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 downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
