hey hows it going, atm i am on a search for a R33 gts-s 2 door manual, as it is going to be done up as a show car.

I have a coupel of questions that i need anyone to help me with pls

Ive done alot of searching and check out heaps of boot displays all looking awsome.

1. if i airbrush a sub woofer, would it defect the sub woofers performance in anyway or muffle its sounds???

2. is there enough room under pass seat for a PS2 to sit?

3. Where can i get a 12v power suplly for the PS2 to run in car

4. anyone got measurements of the boots

Im looking at running to 12inch kicker square subs, 2 1000wtts (600r), alpine deck, tv monitor above deck, slpine 6 1/2 inch splits in fron, same in back running off a 800w alpine deck, subs are air brushed and there are words in there sum where but cant explain all of it as i need the idea to be MINE hahahaha

I would reccomend looking at other amplifiers than Alpine, as there is a lot of quality out there... namely the US brands: Boston, Phoenix Gold, just to name a couple i have dealt with.

PS2 will fit under the passanger seat, all you need to power up is a transformer 12VDC-240AC (available from most Auto shops). Alternatively you could modify the PS2 itself and run 12VDC directly to the PCB in the PS2 if you know what you are doing.

Personally, i would highly recommend XBOX due to its inbuilt HDD, and capabilitys as a Media Centre, once it has a modchip installed. this will help greatly when driving on bumpy roads! You will also save money on having to buy and extra DVD player for the TV screen, unless your deck is DVD capable.

Dont forget about cabling and sound deadening...

I just recenlty spent $1500 on cabling, sound deadening and optima battery. No point getting compettition components without installing it properly IMHO.

Also i wouldnt worry so much on getting top end speakers for the parcel shelf, as their main purpose is primarily for refill, and SQ isnt really a main factor when you have a quality front stage!

If you are interested in some prices on a high end setup, drop me a PM, or add me to msn and i should be able to help you out!

PM me if you want my msn details, and ill help you out as much as i can.

no airbrushing won't effect, the performance, i spose theoretically it'll make the cone slightly heavier, but it will be really really negligable only thing u wanna make sure of is that if u have any cone flew which might cause the paint surface of sumthin to crack or what effect the crazy vibrations will have on the artwork.....

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
