Hey,

I was thinking of buying this subwoofer box off ebay that is moulded to fit the exact boot of an R34, but the ad says it is for a coupe, I have a sedan. Will this fit into my boot aswell?

This is the listing for the item:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=190394475901

I REALLY need something that I can put my sub into that will mount it properly for track use, and this seems to be the most practical way of doing so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just got 2 12icnh split subs in my boot and now i got no room but they look amazing to c. Ill post a pic on them soon 2 show u but its not completed yet. At volume 8 alone makes such a amazing sound it gives people headaches that are not used to it.

Just a heads up, that moulded box looks pretty small, and depending on what sub your running, might be way below what is recommended for the volume of a sealed enclosure.

If your at all handy with timber, could build yourself a nice ply/mdf box, and mount it in boot with brackets into the floor, just need to be careful if drilling into the fuel tank.

Always a good idea to put a little extra weight in the boot of a rear wheel drive Skyline.

:ninja:

Mind you..

If I get a flat , I've got to disconnect 6 channels of speaker wiring, disconnect all power and earth supplies to 2 amps, unplug six rca inputs, pull out the main amp and base it's screwed to, remove both my sub boxes, pull out the second amp that does the fronts, and leave all this on the road. Just to get to my spare.

Then with a 255 in the boot, it'll all have to go in the back seat until the space saver spare goes back in.

Imagine if it is raining.

Wouldn't have it any other way !

Ericjayrol haha, that sounds awesome Espada, Cant wait to see some pics

Only problem was that due to the size of the pair and getting boxes for them both I had to make them face towards the car. With the 2 amps side by side with them the only thing that looks kinda shit is my original setup molding with a sheet of wood as a backing plate with the offcuts for the subs. With the boxes it sounds x10 louder but im beginning to be having problems now. I would only assume that it is based upon the wiring but i have 4 gauge wiring running through the car a.t.m and now my rear speaker are not working which is annoying. Yet when im turning a corner they seem to be working but on the straight drive they fail and send more volume to the front. I'm assuming that I will have 2 check the wiring again and c what i f**ked up unless anyone else knows a faster alternative to this fault?

Check you haven't crossed polarity on one of your speakers ( crossing - and +)

This can cause amps to do very weird things.

My mechanics crossed my subs when they re-installed them. My wiring is all clear sheathing with a microscopic print on one.

Took me ages to find the problem. Almost put my fist through my head unit !

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
