hey all

As above where have you guys mounted your amps?

I was thinking of putting a sheet of MDF across where the metal plate used to be in the boot and mounting them there.

Just wanna know if there are any other better places

Hey i just put two amps in my R33 behind the back seat in that empty space next to the battery. It all fits in neat and when i put the trim back on you will not even know they are in there. I will post some pics later. Only prob i am having at moment is with interference from the alternator. I think this it because of my wire locations with speaker and battery wires too close together and some crossing.

sorry to bump up an old thread,

So the best place to put amp is on a piece of MDF board where the metal board used to be?

Does the board rattle or does the seat hold it in firm?

Chris Rogers do you have any pics of an amp installation on a r32 as to how you mounted it.

Cheers

Rekin, with the professional job your doing on that parcel shelf, you shouldnt need to ask for any advice with mounting an amp!!! It sounds like a work of art!

haha i couldnt have done the shelf without seeing some of the other shelves made by SAU people.

This amp mounting is a whole new story and got no idea on it :happy:

take the plastic cover out and copy it onto a bit of 12mm MDF. get the carpet to suit your car and you are done. I'll see if I can grab the car I did a few weeks back.

Are you talking about the plastic grey thing on the wall inside the boot?

Did you remove the metal panel between the rear seats and boot?

I dont think there will be a way to pass the amp wiring with that metal panel there...

Pics would be great!

yep the one that sits on the seat back. copy it. leave the steel in place. there are two access holes on the sides around the strut towers that you can send the cabling through.

trying to chase the car I did down so I cna get a snap of it.

thanks for that,

Just purchased some aerpro 4ch 8ga 600w amp wiring on an impulse. Repco had a sale! Should be enough to power 4 speakers.

since i didnt have the metal plate in the car when i bought it

i cut out a 750mm x 270mm mdf board and screwed it into the old holes.

it does leave a gap underneath it to pass cables through but my installer drilled holes through the board.

ill try and get sum pics

grab a 100a circuit breaker as well and a fused distro block ( I haev them if you need them) as well. that way it is protected.

black carpet looks dodgy i noe but i was too lazy to hunt down better carpet

looks a bit messy but it does look nice n clean wen u have another amp mounted

thats close to what I mean. copy the panel and use charcoal grey carpet and you will have it.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
