raz0r$harP.UK Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I suggest you you check the Looking for a Professional thread at the top of this forum and get in touch with Marty (FHRX) who would be able to quote on something like this. Qu: Why do you want to upgrade your alternator though?

Thanks, waiting on a PM from marty, I PM'd him before asking this question. Want to upgrade alternator because i dont think its supplying enough. It could be that i just need to re-earth and run new power cables (which I plan to do) but the alternator is the original one, and they are meant to be changed every 40,000kms or something aren't they? Any rough guess on cost? Thoughts on the false floor setup?

raz0r$harP.UK Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I don't think the alternator would need to be changed as long as it's still working. New earths / deep cycle battery / decent wire should be sufficient. Cost would vary depending on how complex your install is (eg if you needed fibreglassing, etc). False floor is a nice touch. Probably need more Dynamat too. If you go ahead with this I want pics!

Probably need more Dynamat too. If you go ahead with this I want pics! I want a simple, neat HOT install. No curved edges, no fibreglass, MORE dynamat? I thought I had enough with the bulk kit AND the trunk kit. i dont want any fibreglassing...just MDF and glass (not perspex, want glass i think). just 1 x 10" sub mounted in the corner in flush sitting box (just MDF with carpet) got 0G wiring kit for the new earths and a fairly new battery - not deep cycle. and 4G wiring kit for the two amps (doesnt have to reach far for the R33 battery being in the boot). One of the guys on caraudioaustralia reckons about $3-$4g.... bit more than i was expecting, might have to bring this down by leaving the alternator out, and maybe sound deadening myself.

Chris Rogers Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 $poa ! that would take 2 weeks if done as described and roughly $88/hr in my books should give you and idea.

Trooper Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 $poa ! that would take 2 weeks if done as described and roughly $88/hr in my books should give you and idea. $7g???? (88$/hr x 8hrs x 10 days) Damn its not a show car install, its just a false floor...didnt think it would cost quite that much $7000 is a lot considering there is no fiberglass work being done. Alternator is not being changed now, just upgrading the battery to a yellowtop instead.

dangerous_daveo Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I personally wouldnt use actual glass in a boot... But thats me. Really dude your going to get a lot of different quotes. It comes down to how much time people are going to use doing it. I mean you could get something dodgy for $1k, or spend $10k and get something super fancy all set up 100% right...

Why not glass in the boot? I dont want perspex that will scratch, the reason i want a false floor is so that i can still use the boot. im trying to find a happy medium... 10k is way more than i want to spend.... but i dont want to spend $1000 and have something dodgey. I dont want super fancy. i dont want fancy at all. I just want neat, clean and hot. No curves, no fibreglass, just straight walls, 1 sub box and a flat floor done properly though.

Chris Rogers Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 ok that knocks a week off the job. custom work is time and usually lots of it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142313-what-can-i-expect-to-pay/#findComment-2652570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 ok that knocks a week off the job. custom work is time and usually lots of it. sweet. It will still be "custom" work so to speak. But straight edges and flat panels. I know how all the little things add up in time, and how long it takes to do unusual shapes etc hence why i am not doing it myself (and i want everything to line up nicely too) Might still have a bash at sound deadening so Marty has more time to spend elsewhere. I think that is the easiest thing for me to have a go at myself.

raz0r$harP.UK Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Boot + LEDs = cool. Just had them above the battery but lit it up nicely. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/142313-what-can-i-expect-to-pay/#findComment-2652905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 yeh nice... I dont want it to be "rice"... well not too much. not over the top Keep the pictures coming... if anyone has any photos of their installs in 33's post them up to give me more ideas. Most of the ones i have found from searching are a bit over the top, autosalon style.

raz0r$harP.UK Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 This was how it looked in the day.. Threw in an Optima D51R after that and it was sweet.
