Hey,

I noticed a decent amount of people here say they have an amp in the boot right next to the battery. I just looked at mine then since i have an amp and i realised that theres wires next to the battery and the metal bit isn't exact straight either, it slopes down. So i'm assuming those that put the amp in their boot next to the battery added something to go over the top of the wires for the amp to sit on.

Could anyone tell me how they put their amp next to the battery and provide pictures if possible?

Thanks.

No pictures here... but I just got some aluminium angle from Bunnings and made up a bracket which used the screws from the fuel-pump cover.

Currently got an amp, PC power supply and USB soundcard in there... soon to put another amp in as well ;)

i mounted my amp so that when you open the boot.. its staring you right in the face. i got a piece of mdf and screwed it onto the 'back wall' just under the strut brace, then stuck the carpet bit on and the amp over that. looks ok i guess.. haven't hidden the wires perfectly but you could if you wanted to.

very nice job mintr33! very professionally done! i like it!

But hey Tyson1990 if you want something real simple just get a thick piece of mdf board and cut to size. you can screw 1 side into the battery tray and the other side into the metal which will bring it up so its not on a lean. this will also hide the existing wires and give you some space to run your own as well.

the picture included is not of an amp install, originally i had an amp here but now they are all on show so i've used this space for fuses and stuff. but gives you an idea of the board used which will do if it wont be seen. mintr33's is awesome, but looks like his is fabricated specially to suit with brackets to size and everything, a lot more work involved but looks the part, so really depends on what lengths you want to go to.

hope this helps.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
