Here are some Pics of my great and glorious sub box

it's not 100% because the stupid jigsaw broke this afternoon. i'd hoped to have it in one piece by now

Also these are taken with my phone, my camera is in the er... shop.

It's setup for 2 x 10" plus my 400mm long Amp, which is why it's so long. the subs are within about 5mm of touching the side, which are flush against the suspension towers in the back. there is about 20mm clearance on either side of the amp from the subs. once i get some carpet to match the boot, it will look a lot better, trust me :rofl:

Well it's basically finished now. All i have to do is cover the mdf with carpet of some sort, and figure out why the stupid thing cuts out at high volume.

also, for some reason my head unit now no longer functions and i have to use the remote all the time.

anyways, tell me what you think

It doesn't sound, i had to send my head unit off to be inspected to see if they'll honour the waranty, so about 2 weeks until i have my head unit back. before i'd sent it i thought i'd fixed it up, but then it gradually got worse until it was back to where it was, which ot me sounds like either a heat problem or something gets looser as the car vibrates.

Yeah i'll get it for you tomorrow if that's alright. there are 7 pieces of MDF in all. Mine was a bit of a dodgy fit, but i'll get dimensions that will fit. A 'Prototype' as such

Get my stereo stuff installed in a few days!... wasnt gonna spend too much originally - but got a price too good to turn down... so if anyone else has been thinking about DVD and roofmount screen (for kids) then I'll post the deal I got...

Based on the pack in the summer Alpine catalogue... with the DVD head unit, 2 x IR headphones and 7 inch drop down TFT for $1999 reduced from $2799...

Told em I only had $2000 max including fitting and needed normal tuner head unit too, so the guy rang the store owner - who just happened to be sitting down with Apline distributor looking over the new Alpine stuff hitting stores soon... including an 8" screen replacing the discontinued 7"...

So he agreed to do the Pack plus a RRP $369 head unit ALL fitted for $2000!

But it got better - I said I really wanted MP3 compatability in the headunit - and he said the lowest price was for the IPOD atachable unit reduced from $699 to $499... BUT then he remembered they had them further discounted that week for $299!!

So the new price he agreed to all up including fitting is $2015, for:

- Head unit CDA-9826 (Ipod system)

- DVD player DVA-5210E

- Overhead drop-down screen (not sure on part # but its the new 8" version of the TMX-R700)

- 2 x IR headphones

RRP of $3700 + fitting (~$350) all for $2015 fitted :D :aroused:

Hi guys, fianlly got around to fitting up the stereo gear the night before the 1200 k trip. It has a Nakamichi head unit, a Soundstream 400 watt 4 channel amp and 2 pairs of MB Quart 6.5" co axials, one in each door. The amp is mounted under the driver seat at the moment, but I might move it later on.

Big improvement over standard, I ran out of time to fit the front tweaters in the A pillars. I removed the standard tweaters but was slowed down by not finding any signal at the standard wiring. This weekend I will run around with he multimeter and find the other end of them.

I now have a spare din hole, gauges maybe? The Greddy boost gauge is 60 mm, so it's too big though. So is the EGT gauge. More thinking needed and some suggestions might help????????

;)

Sounds like a nice setup there SK. Nakamichi desks are nice and clean. And you can't go past MB Quart's. You gunna put 4 15 inch subs in the back :(

If I had a spare DIN space I'd go straight for the 3 x 52mm gauge mounts you can get. They look pretty good (look stockish) and the little thieving ba$tards can't do a smash and grab ;)

I mounted 3 x 52mm gauges in the R33 like that and I was really happy how it turned out.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
