Anyone around Wollongong (South of sydney) that can install a Car audio system (the lot, head deck, splits front and rear, amps, sub, dynamat etc)

In a R34 GT-T 1998 Model.

Thanks in advance, as i asked around some electronic stores and they charge a ridiculous amount just for installation.

FHRX Studios .. don't look any further. They're NOT cheap but they WILL do an excellent job and won't damage your car in any way. Tell Marty, Denis with the black R34 sent ya :D

I only had them fix up some wiring and install dynamats etc in my doors ... don't have the moulah to do the next step. Just for approx. ref. I got quoted about $1800 to rewire the entire car properly with heavy guage wire, a custom sub enclosure, with a decent 12" subwoofer, 4 channel amp, installation and tuning (atleast 6 hours of work) etc.. it'll probably be a bit more if you need dynamat done as well.

Do it once do it right .. you don't want someone scratching up your interior or things blowing up or car rattling like an empty can after a cheap job.

I believe their hourly charge is $77 ... you might find cheaper eg. $55 ph but is it really worth it? If it takes 5 hours you only save $100 going to someone cheaper, who maybe doesn't have any clue as to what they're doing or doesn't care as much as Marty does.

You can save yourself some labour charges if you really have to by getting dynamat sheets yourself and installing them. It really looks simple, you just need a small roller (to make it stick good) and a couple of hours and you'd be done with the front doors.

As for gear ... they can supply anything you want and their prices are VERY good (not a big markup at all) I've compared some of the quotes I was given to current 'specials' at some other places and sometimes they were even lower.

I know very good chap in ENMORE (Sydney), let me know if this not too far so I can giveyou need his details

Do you know how much they charge on install alone?

Im trying to find someone private so i might be able to grab it cheaper :D

why bother. if you are going to cheap out then you are only screwing yourself.

that said there are people in the sydney market charging $110/hr and dont have a clue..

food for thought.

FHRX Studios

i can vouch for marty and the boys , they will look after you

i did a amp install there and it was perfect , and the boys did a great job , even stuffer around it for 2 days until they sorted it to be 100%

you do pay a little more but in end you will be happy and problem free

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
