If the box is big enough, just bolt the amp to the side of the box, and then all you have to do is find somewhere to securely mount the sub box without compromising boot space too much. Don't forget that the amp needs decent ventilation too, sounds simple but I've seen a few where they've just whacked it in a corner under a cover...

When I had my stereo in, I just ran the RCAs (I had two) up the trans tunnel, as far away from other wiring as I could to reduce noise, then it went under the back seat and through one of the factory holes in behind the seat back. For my own peace of mind I used a bit of rubber to pad the wiring, so it wouldn't rub through on the metal, but it'd probably be OK. Power and earth are really easy in the R33s as the battery is in the boot. I just ran 2 guage wiring to my sub amp, and 4 guage stuff to my splits amp, straight from the battery (but fused, of course!). The wiring can be passed through some holes in the battery mount and under the carpet to keep things tidy, but for crying out loud, make sure you insulate the wires properly, as this is the last place you'd want anything to short!!! Earths I just ran to one of the bolts holding the boot lock mechanism in, again, this went under the carpet.

Umm that's all I can think of at the moment. If you run up against any specific problems, post back here.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
