Hey guys,

my brother is putting me to work soon on his 32's boot. First i'm going to dynamat the whole inside of the boot but then he wants a audio setup through the back he does not mind if there is no access to the spare wheel ( as he hasn't even got one ). So i just need a bit of insperation if u could post below a Photo of your setup and maybe give me just one paragraph of what u have done and what equipment is included. Just a quick run down of the car.

Its a R32 M-spec, has nothing in the boot at the moment so its empty as can be, has got leak in the lights but will be fixing the seal when i start on the boot. battery is still at the front of car.

Also we dont mind if there is no extra space in the back. as we barely ever use the boot. And we don't even use it for storage its just there for show

anyway guys hope to hear back from you soon and see lots of nice setups

The center bottom panel lifts out and still has the factory spare wheel and jack.

How much did that setup set you back? ( cash wise ) and how long did it take to install

So far $2.5k, all DIY. I only get to work on it after hours so like 2-3 hours a night on the nights I do get off, been slowly chipping away at it for about 2 months and almost finished.

looks difficult as. thats the thing im worried most about. but i definatly like it and im sure my bro will to.

So your actual boot works as sort of a sub box. thats why the backends of the subs are facing in ?

Not particularily difficult. Just time consuming to make sure it all works the way I want and prevent rattles. Google "inverted mount subs", the back of the subs is facing out purely for aesthetics, as the magnets on eclipse subs are massive (the subs are 10"s) so I preffered to invert mount them as they look better. There's a box built into the front of them above the fuel pump/below the parcel shelf that attaches to the first front panel, and the subs then seal into that. I'll upload some more pics tonight and you'll see what I mean.

My setup is pretty simple but does the job and its pretty neat..

I bought the moulded sub boxes off ebay for $80 each

I can still use the boot, just need to order in some covers for the subs, they are the Alpine Type R's 12"

:)

In regards to rattles, I glued some rubber to the back of the number plate and thats pretty much done it for me..

You guys should see how awesome my boot is. current set up is awesome. it's light weight and flexible. It's currently empty. Unless it's full of shopping, or full of bags when I go away for a weekend. It's an expert set up. I love it. I could even throw a couple of chopped up dead bodies in the boot :D Better than 7 subs i reckon :blink:

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
