depends on what kind of sound ur after and what kind of music u listen to as well champ but i would recommend if ur goin for 1 or 2 subs dont go smaller than a single 12 inch sub as u will find u are left wanting in the sound and bass department if u go for 10 inch subs...... either way u go with the 12 inch subs 1 is enough if it is put into the right enclosure u can get amazing sound out of it.... and two is insane if done corectly hope i have helped in some way

yeah i'd go 2 x 10inch although 1 x 10inch would give that sound ur after but as punisher said you will be left wanting more later on.. it will also depend on the output Wattage on the sub and having an amp to handle the power required.. go too low on either and it just wont be sufficient

when i got my car it had 2x12" pioneers, changed them for a single kicker 12" and it sounded great, untill it died, there warranty is not worth shit either they kept sending it back saying they couldnt find a problem, bought another one since i had a kicker box and that one died as well, now have a single jl 12" and it sounds awesome.

See If I go 12 inch, I can't fit it in the boot unless I remove the floor, and I prefer not to.

I'm pretty sure I can run two 10s in the back without removing the floor?

I have a Rockford P 300-1 monoblock, so that will pump 300RMS into my sub. I'm thinking two P3 10inch subs, or 2x12inch P2 Subs but that will require a custom install.

I'm into RnB, but I don't crank the stereo, just like having nice clear sound :wub:

dont know if a 34 boot is smaller than a 33 but i have a single 12" box sitting in my boot no problem.

Don't be fooled into thinking that more is better. You can get great sound out of a single sub. Even a good quality 10" will sound excellent. What I would recommend doing is getting a small sealed box (sealed enclosures can be much smaller than ported, and they sound punchier) and fit a 12" sub in it. There's a sealed enclosure made by Qmax that you can get from JB. It's a good size - small enough to fit into my extremely shallow R32 boot. Then buy a nice driver for it, tune the amp correctly, and you're away.

The car audio shop down the road from me has an enclosure sitting around that replaces part of a skylines boot. The guy said it wont take up any extra room. Not sure which model it will fit into but PM me for the places name as im not sure if i will be breaking the rules saying a stores name on here. Pretty sure they said they got it from the gold coast so prob wont see them around very much.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
