Hey guys, so this weekend i thought im gonna' go all out. 

First off i was building stage one of a sound system for the R34.

Front: Rockford Fosgate T162S Splits

Rear: Rockford Fosgate T162C Coaxials

Subs: 2 x 12" MTX ThunderX Subwoofers

Amps: Jaycar Response  2 Channel (2 x 150rms or 1 x 500rms @ 1ohm)

Jaycar Response 5 Channel (too many specs)

All installed by Doran Pro Audio in Bankstown.

Secondly i got myself some new rims for the R34. Didnt want to go full bling by dumping Dolce's or Lexani. So i settled for 19" Starcorp Impul 19x9.5 ( No spacers needed )

Well im lovin' it. Does turn heads though :)  

Next up on my list: 

2 1/4" Cat back zorst to keep her a lil quiet, and to not loose compression ( at the moment its running 3 or 3.5 cat back with 4" Canon, the previous owner had this on it and have'nt had time to get it changed )

Got quoted $350 for the catback with a canon ( Bankstown Mufflers ) 

After that, planning to lower the front just a lil' bit more to slightly cover the front tyres / rims. 

So what ya'll think? :closedeyes:

Hey Dori32, I provided all the hardware, except for the RCA's and the Speaker wire. They had to mount the amps aswell and fix my sub box aswell.

They also spent some time tuning it aswell. So all up $400 driveaway and any dramas i can go back to them. Keep in mind the dvd cost 110 itself to install.

But yeah lovin' the system, took me some time to find the right components to compliment each element. :) .

Yeah i had my eyes on the Starcorp Impuls for a while, and when the right deal popped up i didnt waste any time :(

Takin' it upto Brighton and La Perouse tonight so if anyones down there come upto us and the BMW

Haha cheers Cris.

Trav33. To tell you the truth my mate bought me them, he owed me a birthday present for my 18th. So he hooked me up with rims and rubber, but on Tempe they them for 2100 with rubber. And yeah they fit just fine man, i had a feeling i would need spacers but my mate just told me just whack them on and stop being an idiot haha, so i did. And havent looked back since :)

Drive's great, certainly a great upgrade from my stockies, they used to wheel spin like no tommorrow. And yeah i wanted to get spacers.. but the thing is they're illegal.

And i want to keep attention to a minimum on this car.

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
