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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
