looks like a 6cyl with SS spraypainted on it. worth in the hundreds somewhere..

most brands are compatiable... JVC, alpine, pioneer, eclipse however still need a loom for it. Cheapest is $120 on ebay + $10 delivery (as at 01/10/11) my JVC-KDR 626 is compatible and for $170 with 3 x rca and 2 x aux in + IR port ready its a bargin.

the sound of that engine... gives me goosebumps and i go all giddy... if i was a chick i would of got wet.. very nice indeed... you made me admire a bogan looking mobile... that aint bogan.. thats muscle!!!

you dont need a "touch up" tune for air mapping. The PCM is pretty smart to pick up that its breathing better. Im impressed that you have not been bitten by the HP bug.. im already looking at a cam and valve upgrade.. just trying to get the best combo for me as i do lots of highway driving...

For all you 2j lovers out there... 2JZ, No ****? - YouTube Muscle vs rice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWsT192dtac&feature=related

yeah thats about it, or powerloss or it struggles when you open the throttle up. get a 350L pump.. prob solved

yep.. im with the v8 fans... want performance.. get a v8.. When i bought my VE SS MY10 SS ute it was only 4k difference for the SV6 and the SS... was an easy choice.. espec when i got in it to drive the 8... the 6 is just gutless.. and below the VE's i wouldnt touch anything that wasnt an 8...

i like this guy... he actually makes sense... also PSI on a TURBO BLOCK is not that impressive.. its built to take it... then they conservativley drop it down a lot. My RB25DET i was running 25 psi high boost, 20 low boost on stock internals for 50,000 no dramas My SR20DET i was running 30 psi...

ahh i dont know if i got pics of it, but i did use sound deadening on the inside of the box, after reviewing the sound i like it however i am going to make a port to balance the bass up (i usually go 2x10 subs). I run my sub (and amp) at 70hz range, its reponsive enough, but yeah i would...

Without going off topic and turning this into a troll fest post..... Doing engine swaps especially when displacement is dramatically changed is a pain in the ass and always has gremlins that need to be fixed. On top of that someone who is not a mechanic (and i love how so many tools on forums...

hmm makes more sense now. Still not worth it though

Fiberglass is itchy to work with, but if you have worked with it before it is quite easy to do. Only downfalls is that it can be a bit shonky on durability, which is why i went with 18mm mdf instead of fibreglass.. i also did mine to fit snugly at the back so that i can fit in prams still in the...

JBL's are pretty crappy quality. For $150-$200 i would be looking at cadence speakers or entry level alpine ones. And i agree with amplification, however if you get JBl's you wont be able to push em anyway. Not sure with VE's but if you have to go hi-gain then you will want at least a high/low...

I have owned a 2j Supra and they are nice, but the norm is not 1000hp on stock internals. Saying that a 2j has more potential and more power is a bit short sighted. You are not comparing a turbo engine with a turbo engine. Put a turbo on a stock LS1 and its already got more power then the 2j...

Well to install it is pretty easy, all you need to do is splice into a wire or 2 and bobs your uncle. However if you are not confident with wires, i suggest you get it down by an auto electrican. I can also do this for anyone within brissie for a fee. Tools required: Phillips head...

LED's are in.. El-glow dial for $95 delivered.... best money ever... looks sex (pics up top)

gah.... You are changing a lot of things there, usually engine swaps are easier if you keep to the same displacement. Example an RB20 swap into an S13 (sr20) is a piece of piss. What you are doing is going to make it very difficult and you will need to get a lot of stuff custom fabricated (this...

as what the title says... it was AN6... found out anyway standard is AN6 on the engine..

why dont you put the cable behind the din and under the carpet so it doesnt look shonky :)

Well a lot of people like to ninja power for LED's from the cig lighter, this is ok and all but not the best way. This also means that you lose the ability to use your cig lighter for good things like recharging GPS's cause you get lost in a carpark. Anyway. Tools needed: Wire cutters...

very good question :) from bunnings i bought a cupboard vent and installed it on the right side of the box.. its 200x100 and for 6 bucks its worth every penny how well will that perspex look after you have had a pram and shopping in the boot? Its a scratch resistant one, so far after having...

