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??

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
