Hi guys. I have a 2004 350GT Premium. I'm not too happy with the BOSE sound system so I decided that I'm gonna change the setup.

-New Head unit.

-New Speakers

-Amp

-Subwoofer

I've had a look around the forum but I can't really find anyone who has done a complete audio revamp of their V.

Can anyone recommend someone or a place in Sydney that will be able to do the job?

Is it better to replace the control panel to accommodate the head unit? or should I just

place it inside the glove box?

any suggestions would be great.

I purchased the separate AC controls from Infinity USA and fitted them to the stock fascia which has been modified for the single DIN Head Unit.

Great setup there Mark.

Would I be right in saying those A pillar splits are something from the top-shelf brands? - Looks like Morel to me but could be wrong. Do you mind walking us through your setup? Or if you've detailed it in another post could you kindly link us up?

Cheers

very nice.. though i wont think i'll be spending that much.. i'll be spending more on the range of $1.5K-2K

just started shopping around ebay for the dash conversion. strathfield car radios is selling the dash conversion for $500 :|

massive rip off.

Great setup there Mark.

Thanks Tarun. The system is as follows:

Speakers - Hybrid Audio Technology or HAT. 7.1" midbass, 3" midrange and 1" tweeter.

Amps - Zed audio Leviathan 6x150w one for left side one for right.

Head Unit is the Pioneer P99.

Subs are Image Dynamics IDQ12's

All speaker cabling is Canare.

Signal cable is 8 channel Mogami snake cable w/- stinger bullit ends.

I've got a 160GB hardrive in the centre console connected to the HU via USB so I rarely use the CD.

A link to my build thread on MEA is here. Sorry, it's a members only section so the link will be no good unless you join MEA. :) but well worth it if you are into car audio

Mark i would sugest checking out ebay and getting a din replacement from ebays, you can get em for like 100 bucks for just the face, also i have a non prem v 2003 are the speakers in front and rear the same size? im thinking i might get some pioneers installerd.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
