alrighty guys my parents bought a air conditioner (split system) just recently and are planning to get it in before they leave to go on their holiday for 3 weeks. i'll be left in australia as i'm not going with them so i'm kind of pushing the installation forward and trying to find some one good and reliable to install as the shit is getting hottter!

now i have no idea about air cons but we have a 3.2kw cooling and 3.7kw heating split system. standard install i guess and nothing more.

been getting quotes of up to $750!!! and i know it does cost alot to install but i need someone resonably priced and is quite reliable. don't wana be paying someone $750 and get a shitty install u know.

so if you guys have anyone in mind that has done one for you and was very happy with the results please pass on their information to me!!

i'm in hoppers crossing so anyone around that area would be good or if someone knows anyone from another area but is willing to come down that would be awesome.

That quote is standard price. No matter you install 3, 4, or 10 units, each unit price will cost about that much, you won't find any much 'discount'

I paid $800 for our 8kw unit PLUS $500 water pump plus extra $200-300 for extra piping due to we're not having an external facing wall that is big enough to mount the internal unit. So we had to get the water pump in a storage room behind the internal unit that pumps out the water through an additional about 3-4m of piping material over to the outside of the house. Bad house design.

If you have an external facing wall that you can use to mount the size of the internal unit, you'll be lucky as that $750 is the only one you have to pay. But insist on a certificate of electrical safety and plumbing from your installer. If they can provide you with it, then you are covered. If they don't want to provide you with such certificate, WALK AWAY, even if they offer you cheap $hit price. But again, it's your house, it's up to you if you want to take risk just for the sake of saving a few hundreds bucks...

Our installer is pretty good, but he is usually very booked out like 1-2 months away. I don't think you'd be able to wait that long?

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
