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 !

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
