Hi all,

Can any fellow Perth based Stagea owners recommend a place to get audio install work done? I'm looking for people that acctually have worked on stageas before, not the ones who are willing to "give it a go" as they usually break something in the process :D

Cheers!

alternatively, if you dont want to pay a shop to do it, i've mucked around inside the dash of kylies stag, and can give you a hand. :D

+1

unless you are going to install an in-dash DVD player with a roof mounted screen

Then i will run away screaming and flapping my hands like a 10 year old girl :D Been there, done that and have the therapy bills to prove it.

Have'nt contemplated doing this yourself or phoning a friend with a day or two to spare?

If you have the know how, do it yourself as you know you will take care or your pride and joy,

save $$$$ and learn a bit about working on your car.

Manufactures design everything to pull apart soooo easy these days, Nissan/Toyota/Ford especially easy to work on.

Or see a helpfull person like Mitchy.

sounds like a plan mitchy.. what did you do to kylie's stagea?

well.. it originally had a deck/amps/subs/speakers changed, and i removed the deck/amps, to rewire them as it was all over the shop.

the rest of it is pretty straight forward, many a car has had its guts spread out all over our driveway. :P

I wouldnt mind giving it a go myself, but I've never wired an amp before and dont know whats involved etc.. i'm sure i'll be able to do it after someone has shown me how once.

The car has a japanese pioneer carrozeria GPS/TV unit which I was going to ditch, but i managed to wire my ipod to it and got both audio and video running sweet so its a keeper... took two days and i lost some hair, but worth it.

Where do you live mitchy? and what beer do you like?

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
