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?

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
