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:

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
