I wasn't after anything flashy and wanted to keep some usable boot space so I fibreglassed up a box and mounted the amp next to the fuesbox and battery. Really need to retrim the rest of the boot though now as the subbox puts the rest of the trim to shame :happy:

This probably won't help you much as you have 2 subs and amps but you never know.

Im from Bendigo (in central Vic)

actually ordered my stuff through autobarn. tryed a couple of other local audio places and was disapointed with their service. so i took a list of my quotes in and said beat it. about 30 minutes of going through catalogues and a few diff quote options later my choice was made. The Pioneer dvd player and the DD 4 channel amp had arrived last time i went in. just awaitin the rest. haha so impatient.

moved my batt to the side walls, mounted the hicas ecu to the side of the sub box, moved fuse box to a better fixed point behind amp but next to hicas ecu and done. box made to suit, if u want 1 done i can help y out if u in melb. any questions just ask.

oh forgot to mention, 10" sub pretty much is the only one that will fit this way, 12 is a real squeeze and will require more work.

pm me if u have q's or want a hand

Is there any chance of mounting the subwoofer down into the spare tire hold and inverting the spare tire and using a small raiser to fit a lower profile 12 inch? IMO you cant beat using a sub box that is properly ported for the sub itself, but I do fancy the Idea of having the sub mounted on the floor side of the boot.

Here's what i did in mine, used the tyre well as an enclosure for the subs... its good this way coz u still keep your boot space...

The PDX digital amps are awesome...very compact and pump out some very good power and can be stacked to reduce space used (depending on your install). Had it shown at the F1 and cranked it a bit too much...blew the fuse, so now have no power to the cap and amps >_< gonna replace the fuse over the weekend.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
