Hi guys,

Thought I'd stick up a pic or 2 of my first install for you to peruse.

I've got a JVC KD-S895 mp3 head unit, 4 x 6.5" Jaycar Response CS2288 co-axial's, a 10" CS2274 subbie, and a KAC-859 amp. It sounds pretty good, especially compared to what I had before, and didn't cost all that much at all (compared to some installs I've seen). I reckon it turned out pretty well for my first homebrew job. Thanks to my flattie Barge and my mate Dave for helping me to get it all together.

One day we installed the front speakers... Then a couple of weeks later we installed the rears... Then the next day, I got the head unit and that was installed too. And it took a weekend to install the amp and subbie, as well as re-wire the rest of the speakers (as they were using stock). So all up, probably about a long weekend's worth of work with 2 - 3 guys.

Amazing... Especially compared to before - it was so dull and flat. Now it's a much richer sound and louder too :D I had the same effect from moving from $20 PC speakers to $300 PC speakers 3 years ago (IMO the best money I've ever spent on my PC)

That said, I wasn't going for super loud, but for something nice and crisp. And I heard my flatmates car which had some normal jaycar 6"ers in it.. So I'm happy with it, and that's really all that matters, 'eh?

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
