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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
