Hi,

on the weekend im installing my car audio stuff into my new R33. Now this is the first skyline ive owned and the boot isnt very big. i have a rear strut brace in the back to. My question is, what is behind the back boot panel? Is it hollow behing there? If i remove the panel will i be able to make the box sit further back so i dont take up so much boot space or is there something behind there? and i jus plan on working around my strut brace.

thanks

just pull the carpet foward and see 4 ya self..

there is battery on left / hicas unit / some fuses and yeh

only thing you could use the space for is mounting / hiding an amplifier to save space

haha umm guess not will c tho...

not a chance... unless you remove everything and somehow relocate it.....

whatever you guys have done with that space upload some pics so i can get some ideas to what to do with my amps...

If you are in sydney, then i suggest you go to marty.. Whos marty.. well the guy who posted above me lol (FHRX) hhehe..

Anyways if got two 10 inch subs, then you might have some trouble mounting them above the fuel pump..

You will be able to squeeze your amp in there tho!!

Or you can always take your space saver out and you gotyour self more room..

I bought a Jaycar 4ch 100wrms amp to replace my bigger amp, because it fits perfectly in there!

Running one 12" sub in a box on the right-hand side of the boot. Well... the entire right-hand side of the boot really! =-/

Hi guys i have made 2 separate boxes measured up perfect to fit one on the left and one on the right for the 2 12" Subs also got some wood too make it my front wall and the Amp which is pretty big too (Rockford P4004) is drilled to it looks pretty good too, really simple doesn't leave room for anything else thou ;) i may have a photo if you don't know what i am talking about.

John

^ he meant that he puts different types of 10inch woofers in there..

Not two of them in that spot..

if you get what i mean??

yeh lol a was a bit tired then.. big night... haha tks for clearing it up...

im gonna mount my amps in there... well 1... my alpine amp will have to be shown

you spend enough on some stereo stuff you want some of it to be shown...

:-P

I got some info from the thread mentioned above and put my amp over the fuel tank and 12" Sub in the right rear corner, fibreglassed up a seald box for it. Didn't come up too bad and haven't lost much space.

hey man whered you get this custom sub box???

is this a good position to recieve bass in the front cabin..?

are you using 1 of these?

what would happen if you used 2 of these boxes 1 either side... would their be any cancellation or what?

i need these sub boxes!

how does that 1 type s 12 sound?

i am contemplating 1 type r 12 or maybe 2

I don't have any pics, but i have a two amps mounted in that space. I have my 12" Sub in a separate box in the boot... lol i stapled Velcro onto the bottom of the box and it just sticks to the carpet in the boot (which is glues + stapled to the board thing that covers the space-saver) and stops it sliding around.

got 1 x pioneer 12inch + 1 x pioneer 800w amp... threw the space saver away amp gets mounted on some wood and cut to a circular shape (so it sits perfectly at the bottom of the spare wheel well) and thrown in there then the carpet crap that covers that goes on top then sub in middle :laugh:

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
