I am gonna put a Sub in the boot, but dont wanna pull interior apart as once u pull it apart once it never goes back 100% , so i was thinkin maybe run cables in flexi conduit and run the conduit under car from engine bay then up through the boot where there is a plug, this may sound stupid but i dont see why it wouldnt work?

i got my subs professionally installed. The guy did the subs, amp and all the wiring for $70. Did a fantastic job, pulled the car apart but put it together 100%. Doesnt even look like anything was touched.

If your worried about ripping up your insides then get it installed by a pro... running them under the car doesnt seem like a good idea but could work

lol... if you think $70 is steep then go to Strathfield, those guys wanted $140 just for the cable installation. For $70 everything got installed, neat and tidy and everything looks immaculate... the amp was mounted on the back a sub box and all the wires in the boot are concealed... there's no way i could do a job that good... very happy with the job

installation took about 2 hours with some diccussions... the cables set me back $30 (79.95 at strathfield). 600Watts RMS 4 channel wiring kit... enough for both my 600Watt subs no hassels. The sound is clear and no distorsion from the subs whatsoever (cant say the same for my stock 6*9's which will be going soon)

So anyway... j, if you are worried bout damaging your carpet from the wiring, a pro at a decent price is worth every cent in my opinion

$70 sounds extremely steep just for somebody to run a cable through.. However if you want it done perfectly without damage, get a pro to do it, if they damage anything get them to repair/ pay for the damage.

thats about what I charge for a 2 channel amp EXLCUDING the power kit. $130 with wiring included is the norm

I do this everyday and never had a probelm with panels ( on r31,32,33,34) not going back on right.

if you are in doubt get it done professionally. it will save you the cost of broken panels and trashed harnesses ( if you pinch one when you put the seatbelts back in!) and everyone of us in the business has insurance to cover a f'up IF we make one.

cabling under a car isn't a good idea. RCA cables arent made for outdoors and wont last anymore than 6 months tops. powercable is a similar thing unless its double jacketed.

I wouldnt even walk into a strathfield, let alone leave my car with them and pay them to touch it.

When I was 18 and had my first car I had one install done by them, just amp connection and cable supply as mentioned above, was $140 and i redid it all myself properly within a month. Never again. I should thank them I guess, seeing how badly "professionals" did it gave me the confidence to do it myself for the first time and i have never looked back.

if its against the guidelines then mods just remove the link.

if your looking for good advice on installing stuff yourself then have a look at www.caraudioaustralia.com there is some good tutorials in the forums.

yep a lot of the kids I trained there had no idea. most still don't...

CAA is a good starting point. a better one is asking a lot of questions and trying yourself.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
