i got 2x 12' subs in a bandpassbox hooked up in the boot of my line last week :) the box is pretty heavy and it moves around when the car moves, also i had to put the amp sideways behind the subs because theres not enough space.

Any pros out there can tell me will there be any negative effects for putting the amp sideways with carboard around it? and any quick ways of locking the sub box in the place i wanted

your help will be appreciated :D

thanks ;) i tried a 5x velcros 10cm tapes on the bottom of the wooferbox, the problem was that the carpet in the boot was made of soft material and the sticky tape on vel's doesn't stick well, so i just wasted 20 bux :)

try cutting a piece of timber to fit between the box and the side of the boot, wedge it in, but make sure its not too big, or u might break things that worked for me till i removed the sub box completely LOL.

I made a fake floor for my TX3 and that worked a treat in holding it down, it was carpetted in the sub box material nad my 12" in a box was perfectly stable even with hard cornering

I am considering this for my GTR now because the spare wheel creates an annoying buldge in the boot and my sub would slide everywhere

Velco to solve your problem, yes :P

If you're willing to part with all of about $3, head to bunnings or a hardware store, grab 2 (or 4 if you centre the box) small L brackets and screw them to the floor plate. _l l_ (like so) drop the box between then and its going nowhere, while still easy to get out. leave the velcro on, can't hurt.

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
