Could always try JB hifi.. Ive had work done at both the marion and Modbury store and both were great. Got my basic custom parcel shelf done at the modbury one and very happy with it. They dont charge a crazy amount like some places

I'd have recommended Adelaide Pro Sound but George has closed shop now ;(

He did however, a wild setup for me. Clarion mp3/cd head, Rockford Fosgate Amp, sound deadening and a set of Rainbow Audio splits for the front. Car already had some rear carrozerria speakers that were ok... going to get a single 10" sub next... like noted, unless you're entering comps, you dont need any more than a 10" if you're just listening to music. I have an 8" sub inside my logitechs on my PC and they go hard.... and 10" woofers have a much better frequency range than an 8". dont know about 12's or 15's but one is more than enuff no matter your choice. (PS think of how much boot space u sacrifice for those 2 subs! egads...)

At a guess I'd recommend ministry of bass. I'd always go for a specialist car audio shop (reputable ones) than any places like Strathies or JB... tho I'm sure that some strath/jb franchises actually employ decent people, when u go to a single shop that has specialists, u know u cant go wrong. Wasn't cheap to get my stereo setup but it was worth >every cent<

(Yeah, u know ur car audio is good when u go to ur car to listen to music instead of the home stereo)

Was a great cartoon back in the day, prob one of the best! Somethings telling me the Aristo will be the most comfy seat in the drivein!! Not too mention my electronic heater that doesn't need a car to be running for it to get warm, I can see a line up to come sit in the Aristo.....

GT autosound....they are well known for doing a wicked job....IMO its your choice what you do with how many subs you want mate....so get 2 subs if you want 2 subs.....personally though i will stick with 1 sub.....1 sub is good enough to get things shaking

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
