Hey all, i recently updated my 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 coupe's boot, i made a mount to fit the R34 boot's sides (left and right). And for the amps, i just got a piece of wood, marked where the holes would sit for the amps, drilled it in, covered it with the black shit (as seen in the images) and screwed it into the back of the bottom section. I've also mounted LED lights along the top of the boot, and connected them to the OUTPUT of the sub's amp, so they beat to the music. It looks pretty sweet.

So yeah let me know what you think, or any other way i could improve the boot.

Any questions or such, let me know.

cheers guys.

Here is the install I attempted myself today in my R34. Sorry for the holy thread revival batman thing, beats starting a new thread though.

Did you take out the parcel shelf and make a custom box to fit the sub and place it there? I want a way to install my sub so it doesn't consume boot space lol.

Hey mate,

I made that bit of MDF flat panel to fit snug in between the strut towers. The passenger side is tight, but there is a gap on the right hand side. I'm sure it would affect sound somehow, as it isn't sealed per say, but I got it all turned on yesterday, and it sounded good. It was way more punchy in the box I had it in, but it sounds pretty good the way it is. So yeah, no box. Just a flat panel of MDF, carpeted, and foam sealed around the edges. Amp is mounted in the boot, right below the boot release mechanism on the very back panel of the car. The sub is just 1 kicker 10" solobaric, and the amp is a fusion job.

Cheers,

Shazza

That sub will blow without a sealed box !! Mark my words

they like tiny boxes that will fit under the deck with ease !! So you can do it right ??

Hit me up if you want one designed for free

Hahaha. You were spot on man. I blew all 3 fuses in my amp the other day. I have a heap of leftover MDF, so I think I might actually enclose it now!

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
