Hi guys,

Does anyone have a custom boot install for an R33? I've got quite a few questions:

1) has anyone removed the spare and put the sub in there in fibre glass?

2) does anyone face the at the right side of the boot from the left side or vice versa and does this sound good?

How much does this cost?

post your piccies too

Cheers

I don't see a reason why you couldn't do something like this.

The question then is where are you going to hide the spare wheel?

I have a dual 12" sub setup in my boot. If you choose the right sub the boxes can be small enough that the setup fits comfortably between the strut towers leaving plenty of room in the boot for other things.

I had my sub box, a welder, a mid sized PC tower, heaps of metal, some PC speakers, keyboards and other stuff in my boot and still plenty of room left....

As bass is no directional I don't see a problem with having a sub on the side. As long as the box is made right then the setup should be good.

Dude I dunno about that... I have two 12's in my boot and theres NO ROOM left!.... Maybe an R33 has a much smaller boot then the cefiro? not sure

but anyway I was gonna buy one of those tyre puncture inflaters that mercedes uses for the SLK as the SLK doesn't have a spare either.

I tend to disagree...

I can clearly hear the bass difference when the subs are upright and the front of the sub facing the front of the car, in comparison to having the subs right at the back of the boot, laying down.. Much better like that....

.. i think there's an ideal layout -- As far back as possible, flat down ?

By directional he means when you listen to bass notes, you can't exactly define where the sound is coming from (front, back, left or right). As opposed to higher frequencies (treble) you can clearly tell from what speaker the sound comes from.

A sub will generally sound loudest at the back of your boot (closer to the back seat) facing the back of the car. Called rear loading.

to shed a bit of light on the topic, ive taken the tyre out of my boot completly and now rely on a couple of cans of tyre weld and good tyres.

Um goto www.cardomain.com/id/crazyfcuk to see some of the pics of my install if you want cause i cant really be bothered explaining the whole thing again.

However if you've got any questions then just post them here and ill try to reply to them

Ive done more work to the car than whats on the site, but havent updated the stereo section yet will do in the next day or so. also theres some photos on at www.shoreracing.co.nz/nationalsphotos.htm its the one with the green rings around the subs and speakers. actually i think theres only a small photo, so ill post some more tonight onthe cardomain site

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
