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.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
