Sorry, cant beat their deal, but since im the one who decides what goes on special I can try to stick some more automotive kits in there for everyones benefit :D

Thats the AF meter, works quite well, alot better than the old one which was just a bar graph that went nuts all the time. This one actually gives you a readout.

The Voltmeter, Ammeter, Thermometer, Turbo Timer and Battery Protector ARE however on special :D

Ive been trying to get work to remake the kits into a guage style thing, something thats mountable into a round hole, but they seem to think customers wont think its worth the extra cost.

Yeah Jaycar has better audio gear. Altronics retail is a small part of the overall operation tho, its mostly wholesale. Jaycar dont do professional public address systems, we do.

We dont supply much to Jaycar, they source all of their own stuff. Only time they buy off us is when they run out of stock of a common part that we also stock. Their catalogue is alot bigger, but then again Altronics doesnt stock heaps of tacky stuff nobody wants.

We pride ourselves on nerdy retail staff. Luckily i work upstairs and as such am not counted as a nerd :D

hmm almost sparked up a price war

umm yeah you know me zanda, eloquence is the key to business and a few favours here and there (**taps nose**)

nah seriously the deals get good when we decide to group buy stuff

like say for example SOUND DEADening LOL

they have that "brown bread" deadener which is pretty good and their amps are really worth the money no BOSS style crapola here

so yeah anyways at the moment they have these woofers 6" ones with kevlar cones you might have heard about. they have about a 1cm if that part where the glue has come away and the cone is separated from the surround. they even sell you the glue to repair it and they are like $20 for these speakers

now i dunno about you guys but I wanna grab a bunch and build a bit of a home speaker setup for the ol PC

or you can use them for ditching at the geeks at Jaycar/Alotronics (those that work downstairs)

but yeah anyways email me if you need prices on shite and I will check

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
