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!

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!

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
