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:

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
