Hi All, we are temporarily back in Sydney, managed to get the front on and measured the volume. It's about 32 litres. Not sure how long we're around for until we go back out so i'll just keep working on it until we go. Also front is not as big as I originally thought. 12 inch fit's niceley but 15 inch would be a little big. Only way I thought of putting a 15 in would be to extend the mdf front out further into the boot with a spacer. Then again the idea of this is to save boot space, so 12 inch it is for me. Is starting to look really good. will post some pics up if I get a chance to before I go. I bought some black gelcoat for the reproduction boxes so will look even better.

Cheers

Ben

Pics are up, still need to sand and polish the original so the mold will be nice and smooth. but this gives a good idea of what to expect. the reproductions will have a black gelcoat shell and will figure out the carpeting.

yeh mate, looks insane, being fibreglass...would these be good to be sprayed? or to have material on? i love the sprayed metallic look, but over-all it looks wicked...

how much would you be asking?

Yes mate..looks awesome...PAT ON THE BACK SON...JOB WELL DONE....

But I guess everybody else would be enquiring about the price for this...i'm sure you'll post it soon...

Oh and yeah...was that a 12" sub installed?

Hi All, yes as Adrian has said it is a 12" in the pics. Thanks mate. Still working on a price, won't decide until I see how long the reproductions take to make and carpeting costs etc. The box could be sprayed but as stated it will have a black gelcoat which should improve the look and I will investigate carpeting it when I get back.This may be the last post from me for a while. Catch up with you all when I get back.

i have done exactly the same thing not long a go and it works well, as i wanted a sound system with a 12' sub and amps in the boot but not loose my spare tyre. ill post up some picture tonight and show you want it looks like.

I've seen this done a few times but looks very neat.

If you do sell them I'll be interested in a couple months time when I get around to getting a sub :D

Hi All, managed to get the mold finished this morning. Once again back for a very limited time in Sydney. Just waiting on the ok from SAU to sell these using the forum and a small donation from each box sold will be given back to SAU. As soon as they give me the go ahead I will give a price. Just to give you an idea the price will be well under that of the commercially available equivalent.

Cheers

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