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!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
