Hi All,

I am looking for a Car Audio & Security installer in VIC, if anyone can please suggest or recommend an installer and especially with V35 experience. You can post on this thread or private message me, it would be very much appreciated. FYI, I am currently looking at Street Sound & Vision (SSV) in Thomastown...

Cheers,

I already gave you a lead in boronia. can give you a second in moorabbin if need be. shame I'm not in town or I would do the car myself.

That would be awesome if you were coming down in the near future, I can wait till then... I rather have someone with extensive experience dealing with V35's touching my car.

I'm planning to put in a new sound system as well, so just trying to suss out SSV cause they gave me a very good deal for a system and I put a deposit on it, which I should have waited... :unsure:

Thanks for the referrals guys!

Just got my gtr done with a full system and very complicated immboliser, got it back last night and he did an immaculate.job, he lives in templestowe and his got awsome prices. Pm me if your interested

FYI

turbo timers and remote starts are a defect in australia

As many threads will already state - turbo timers are illegal to use in Australia. Just drive slow for the last coupla minutes of the journey and let it cool down. For reference:

ADR 25: Turbo timers are not to be fitted to vehicles manufactured on or after 1 January 1972 (ADR 25 Anti-Theft Locks). ADR 25 requires that the normal function of the engine only occurs when the ignition lock is in the engine on position.

That basically covers both turbo-timers and remote start - in each case, you have the normal function of the engine with the ignition lock isn't engaged.

I just had my stereo installed by riverside customs in werribee. I am no audio expert but they did a really good job in my opinion really neat work and they didn't take any shortcuts they take their time and make up all their own spacers etc.. They are apparently one of the few installer in Melbourne that still specialize in large fiberglass custom installs. Anyway I had installed a kenwood ddx8036bt headunit, alpine type X components, Polk 500.4 amp and morel rears. What really impressed me was that when I went to pick the car up they told me they dropped a bit of solder on the driver side scuff panel and it had made a mark. They told me they had fixed it best they could and had ordered me a new replacement one. I couldn't believe it when I had a look as I could not see anything even when it was pointed out to me. In my book that alone makes them someone worth talking to as I think it is so hard finding honest people that will do a good honest job these days. I will definitely go back to these guys in the future and they are worth speaking to if you live out west.

WOW! Nice, that is good service there! I did come across Riverside Customs when I was initially quick searching... I'm just not sure what to do, cause I went into SSV to have a look and suss them out, the guy gave me a good deal for an Alpine package (of Type S: 5 Channel Amp, Sub, Components & Coaxials and IVA-W520EBT) for $1700, a saving of $1100 and so I put down a $100 deposit to secure the equipment. I wonder if that's too good to be true, but I'm going to ask to upgrade to the Type R at an additional amount. :glare:

Hey everyone, Tried finding a more recent thread with no luck...

Basically my old R34 got stolen right out the front of my house in mid September this year (no alarm in it like a dumbarse because i thought i lived in a quiet/nice area).

I'll be picking up my new 34 sometime next week and really want to get an alarm system fitted fairly soon

Some points to note:

  • Located in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne (South Morang)
  • Not sure what the "normal" price range is for something like this, but would be willing to go around the $450 mark (Edit: Am flexible on price as i'd rather spend extra for a good alarm install than a better sound system)
  • Alarm system will have to adhere to the Australian/NZ standard so the insurance company is happy.

Would like some advice on shops to go to or even feedback if the ones mentioned above were good or not?

Any help would be awesome!

    • 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?  😛
