i dont suppose any 1 on here can do a lil stereo install for me? any of you guys done 1 before?

just want a new head unit put in, i dont have any subs or amps or anything like that.

would prefer to know that some apprentence has not taken my car for a spin while at a shop and its been done the right way not some half assed dodgy wiring job

there can be a bevarage exchange or some $$ might help with your xmas shopping

2 viable options

but on the 1 hand "you cant make friends with salad" "you cant make friends with salad" and they could be drift spec stereo installs? :excl:

on the other hand a name like sinistagts sounds like he could be part of the japanese mafia :excl: i think im getting the headlight switch prob i was reading in the maintenance section (half the time i only have 1 headlight even after changing the globe) so maybe i can con him into fixing that for me as well :worship:

im a north subs boy but im fine with having an excuse to take the GTR for a spin, i still havnt picked up the stereo yet and its ment to be xmas pressie so im trying to work it closer to the day without it being a pain in the ass.

what's the going rate these days

just sneaking this in at work though so hopefully thats good english :excl:

I have a prewired conversion loom to plug your stereo straight into your standard stereo loom, assuming all Skylines are the same (I made it for my R34). $50 if you want it. Plug and play.

sinistagst (dan) is an electronics engineer by trade, pretty sure he'd do stereo installs. He wired up up my boost gauge to my lights, i recommend him.

i thought he was only into engine's, when i met him he left me realising i dont know sh*t bout turbo's.

i dont know what that is :O but isnt $50 roundabout the mark to get the stereo installed at a shop anyway

i can install wiper blades.

if youre interested give me a pm.

wiper blades? :worship: there was some sarcasm behind that yeah

anyways cheers for all the offer's guys wasnt expecting that much of a response, its just a simple install though. i think engineers course is a bit of overkill :O good ta know we got some tech heads in the club though

do stereo's normally go cheaper closer to xmas or just after?

thats the lil baby im looking at, seems to look the closest to the 32's interior style with the slightly old school look. seen it for $300 at autobahn

i was ment to look at everyone's stereos at small car sunday to see what go's well with the interior but i forgot, hopefully ill make it out on the cruize tonight n see what ya all got though

dan, go to ang's audio tell him me and loz sent you. i got all my shit and the alarm installed for less then what the alarm costs by itself plus its pretty close to you.

Yeah I got my alarm fitted at Ang's Audio, top bloke and very reasonable pricing!

i installed my sterio in my car with the help of one of the boys at autobarn (dont work there anymore i quit) and it wasnt that hard really the dash is easy when you pull all the right bits off in the right order and i checked the price for you $300.00 can be done but normaly would be close to 399.00 but in saying that xmas things are cheaper and all autobarn stores have a huge sale on boxing day like everything is sold at almost cost price and get in early cause every man and his dog goes there it's crazy, so hold off untill boxing day if you can

lol $50 for a stereo install - good luck with that! The male part of the loom (if you do an install properly) to plug into the factory loom is $30 at cost. Plus tons of soldering and mucking around. Hence why me selling the conversion loom is crazy value at $50.

Shouldnt cost more than $150 max! Dan (sinista) has done some electrical work on my GTR and have been happy with the result but as Dan said he is a little flat out atm moving to QLD and playing with his new girls car. :ermm:

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
