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:

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
