what i have done is put layers of aluminum foil down and taped it up with masking tape, you will notice that it is quite thick in the grooves, this is so when you roll it the roller dosent go through the foil

Test fitment of the first glass mat layer, this will give you the basic shape.

i've always thought of putting a small encloser around the towers there.

to fit a shallow 12 and amp hidding in the wall, just to keep the space. or even just a dual 12inch behind the seats for easy removle, as its not a daily driver not really fussed

im liking the look of your setup so far, but i got one of those kenwood dvd's and the system box of what even is in that pocket you filled, but can wait to see the final outcome :D looks good

Looks the goods mates. Only thing is on the left hand side behind the panel in the boot is the computer for the Atessa system and on the right hand side is the oil bottle for the Atessa system. In saying that it would probably be a good idea making it easy to remove so you can access to the Atessa computer and oil bottle.

Yeah, i thought of that, they will be completely removable. when i had the bluey, the system was awesome, but it was totaly impractical, no boot space. hehe as you can see

Quick update guys.

ok a framework has to be made so as to hold everything in place.

when you have finished the framework the fibreglassing can begin.

what i didnt take a photo of is me streching the "T-Shirt" matrial over the framework and hot gluing/ stapling to get the shape i want.

then you just get resin and paint over the matrial, giving you a good hard but brittle shape to start putting your mat on.

the box itself is going to be a sealed box so now im fining all the holes and pluging them up.

next step is i will be glassing over the amp to make it so it is sunk into the box. ill take a few photos of that process..

ok framework for sub and amp mount.

OK, so I don't want to start a new thread, but what are thew biggest sized speakers you can fit into the standard spots in the doors, without modifying the door skins?

I don't want to go the the effort of the boot install, but I'm putting in my HU and Jaycar Response 4x50WRMS amp (was thinking of under the drivers seat for mounting), and my factory speakers have gone to heaven due to my love of the new Girl Talk album......talk about bass!

I remember threads on the speakers, but I can't find them....at all!

Cheers, Greg.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
