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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
