the neons sux shit loads of power from the battery!

The sub i got is a 12" Orion MTX close enclosure sub, and the box was custom made at a car audio place. Works really well and shakes the front windscreen but to much of the boot 2!

neons are old school man.. buy CCFL's.. less power drain..

I reckon you can build some pretty awesome stuff if you muck around a bit and have a bit of creativity. Once you have some nice carpet, you can make some templates and go to town. Bit of perspex, some MDF and a jigsaw (or dremel), maybe get some polished metal designs cut to the shape you want, few CCFL's..

Pproblem is the skyline boot is pretty squishy, thats why most comp cars are hondas and crap with big boots. Might stuff around with that in my next car, with the R33, its a bit like meh.. its never going to look awesome.

u can get pretty good results with DIY if you put the time in.. see my box :D it took a few hours, but i saved a fair bit of money and I think it sounds pretty good. You learn a bit I guess, and once you start you kind of think.. hmm, i could do this and this and this next time.

Has anyone done a full custom box to fit in the side parts of the boot, or maybe the spare wheel bay..

It'd be good to save a lot of room and use either of those two spaces. I not build a sub box before, but I imagine custom making something to fit these spaces would be a fairly tedious job..

Here's mine.

I was going to make a fibreglass box in the rear wing but ultimately decided on the easier route. I need to make some sort of cover where the fuses are. The sub's not in a box so probably doesn't perform at it's best (still sounds good enough for me).

Of course i'm bolloxed if I ever want to fit a strut brace!

That looks heaps nice dude.. but unfortunately i have already used up all that space:

Amp to go under the a/v box that the cut out shows (mainly for air flow and access purposes - may pretty it up later with tinted viewing window and neon :) I have measured up the area and will fit audison srx3 perfectly.. :)

Will have to put the sub(s) somewhere else obviouslly :P

Ive seen a r33 like that install but with 2 flush mounted amps and sub in same location, looks preety good.

I had a big problem with mine when i had to change a flqt tyre, it involved pulling half of my system out to get to the spare wheel!!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
