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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
