nice thread. im planning on building my sub box soon. i want to leave my boot free for future items. so as i dont want rear seats im going to build the box to fit in there. will end up a bit heavy but having two 12's in the back sounds amazing. ill post pics of it once i finish. the problem i have atm is where to place the amps.

your right Nav2k. I guy has a 32 in clarion in a mitsubishi challenger up here in rockhampton. the box take up most of the cargo area. The clarion ute had two in the back of it, but form memory i think they have been taken out and replaced by 6 12 inch subs. The guy up here just fried the 32 inch as well, so i dont want his postage bill when he has to send it back :D

Hippy, I'll measure the box tonight but they will be only basic dimensions. It is quite easy to make a template with cardboard and a good way to start is to pull out the bottom carpet which is perfect to use as a stencil for the bottom of the box. As for holding the box in place, there is nothing holding it. I made it a very tight squeeze (I can't even get it out!) but with a thin metal cable connected to the metal on the side in case it moves.

was that built straight onto the body of the car with the resin or did you put some plastic/material behind it so it can be removed?

Certainly not permanent! No way I'd damage someones car like that dude. We first mask up the entire boot area before we put the resin and Kevlar it. That way you can pop the entire enclosure out if you need to do something that requires the entire boot. :D

Carbon Kevlar-- expensive!! but good stuff :)

did you use kevlar over carbon to save the amount of layers, hence increase volume? just curious cause stuff like this interests me, wish i thought of it before i started my boot install ;)

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
