thanks boys. ash, those case look great. that is definitely like what i'm after.

you've given me a bit to think about. this weekend i'm going to talk to some local stereo guys again, but if I need to go further a field I'll give your guys a go too jas. cheers. ;)

I quite like this case too http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=6423

and this one would suit as well http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=6675

it seems the silverstone ones will have something suitable. and perhaps I can use the sonos gear to multi-room it and use the bose amps and speakers (just buy the non-amped sonos receivers). lots of possibilities. :)

edit: OK we have a new contender!!! http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=4827

Oh ye there are heaps of cool cases out there.

Just gotta pick one that fits all the AMP/Recievers etc that you pick so they work with size/colour and so on in that respect.

But no question talking to pro's about the sound setup. Id imagine to get the best sounding thing will be a fair bit of dicking around. Even where furniture is would play a part when it comes to acoutstics... and when your spending 20k thats fairly important ;)

well got a quote from bang and olufsen the other day. some really nice gear. looking at the beosound5 and some beosound 9 speakers, but the speakers are stupid expensive. $13K for the pair! makes the bose stuff look dirt cheap, and the sonos stuff seem like it must be stolen... the actual BO system is not too bad. about $8K for the beosound5 which is awesome. lossless CD conversion to it's hard drive. and it has net radio etc. and the interface is sooo cool. the bloody remote costs $1100 though which is a bit rude, but BO stuff has always been expensive.

so I'm still kind of deciding what to do....

beosound 5: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beosound5

beolab 9: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beolab9 (these and the beosound in the lounge room)

beovox 1 in the kitchen: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beovox1

beolab 6000 for the front of the house. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beolab6000

and for outside can probably use the sound from the beolab 9s with the doors open.

but to be honest I think the BO stuff might end up too $$ in the end. :banana: I mean their 40inch LCD High def Tv is $22,000 FFS! and their stereos only work with their TVs...

also considering the beosound 3200 instead of the 5. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beosound3200

Wow mate, that's like a 50k+ system.

Surely you could fit in 2.5k for my media centre in there somewhere :)

yeah $50K is way over the budget. like more than double. maybe triple even. I certainly wouldn't pay $22K for a 40inch LCD. I mean my bravia XBR 46" retailed for about $5K when new and even that was pricey I thought.

so yeah, I think the BO gear might be out. If I went for cheaper speakers, and maybe skip the beosound5 then it could be doable, but when you are up $1100 for a remote things can easily get out of hand.

an update for anyone interested. in the end we did get the bang and olufsen gear. got the beosound 5, and the beolab 9 loudspeakers (or might have ordered the 10s in the end, I forget now), and some more speakers and multiroom gear, another remote (cost about 2 bloody grand!) and even got their beocom2 cordless phones which are kick ass. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beocom2 in plain aluminium of course. :D I'll let you guys know what it's like once it all arrives and is installed. the beosound 5 system is pretty cool and gives lossless sound from CD unlike MP3 etc. the only real downside of course was that it smashed the 20k budget. on the plus side I think the BO gear will hold it's value fairly well and should last forever just about.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
