Question: Custom Boot install for R33


400HP
 Share

Recommended Posts

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

    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
