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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
