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 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
