Hey guys and gals,

Got a r33 gtr and a lot of car audio bits and bods ready to be put into my baby.

A full pioneer gig with single din dvd flip out hu, 2 amps (4chan and mono) 6x9's for the rear and 6" splits for the front. Oh and of course the doof doof speaker for the boot, prob just in a box.

Anywho i was just wondering what stores people have gone through and the workmanship and who you would recommend, preferably south of the river.

Cheers in advance

Geoff

You might struggle with the 6x9's in the parcel shelf though...

It already has the 6x9's in, im just going better quality. it was an import and it looks like the dude had a better setup but removed with the sale of the car.

Also another question, subs in the boot, do they move around alot whilst driving or do you guys bolt down, and if so how does it go with the thin plywood over the space saver.

Also mosoto, does that discount apply for alberts midland coz i was referred to a guy named stuart there?

AHh ok then, if it already had 6x9's then you'll be right (probably has spacers or something yeah?), stock they come with 6.5" I think and there's not much room there..

I have a 12" sub in a box and it doesn't move in the boot of the 32, nothing holding it down except its' own weight.

not sure about midland, Cannington are a Forum sponsor (Mobile Electonics Australia) and they do an excellent job without ripping you off.

I guess you could call Midland (as it's closer) and ask if they do a discount for MEA members.

AND FOR GODS SAKE DON"T GO TO JB OR STRATHFEILD. Sooooo many horror stories from those places.

Oh and don't trust Forum mates named Bubba :D ....................jkn

Bubba, I'd suggest strapping that sub down if you can m8, they make a nasty mess when they let go in an emergency braking situation.

P.S. Gunns, if you've got a decent sub, lose the 6x9's you won't need them, they'll only drag your sound stage backward, unless of course your into that!!!!!!!

Simon or Pete at Alberts Cannington. Join up at MEA ( http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums...Reg&CODE=00 ) and you'll get a 10% discount off the bat

Yeah rang stuart and he said as the install is more of a labour then product cost, he wont be able to do the discount. ive had a few mates get installs done by this guy and hasnt disappointed yet so i might go with him.

Thanks for the advice but ill go with the 6x9's, personal preference.

So decision finalized, 545 for the install of all components and booked for tomorrow.

Thanks for the help guys and ill let you klnow after the install how it looks and sounds

Cheers

lol

As for the sub, physically impossible for it too move forward under heavy braking and It has never slid side to side while heavily sideways either :) the box is generic and barely fits in the boot so she's kinda wedged in there heh

Well i picked her up today and she sounded awesome. you were right bubba, they were 6" on the rears so stuart said if i trade in my 6x9's for ones that fit and bring em back, they can be done... or i can go with the 6x9's and they can cut the back and find a replacement grill for the kenwood ones.

Unfortunately for me i went big on the amps and they dont fit under the seats so they screwed them to the floor of the boot, but when i take her back to have the rears done they will make a custom panel for the amps to free up boot space.

This was the first skyline that stuart had done and i have to say i was quite impressed, everything looks neat and tidy and nothing is out of place except one item, the flashing red light for the immobilizer has disapppeared into the dash so i will ask them about that next time i take it back. But that'll be in a weeek or so coz im off to melbourne thursday :(

Cheers

A very satisfied Geoff

I've got my mono amp tucked away in the boot next to the battery (over the top of the fuel pump lid).

MDF wood to make up a board/bracket to hold the amp. The AMP is screwed onto the board, and the board is screwed into the chassis.

The boxes above the amp are the ABS/A-LSD computers, I think.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
