Travis32 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 looks cool, but super heavy actually turns out to be lighter if not on par lol no spare plus runnin a smaller battery (decar) etc so ive kinda made it to be the same is all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/305721-my-boot-in-my-32-gtr/#findComment-5057093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon 34 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 geezus that is heavy ,,,there goes your performance,fuel economy,rear shocks, 4 trees and havent seen so much white bathroom silicone in ages not worth loosing a spare tire over, some extra planning you could have kept it. so is that speaker box sealed or free air behind by the seat? looks like you gutted a kicker factory speaker box for the port/plug in ?? why is the fuel surge tank mounted above the spare tire well, instead of sunk into it for safety, and looks that springs a leak your going to have a spare tire worth of fuel sitting under it, great place when the amps come on, BANG goes the car not really needed in a car with so much wood,stereo gear in it, not like it will be a drift or drag car sorry to bag ya but your install principles are ok but execution is a little skewwiff Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/305721-my-boot-in-my-32-gtr/#findComment-5057532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem saving money by DYI. just wondered if you understood your boot is heavy for a high performance sports car ?

AshesR33 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I can't understand why people are giving this guy sh*t for posting up pics of what is obviously a working progress. He has done what he thinks will look good and sound good, why does he have to do it everyone else's way? As for the weight yeah it probably weighs a bit but he has taken out the spare so it would be about the same so the wear and tear on brakes, suspension etc isn't going to be much worse. To the OP I think it will look pretty good once you have completed it and hopefully you will be happy with it.
