WOW!! I just filtched your idea for securing the subs to the floor.

Good job man. Very clean install.

Your first?

EIDT: - OK I just read your post again - excellent first job. My positive feedback would be to add more colour and a range of different coverings for the boxes, but don't go overboard. Flames and shit (is that too rice though?).

Edited by chrissso

yer spaire tire is gone... Been meaning to get a can of tyre slime or something... i know its not the best but hey its better then having nothing...

Yer as i said im redoing the whole design in the quest for more DB plus a more practicle design so i can pull the whole system out quicker and easier.... Had to rip off all the vinal to get it out as it was done from one side to the other... The new design will for of be the say lay out but the boxes will be done sepperate from the floor... Was planning on doing the boxes black again but have the floor in orange to break it up a bit and also going to hide the big amp.... Havent really done anything yet as ive been flat out with work but im off work not due to being sick so i think ill start it again now......

Will keep new pics posted and anything else i do :D

Farkk looks nice as..  some real PIMP MY RIDE shit..

However dose that effect proformance? or isnt that a factor for u?

With an install like that, I wouldn't want to thrash the car around.

Great job osiris, all thumbs up

well it is noticable in the weight... When i pulled it all out it was so much better feeling.... SO saying that now that im re doing it all my plan is to cut down as much weight as possible with the new install... Started it this morning and hopefully will do afair bit tomorrow as im not working all day so yer free time at last...

Hey...

Nah for the amps i got some 4G power wire from the battery and ran that into a distribusion block which puts out 3 8 gauge wires to each amp..I run 3 seperate fuses for each but its a bit messy so ive ordered in a fused distribusion block so its all in one....

Update is ive got the install all in again... I have a car show this weekend im going in the middle class for SPL. I am going tomorrow to see Image Car Electronics and getting a final tune and DB read out.... I have made a few changes just for the show making a devider between the subs so they dont cancel each other out as well as making a kind of chamber for the subs to direct the sound into the car.... Taken out my 6X9s so i have ports into the car and all in the tuning now... Am aiming for 140db but will be a fair bit to ask but i guess time will tell...

Ok the show was today....just thrown the boxes in and made a port passage for the subs to be directed into the car... after a tune the other day i pulled 135.1db...... the next day went back to try for more, first just tried the install how it was and was only getting about 125db or so and was like WTF is going on..... tried moving the boxes around and playing around with everything with no luck.... Ended up susing out the amp and i blew channed 3 and 4 on my amp so that was VERY unfortunate the night b4 the show.... Luckly my mate was borrowing a higher powered amp from our other mate so he lent me his 4channel shnider... Hooked it all up again and did 135.1db again..

Show today i pulled out the back seat to get more pressure into the cabin... First run did 135.1 again so was playing around with it again using the heater, AC, just testing things, in the end i got a little more and finished with 135.6db and took 2nd place in my class which im heaps happy with...

So yer starting all over again with new boxes which will be ported etc and will be getting a bigger amp, rewiring everything, and soon a new JVC head deck.... Aiming for 140DB if i can but yer its not the easiest without a hatch back...

Ill get a pic of the dodgy install for the show....

hey mate, good effort on your install.

yeh i was gonna say, with your sund facing towrds each other gonna be outta phase (fully cancel each other out)

if you dont want a massive wall inbetween your subs (would completely ruin the look) trying only haveing one of the subs reversed, this should help greatly the phasing issue.

I also wanted to ask, what do you do if you get a flat tyre. I am still trying to think of an awesome boot install which allows me to still access my spare tyre.

its pretty hard an a 33 coz the boot is pretty small..... my mate just got his boot install done in his lancer and is able to pull the floor out easily and the tyre is under there...

I currently dont have a tyre but yer i would like to work something out...

Going up to Image Car Electronics in Nowra some time this week and going to get him to design my boot for me....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
