Hi guys,

Thought I'd stick up a pic or 2 of my first install for you to peruse.

I've got a JVC KD-S895 mp3 head unit, 4 x 6.5" Jaycar Response CS2288 co-axial's, a 10" CS2274 subbie, and a KAC-859 amp. It sounds pretty good, especially compared to what I had before, and didn't cost all that much at all (compared to some installs I've seen). I reckon it turned out pretty well for my first homebrew job. Thanks to my flattie Barge and my mate Dave for helping me to get it all together.

One day we installed the front speakers... Then a couple of weeks later we installed the rears... Then the next day, I got the head unit and that was installed too. And it took a weekend to install the amp and subbie, as well as re-wire the rest of the speakers (as they were using stock). So all up, probably about a long weekend's worth of work with 2 - 3 guys.

Amazing... Especially compared to before - it was so dull and flat. Now it's a much richer sound and louder too :D I had the same effect from moving from $20 PC speakers to $300 PC speakers 3 years ago (IMO the best money I've ever spent on my PC)

That said, I wasn't going for super loud, but for something nice and crisp. And I heard my flatmates car which had some normal jaycar 6"ers in it.. So I'm happy with it, and that's really all that matters, 'eh?

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
