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.

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 !

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
