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

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!

      Mid week Palm Beach Cruise

      By Keeper · Posted

      This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
