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

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
