Looks like yellow from here.

I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to make it a win-win with my own stereo install. my head unit went straight in,the splits in the front and rear doors were easy enough,the rears went straight in,the fronts needed some tricky brackets to mount the cross overs,and custom baffles to mount the mids,but weren't THAT hard.

what's got me stuffed is how am I going to get the rest into the car without permanently losing boot space or the spare wheel? I'm constantly moving large items in the back of my car,so it must retain pretty much the full volume in the rear.

I need to get two smallish amps,a 6 stacker,and a boxed 12" subwoofer into it somewhere.

there's a bit of room behind the N/SR quarter trim which will take a decently sized amp if you are patient with bracketry. that takes care of one.

the sub I'll have to make removeable,and will likely place it in a similar fashion to the above design. that's two.

anyone have any ideas for the stacker and other amp? they won't fit under the seats. I've yet to investigate what's behind the O/SR quarter trim other than the ATTESSA reservoir. I'm hoping I can squeeze the stacker in that corner,or possibly the amp. I MIGHT be able to fit the stacker in hanging on the under-side of the spare wheel cover,but I'm not sure if that will be rigid enough for it to not skip.

any ideas guys? what have you put into your cars so far?

fergo, the stacker i want to use will fit under the drivers seat but it won't go under the passenger seat. if you are looking for other places have a look under the floor next to the space saver, you may be able to squeeze something in there. alternatively remove the spacesaver and buy a can of tyre goop.

EGA the sub boxes are small vol enclosures(well spotted) with subs that are suited for very small enclosures, they work well with volumes down to 15L (although i'm not sure what vol these are at this point). the aim was to lose nothing behind the strut towers to keep as much of that space as possible.

we would probably never have laid the seats down but we need the larger opening that the rear door offers.

i have open air subs in my car, so my sub box doesn't have a back on it. when my gallery is back up i'll show you my pics, but my box can be unplugged relatively easily and just slides out when i need the boot space.

that sub box is a very neat install... not much volume to it but looks awesome

The enclosure gives 18.3 litres for each subwoofer. Based on the Thiele / Small's of the 27V2's this will return a Q of about 0.69. That will offer tight bass with a deep natural roll off but will still boom just enough to deal with the large interior of the wagon. :cheers:

My idea for a sub is to put a single 10" or 12" in a longish box along the driver's side between the strut tower and the tailgate.

I'm hoping to figure out a way to hinge it so I can stil get to the ATESSA reservoir and the small compartment next to it, and loading of the sub will be against the strut tower - the box will be angle-cut to kind of match the shape of the strut tower and face the sub towards it. It might be better to face the sub rearwards and load it against the tailgate, but I'm going for a stealth system, and having the sub showing every time you open the boot kinda defeats the purpose...

Hopefully I won't lose too much boot space this way, and I'll still be able to fold the seats down and use the length available.

My only issue now is money - I've got the front splits and they are ready to go in, but I'm kinda waiting to at least buy the rears as well and before I start the install...

Thanks for the advice Wolverine,I'll check out the space under the driver's seat. hopefully it's a little bigger in there than under the passenger side,which was too short by all of 5mm...

I've thought about dumping the micro-spare,but with the numerous punctures i've been getting over the last few months,I doubt I could live without one.

I would love to build the sub into the boot floor using the spare's cavity,but it just isn't practical,and anything I could fit in on top of the wheel is too small for a ZR12 woofer. it'll have to go into a removeable box.

what sized amps are you guys running,and where/how did you get them into the car?

IF?????? you want to get rid of the spare, why not mount it outside a'la 4WD

Think of the messarges you could put on the wheelcover. I'm pretty computer illiterate but I know some of you guys are good at artistic endevours.

Lets see some lateral thinking.

just a thort y not mount the amps and stacker in the sub box if you need to remove it just unplug and take out may need some fancy switching to set up speakers to run without the amp but im sure it could be worked out

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
