Hey people, I know this is unrelated to skylines but what the hell, I'm not a member on a silvia forum...

The problem is I'm about to retire the venerable blown calais, and first pick for me is a spec R-GT s15, but the thing is I need to be able to carry my bass amp in the car. Now, what I'm wondering is if someone could please do me a big, big favour and measure the boot of a friends / their S15 just for the depth and height... If anyone could that would be greatly appreciated (I'd do it myself but there's not many advertised for sale at dealers and I work during the hours they'r open so I can't even get to the things!!)

Cheers!!!

sorry mate, my S15 is provisionally sold and not at my home at the moment, so the best I could do was measure the sub box that was custom made for my car by Car Toys.

It is made to fit right up out of the way above the fuel tank shelf in the boot.

The diagram attached (crudely drawn) shows the size. The big flat face with the sub goes against the back seat (which angles, obviously).

As for boot space the car is quite generous, but you won't fit too much else in if you have a decent size box, which is why I had this custom box made up. Let me know if you're keen to buy it, as I'll let it go for the right price :thumbsup:

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
