Nice useable install there.

I had a orion XTR 12 inch sub and custom box which i swapped from my old car and which took up 1/2 of the boot. I had a flat once and had to pull the whole box and amps out to get to the space saver wheel. Ever since then the sub box has not gone back into the car.

Also driving with the space saver on the back suxs balls coz the hicas gets confused with the different rolling diameter of the rims

 Usually magnets mess up data storage but electrical wiring i believe is quite safe...

Im not speaking from experience but Im guessing if you put the magnets near relays and what not that maybe it could hold it open or closed?

The install looks sweet as though dude, a lot of effort there, how do the free to air subs sound/go compared to boxed woofers?

how do the free to air subs sound/go compared to boxed woofers?

the free air subs sound suprisingly good, in fact they sound much better without a box then when i had them boxed up to begin with. It was only luck that i got them, i didnt even know they were free air until somone told me, thats when i thought i could install them the way i did. With the design of the skyline boot, i highly recomend getting free air versions, as the sound fills the entire car, rather then just rattling the boot a lot.

is the enclosure space behind the wall large enough? i have those exact subs and they need at least 1cf of space so i just got em with proffesionally made boxes designed for the subs. Congrats on a good job though but you need some grills for em but so do i. Does anyone know where i can get some cheap grills for the VCCS subs??

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