Here is my build so far (need to do some finishing touches to it. JVC KD-r626 Head deck Kicker Z Series 6x9's Kickerr IX252 2 channel amp JL VR Comp 6.5 Splits Cadence Q2000 2 channel amp Eclipse SW6210 12" Sub (fkn hot) Cadence Z1000 Mono block amp 4/8 gauge cabling + dis block for amps

So i got the neons on order for that side but i want to install a few LCD screens for some visual fun, kinda like winamp / media player animations. (in the boot that is) What would be the steps for this.. can i make a standalone thing for this.. or does it have to be with the headdeck ( entry...

i run mine on the passenger side, less annoying then drivers. and means engine noise is at a minimum..

Didnt really want carpet, over it, so i wanted to try the black leather look. If it ends up being scrappy after a while i might just bit the bullet and get semi-leather. at least then i know exactly how much i need (use old stuff as templates). Im going to do red pvc on the sides and mount the...

+1 for not mixing subs... and seems you are going insane on the bass.. do you really need that many? Quality over Quantity. Getting 1 x sub with 1 x monoblock amp of high quality will dominate over cheap gear in the masses. Soundstream comp series, Eclipse or Kicker make some great high end...

i did PVC perspex in mine too, i used 7mm so stuff could go on it (i had 2 boxes of 400x400mm tiles on it with no dramas). However i did not liquid nails it. I pre drilled holes and drilled it into the mdf board underneath it.. This also means that i can get to the amps whenever i need.

thanks and yeah my finger nails get all mangy looking so i chuck a bit on to cover it up. Prob is doing renos and working on the car wrecks it.

gday all. Holts tyre weld.. its a 400g aresol that injects gooey stuff into your tyres and is good for 100km. enough to get you out of trouble. HOLTS TYRE WELD REPAIR TYRE SEAL PUNCTURE CAR 400ML X2 | eBay (ebay "tyre weld") And yeah i was aiming for more wider bits and pieces in the boot...

600w headunit?.............. 600w?........

im 6.0 and im glad i gave up the imports, without a sunroof i had bugger all room.. with one was murder. You will get over it very very quickly how you have to sit to fit into it. The only option is to change the seats and make custom rails that are lower.. and then your view is screwed.. ahhhh...

OA seems to be the new product Wow sight and sound are selling. I had a look at them and they seem ok, id prob go Kicker over them for the same price range (not the KX series). I always love Soundstream for my fronts, a pair of 6.5's of the comp series and you will never go back. just my 2c.

....it will have a turbo on it..

Hi guys, Well i am mid way through my sound system install, and i thought i would put up some pics and details of the install. I have done quite a few installs now on my cars, most of the time i spent upwards of $10,000 on gear and days on the builds. Most of the time i would not care about...

RE-Re trimmed the back, didnt like the way it turned out. I removed the tire from the boot and made a custom box for the amps. Black perspex over the top and then doing a side mounted sub (driverrr side tail light). Got my PCM back finially, and the MAFFLESS tune + OTR CAI gives it more torque...

redid the bulbs over the last few days to blue and white LED's - will get pics up when i have put it all back together. ALso put in a new head deck, retrimmed the boot for custom sub install, installled my old mono block and sub. Tomorrow hopefully i get my PCM back and will finish up the boot.

Hey all I want to install an oil catch can but want to use AN-6 6AN braided hose with fittings of course. What kind of adapter do i need to fit the inlet and outlet with an6 fittings? is it an AN to AN AN to NPT? or AN to Metric thanks in advance.

It is still curing, within a few weeks it will be more glossy. Ill get some pics up when its cured
