Can anyone recommend a good place to get a FMIC installed in Canberra?

It will probably be a HKS kit using the stock pipework so the main criteria is for someone who won't butcher the front bar any more than necessary.

Also, some idea of what it would be likely to cost would be handy so I don't get screwed......

I would normally have a crack at doing it myself, but kind of out of action at the moment.

Thanks!

in all seriousness, i have seen numerous front mounts kits be put in by ed at integra, so give him a call and he should be able to sort you out. price, i have no idea so ask him i guess!

Umm, I think I like plan B better. Thanks Gus, I'll give Ed a call.

yea i saw ewen's job on his fmic and i am pretty sure he said ed did it. looked like he did a really good job with it. i did mine myself it really isnt that hard especially if you are using the stock pipework its just time consuming to do it properly.

Ed did Ewens which is a HKS kit and its beautiful... mounts perfectly up, pipework fits without scrubbing on everything and how it should. Doesnt cost too much either... take him a Hybrid kit and he will swear at you for days though :) jokes

Yep, that was mine. Chris was fitting some of the Whiteline/Bilstein gear from Sydneykid's group buy.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
