My New V35 Fibreglass Sub Box Install

Finally got around to properly installing everything this arvo and getting rid of my old sub box that took up half the boot. Please excuse the video sound - the sub does not really distort that much - the camera does not take great audio (and the front Soundstream splits are not quite as bright as they seem in the video either). The setup does sound good, and will sound better with some tuning and refining.

FYI I bought the sub-box and 8" JL Audio sub from a USA Ebay seller .... US$500 delivered to my door - a great price I think. Yes I am aware the Boss amp is a piece of junk, but I will get a decent amp later on - it will have to do for now.

Enjoy :banana:

10yrs old & 60,000 readers monthly, nope no-one goes there anymore ;)

There's still quite a few "old" faces on there so to speak but as one would expect, quite a few new faces with all the same questions.

Sometimes gets a bit repetative but what forum doesn't hey?

I'm just waiting on a few remaining bits to get here and I can start getting my gear into the V35, looking forward to it too as it's going to be a K.A. system :3some:

mark,

yep thats the point I was getting at. (happy to give you another side to the story as well.)

in regard to forums - this one is not too bad at repetition. bit of organisation fixes most things like that. a good admin team helps too.

(sorry for the minor hijack andrew.)

In the V35 coupe the jack and spare are in the centre of the car with a timber sheet covering it, which can still accessed with the sub box in (the timber panel does no go the whole width of the car - just the centre part). I folded the carpet under the sub box back to just under the edge of it so you can still lift up the timber sheet to reveal the spare and jack.

Awesomest!

Beats having the sub flying around in the back as you make a turn :D. I saw a similar box on ebay usa but the postage killed my interest.

Although i think i asked an aussie seller on eBay once and he can make a custom sub enclosure for v35 for a decent price if we can get a group buy going.

I'll double check and let you guys know.

Hey Andrew,

Nice job! It's giving me a yerning for a bit more bass in the V36 :( I have a nice Alpine sub out of the R34 in the cupboard, has me thinking now.

Well the thinking has been done :) Made a box and got rid of the BOSE amps and put in a 5 channel Amp. just need to replace all the other speakers now :P

Pic1 masked up. 2 glassed. 3 deadener fitted. 4 covered. 5 amp wired up. 6 finished.

Anyone seen any bass, mid, tweeter sets? All I can find are splits.

Depends on your budget & ears!!!

If you are wanting 3way sets there are Hybrid Audio (HAT), Focal, Dynaudio, Rainbow, DLS, Morel, Hertz & seas who all produce 3way sets.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
