If it's a small puncture you can use Tyre-Weld (or a similar inflator-sealer), and you can drop in a bottle of puncture guard stuff but that's kinda messy.

Hmm, yeah I'd rather have my spare in the boot. Means I have less boot space with my subbie over it (and means I have to unscrew mounting brackets and amp wires to get to it, but at least I have that option).

hey guys

just an update, not much work has gone on since i last posted. been strung up with work.

just finished cutting and shaping the false floor, still need surrounds that go where the boot arms close through and vinyl up the whole lot but these pics should give u some idea of what i got so far.

its a practical 3 piece floor design so i can still access my spare tyre, and have my amp hidden as well as a 3rd spare compartment which i will prob use as a stash space for jumper leads or something.

Your installs coming along nicely cheez! I was thinking of doing something similar in my R34. At the moment I've just got a off-the-shelf box with a 15". Serves its purpose for now, but I want to go to a pair of 12s just for the tighter response of the 12" driver.

Just a thought at the moment (I'm yet to measure up and determine feasiblity): I was thinking of using a MDF wall in the same section as what you have, maybe a little further back...but then mount a prefab fibreglass enclosure to it. Something similar to the 12" Dual Fibreglass Enclosure from this ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Karatan-Enclosures That way it creates a nice clean look that using a wall set up gives, and also gives a custom install look with the fibreglass.

Any thoughts on that? Just something I thought of when I saw those prefab enclosures on ebay. It's not completely DIY, but it saves a lot of mucking around with fibreglass, specially when I haven't had ANY experience with fibreglassing yet.

As for the floor I was looking at going a multiple piece floor to be able to access the compartments and spare tyre. As for the amplifier I was thinking of mounting it in a fixed section of the floor under some plexi.

this leaves absolutely no room for anything in the boot, but its a cool setup....

the sub enclosure is also completely moulded into the spare wheel well

but due to lack of boot space and lack of spare wheel, i have removed this enclosure and is sitting in my garage. so if anyone wants the enclosure, PM me and we can discuss pick up and price etc

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
