I did the same moulded sub enclosure, sounded great, but I had to pour like 4L of sound deadening into it, add dacron as well as make a small bracket and wrap the underside in anti-slip matts.

It did not move at all :)

mount the amp under the rear shelf, on a wooden baffle, either on show or behind the wood so you can't see it

mount the sub in a custom box on the passenger side , where the jack is. mold a box to fit the space, move the jack to the middle of the spare tyre.

all can be hidden and spare comes out without any other mods. nice tight bass, .

eblow box, works but takes up too much space and sounds generic

. you can fit the sub behind the factory panel if you do a custom box. and add another on the drivers side if you desire later. or mount the amp behind the rear panel on the drivers side , totally hidden !!! no metal cutting /mods to mount it

hide or show off amp got it

as for sub box do u mean add some on to the passanger side peace( like half a box ?) for the sub or make the hole bigger to match the sub and mount it to the car ?

if you look behind the trim panel, where the jack is at, the space is just right to fit a 12" sub in a fiberglass box. you can use the little tabs on the metal to mount it. and if desired remove it for track days.

it can fit completely behind the factory panel and a custom grill made to hide it. or show it off your choice. I had mine there but now use a bandpass box which uses that area and some of the space outside the panel, ported thru the rear deck holes. the space is deep enough for most subs and if they work in a sealed box your all good. which the rockfords do

not sure if I still have any old photos , but can show you a photo of the size hole when removed.

anypics would help mate

You could probably replace the thin floorboard into a much thicker one, then use bolted down heavy duty straps to hold your sub+enclosure+amp in place, it will never move. And you can still access your spare wheel in case of an emergency (pssst, or carry one or more of those fix-a-flat cans) That is what I would do anyway.

it will move, when you drive spirited or get hit it turns into a missle.

example

on a defensive driving track day in my work car, a 1.5 litre half empty water bottle in my camry boot , tore the folding rear seats down while latched while on the ABS brake thru the cones test. now imagine a box, amp, speaker, hunk of wood, ripping the rear plate open on the r34 and landing on your lap or the side of the car open like a can opener.

I'll dig up some photos today.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
