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.

I Love big stereo's.

Dan needs 4x12"inch sub's in his white rocket.

nah quit doing things like that years ago. no money in it considering the time you put in :)

kinda wish this game ws like building engines but its not always the case.

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.

yep there are a few mobile guys tucked in there. access car audio is at wellington pt.

redlands car audio - thornside.

those are two I can think of.

ipswich - nup. been there already . JB killed that market. hell SCR moved out of the brisnabe st location about 7 months back for that reason. Auotbarn fell back a bit when JB opened. not about to commit suicide by going in there. wow is set to go in at booval as well at some stage.

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
