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?

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??

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
