So I'm planning on putting a pair of amps, one each side of the luggage area from the rear strut back (more like from where the cargo net hooks on the floor are). Well I'm trying to decide if I make the enclosed amp racks go all the way to the rear pillar or stop short where the tie downs below the pillar are, does anyone use them? What's your thoughts?

I put one amp under driver seat, and the other bolted to the back of the sub box in the boot, sub box can be unstrapped and lifted out so no loss of functionality, worked out sweet. Incase u think of it don't bother checking for space under the back seat u can't fit anything under there

ive got electric seats with a 2 channel under each front seat, so definitely room there but very close to seat motors. a lot more if not electric.

i had standard seats, ripped em out and converted to electric, so seen the difference.

for the cargo area, made a doughnut out of 16mm wood with about 30cm diameter and mounted a 2 channel to that which sits in my space saver wheel.

so all is hidden pretty much.

hopefully your amps dimensions aren't too big and the same spots are an option.

Here's a link to the build thread - http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry4545242

I've since made a few adjustments, but they relatively the same.

Mine is an RS so no ATTESSA but it's only one bolt to remove to access the spot where one would be.

You don't really sacrifice any space this way either, and I can still carry a spare :thumbsup:

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
