Hey getting my sound gear installed tomorrow but got quoted 750. The guy i bought the sound gear off who gave me an awesome deal referred to this guy they are mates. The installer owns his own custom shop. Had a look and they seem extremely professional. But the price seems a little high, a few years ago i thought 300 would be about right. Below is what is getting done

Install dvd/deck

Install Soundstream front/splits and rears (note they need spacers and a bit of customising as they are very thick/big)

Install soundstream rears

Install 4 channel amp to run speakers

Install subs (note the are already boxed with outlets)

Install amp to run subs

Install neons for under dash in car

Cheers

nah, that's about right... if the install is quality with all wires hidden, everything solidly in place and all connections crimped and done properly, that's an alright price :banana:

But to be honest, I wouldn't really know cause I do it all myself... for free! ;)

Cheers buddy dont feel as bad for forking out anymore

I cant stop spending money on this car, its a curse i tells yah

yeah I have to admit, even if that was for a very close friend, that is a shit load of work! I would set aside an entire weekend for it and ask for at least 300 in cash... and then I would expect them to get me laid the next weekend...

most friends only need a headunit or a sub installed or something like that, they don't go the full hilt like you and I ;)

But to be honest, I wouldn't really know cause I do it all myself... for free! :P

right on doof, do it urself and save $$$ put it towards other mods...

nothing beats spending a weekend with ur car interior scattered all over the garage floor!!!

Doof, did you make your sub boxes yourself as well? Your boot install is pretty out there from memory although i havent seen it myself.

Cheers,

Nah, that was the only part I palmed off to someone else. Never learnt how to fibreglass on my first car and I didn't want to f**k it up on the line :D

The boxes in the boot is all I didn't do. I didn't even let them install anything, I gave them one sub to measure and that's it... I installed and wired up everything else :D

I have to admit, after doing that since I was 16, I can think of a LOT of things that beat it :P

But I wouldn't let anyone else touch it in a million years :D I love working on my car, and it's even better when you have some mates, some beers and a good wam summer :P

that looks about right to me the neons alone take 2-3 hours at best.

the audio side of it is fairly involved. the front/rear speakers will need work to make them fit.

amps - depends on how they are done for me I would mount them on a panel

time wise its a full day job at a minimum.

I was getting the exact same type of equip (minus your brand names) in my 32 gtr and i got quoted $820 at one place and $890 at another.

Decided to pay my best mate $100 and my old man a case of beer and we got it done across 3 days.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
