Hey guys, Wanting to get my car alarm installed, im on the gold coast, i dont really have the time to take the car to a workshop at the moment nor do i really trust them.

there was a user on here that had his own business and that was based in brisbane, i cant remember his name nor any threads he has posted in... but he came out to you...

would like to try and find this user again OR do any of you suggest someone that i can talk to about installing this?

Thanks

CJ

Yeh i was in touch with him last night, looks like ill have to try and take the car up to him though. :D

It's a ball ache but it will be worth it ;) when some ghetto rat tries to take it and fails it will make it all worth it:)

yeh its acually working out alright, big day for the car tho lol.

6am - guy comming to do gaurd rolling

7.45am - wheel alignment and full setup

10am - powertune and connecting up some extra goodies now that iv run the motor in

4pm - over to chris's to stay there the night

lol. problem is im now stuck in brissy without a way home haha

There's this thing called a train, apparently you can catch it and it'll take you from Brisbane to the Gold Coast and other various locations. Crazy I know, exactly what I thought.

haha anyway on a serious note, I was chattin to Chris not long ago and I'd have to do the same thing and drop it up there, can't wait till i finish uni so I can go full time and have enough money! When's the car going up, and how much?

Also how much to get the guards rolled? my fronts need it bad!

well.... he quoted me 400-600 for the install. but the car didnt make it to him tongiht.

My new clutch was slipping so i couldnt even get the car power tuned....

so in my frustration i ordered a new twin plate clutch and bought a new car! :@

wondered what happened today. I gto the phone call mid arvo and folllowed most of it. now it makes more sense.

to those asking for costs : best not to. I work on a car by car basis and as EVLWOG (hi laurie!) will tell you with his I seriously DID NOT FK around with it when I did it.

hehe!!

anyone else will take too long to get into it let alone find things in that car.. see ya late thurs.

thanks for the compliment. (the R33 will be done the same way.)

Yeh so sorry about it, was rather....angry at the time, the car will get to you, just have to make it movable once again... :blush:

  • 5 months later...

I realise this thread is a bit old now, but I still wanted to add my 2c.

I just had an alarm installed in my R32 GTST by Chris at Audio Express, I can't express how happy I am with the job done.

Not only did he install my alarm PROPERLY, he also managed to fix the reception on my stereo, ripped out the "baby turbo timer" that came with the car, since the alarm now handles this, tidied up the god-awful install job that was done on my e-Boost 2 controller, removed a bunch of wiring that went to nothing (last owner must have decided to remove whatever it was, but left the switches/wiring behind), he re-used some existing components from a previous alarm after testing them to be sure they worked fine (saving me money) and even tightened up the after market shifter nob that I had been too lazy to fix.

On top of all of that, each time I called him with some random question about the system, etc, he was always happy to provide answers.

So a big +1 to Chris at Audio Express, I can't recommend him highly enough.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
