pm.

wiper blades? :worship: there was some sarcasm behind that yeah

anyways cheers for all the offer's guys wasnt expecting that much of a response, its just a simple install though. i think engineers course is a bit of overkill :O good ta know we got some tech heads in the club though

do stereo's normally go cheaper closer to xmas or just after?

thats the lil baby im looking at, seems to look the closest to the 32's interior style with the slightly old school look. seen it for $300 at autobahn

i was ment to look at everyone's stereos at small car sunday to see what go's well with the interior but i forgot, hopefully ill make it out on the cruize tonight n see what ya all got though

dan, go to ang's audio tell him me and loz sent you. i got all my shit and the alarm installed for less then what the alarm costs by itself plus its pretty close to you.

Yeah I got my alarm fitted at Ang's Audio, top bloke and very reasonable pricing!

i installed my sterio in my car with the help of one of the boys at autobarn (dont work there anymore i quit) and it wasnt that hard really the dash is easy when you pull all the right bits off in the right order and i checked the price for you $300.00 can be done but normaly would be close to 399.00 but in saying that xmas things are cheaper and all autobarn stores have a huge sale on boxing day like everything is sold at almost cost price and get in early cause every man and his dog goes there it's crazy, so hold off untill boxing day if you can

lol $50 for a stereo install - good luck with that! The male part of the loom (if you do an install properly) to plug into the factory loom is $30 at cost. Plus tons of soldering and mucking around. Hence why me selling the conversion loom is crazy value at $50.

Shouldnt cost more than $150 max! Dan (sinista) has done some electrical work on my GTR and have been happy with the result but as Dan said he is a little flat out atm moving to QLD and playing with his new girls car. :ermm:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
