Connect the dots and go in between.

There are no car audio places it seems in the wynnum or manly areas.

Also Norman park, Camp hill, Carindale, Carina, Morningside, Cannon Hill, Greenslopes, Annerley, Fairfield, Mansfield, Upper Mt Gravatt, Eight Mile Plains.

And remember...if you come to Yatala, we can have lunch together every day! yay!!

im at mango hill on the northsaide ......

so id say yatala would be getting to my limits only cause it would be a pain to organise someone to follow me over to get a ride home if my car had to stay there.

current location I'lldrop you off at the train or city. trying to keep this idea into play.

yatala does have a lot of sites and most of those are within reach. there are some though that are $48k+ and way out of my reach.

I reckon if you can get a place somewhere inside a 5-10km ring of the city you're set as far as volume goes because the random mums/kids that want some front speakers or a basic head unit will choose based on convenience (and price obviously). If you're focussing on the enthusiast market then you have more leeway because as you've pointed out, people will usually drive further for quality work. So it depends on where you see your business focussing in the near future. The other thing to consider is, where are you going to be living?

Anyway for me personally, as a general rule I'd say I'd travel an hour for quality work, more if the quality is exceptional or I'm getting a lot done at once.

PS I need to get you up to put those horns in the 33!

kinda over the deck and two brigade. most of them tend to want things done for nix. that said its simple work and pays bills.

been looking at inner areas after our chat yesterday and can't seem to find a cheap one. about to look at wynnum/manly now.

DAN,

fair point. you have the right idea on it. I need to look at town planning as SSI (wow audiovisual) may have put their foot in the door on a location there.

going to capalaba there are 3 shops in 100m of each other. so that area is out.

keep it coming- I'm off to look of a few websites.

also don't forget yellowpages.com.au...you'll find that they may be a couple/few car audio places not picked up by google maps :)

I would like to see a good shop go up on the northside, I mean, there are a cockload of decent workshops on the southside but really F*ck McAll up here on the north. Brendale\Virginia all of that are would be the best places to have a look around, even strathpine, Mt Gravatt etc...

I stopped using the guys up here a fair while ago because I was sick of being ripped off, Driftking once quoted me 2.5k to install my intercooler ... i mean, wtf?

I would be willing to travel 45min (living in Bracken Ridge) or so to get work done, I just run into the issue of getting someone to follow me down, as our cabs cost a god damned arm and a leg.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
