Quick update -

The seats that I am wanting to install into the R32 are not autotecnica as first thought

The model number of the seats I want to install is

Saas - SP30003 - in red and black

here is a pic of the blue and black version of the same seats ...

Just trying to find some rails to suit an R32 at the moment

not really looking forward to customising rails as im pretty sure there are some off the shelf rails for R32's that should fit these

This is my latest mod....

My new daily driver allows me to leave my line' in the garage at home, saving my semi-slicks, race brakes etc.. Some of you may recognise this car as it was previously owned by LTSjayce (its gone to a good home buddy!). So if you see some mad idoit in a subie waving at you in your skyline, its probably me!

well monday last week (27th) i was heading out to the physio at lunch time. anyway sitting at the lights all the speakers (except the subwoofer) suddenly cut out. got home and checked all the fuses, nothing. checked the amps, both were getting power.

went back to elite car sound and vision in belconnen because they were the people that put the sound system in and told them what happenned and they all seemed very perplexed. booked the car in for monday (3rd).

dropped the car off in the morning and got a call an hour later.. it turned out that all the internal fuses and wiring on one of my amps had failed, i believe they refered to it as 'catastrophic failure'. scott got on the phone to the rep from soundstream (manafacturer of the amplifier) and told him what had gone on and that i had spent a fair bit of money on the sound system (all soundstream: speakers, amps, sub etc). the rep said that i can either wait for the repairs on the amp which would be 4-6 weeks or i can upgrade to their latest and more powerful amp for $50.

long story short, i got a brand new amp, filter and wiring in the left front door installed for only $50!! these guys really do some awesome quality work, this is the 3rd car that they have done for me. first was a mild upgrade for my camry thena full on system for my BMW and now my magna, camry, magmry, camgna whatever never had any problems.. highly recomend them to anyone

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
