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)

I'll be on dayshift that week so i could just "chop chop chop chop chop chop" down there, and with a sixer of teds maybe........

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

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
