hey,

Just new to this forum and skylines but id thought i share this with you all.

post-89062-0-05956800-1339387316_thumb.jpg

this was how my boot was with dual 12' solobarics but i quickly got over having no room, so i decided to make a layout from scratch,

so i stripped the whole boot down to nothing, then cut and screwed down just a 16mm mdf sheet

then i just built the amp into the box so it hides all them dirty wires and just a standard box into the other side and just screwed them to the floor, and theres a couple bits of 3mm play on top just to neaten it up and hide some gaps, then i put the back in last so i can still access the battery and its just held in with a couple of screws

thanks guys, yeah still get to everything back wall has just a couple screws holding it in place and the floor can just pull up and i also moved the jack beside battery.

Very cool. I think ill attempt this as soon as i get some time off work.

I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago and one thing that I found is that it's better to have the bottom foundation board in two pieces, so that it's easier to take apart when you need to get to the spare tyre.

Other than that, it's definitely worth spending an hour of your time to have something solid in the boot.

If you are planning to have a false floor in the middle, make sure you have enough off-cuts left over for spacers to put underneath the door.

The floor won't sit flat on the spare wheel, since the wheel itself doesn't sit totally flat in the well and also sits slightly lower than the top of the well.

Part two of the boot, got a tad bored again and was sick of not being able to put my skateboards in that other boot so i knocked this one up at work. Just a simple flat layout with 4 screws holding the back plate in to get to the battery and a lid on a couple hinges so can access my battery and a bit more storage.

New setup looks less practical than the old one, well executed though. p.s. that's not a skateboard lol

Dont judge haha thats not my proper board,

Mate first install looks great! I've got a fuel surge tank on the right hand side and wanted to make up a similar box to cover it aswell as sub box on opposite side. Would you have the measurements laying around still?

Nah sorry mate was just looking for my sketches, must have thrown them out sorry man.

Nice work man - admire the handy work.

But. As was said, your first attempt was probably the most practical - at least you can put some shopping bags in there etc.

Second one you would risk damaging the subs if you put anything in the back.

Yeah no problem getting the spare out, even though if i get a flat the spare tyre is pretty much pointless as my rims are much larger than that wheel barrow sized wheel.

That's awesome mate! I really wanna do the second install lol! Is there enough room to still remove the spair if needed?

Awesome work mate.

Yeah I had the same problem, had to put it on for a day and it looked crazy.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
