all my speakers are mounted behind the doors in their factory spots, except for the tweeter which is flush mounted further up the door.

Front Doors have Dynamat in them to make them a bit more solid.

Amp is located behind the rear passenger seat as its the only place big enough to be able to mount it.

Note for all: 0 guage wiring is a head f*k to get through the firewall!!

welcome mate :)

my stereo install was going ahead when i bought the car 12 months ago but ive had that many dramas ive left it as it aint important, currently just have 2 x 10' subs in a box with 2 alpine v12 amps mounted onto the box, and thats about it.

plan is to make a full rear setup with fake panels and some fancy lighting etc :D

if you need the rear useable I would suggest a false floor and a sub in the wheel well. Invert the tyre and you should be able to make the box removeable so you can keep the tyre in place. how good are you with wood work?

cablling IS NOT a problem in these. remove the drivers inner guard and there is a decent sized grommet there. (same as a 34 ,33 and 32.)

I'll be putting a stealth system in mine, and the only obvious part will hopefully be just the screen/dvd head unit. Speakers will go in the factory locations, but I noticed that when I removed the covers for the (factory) tweeters in the A-pillar, that there wasn't very much room behind it. Hopefully this won't be a problem...

I will be putting a sub in but hopefully working with the installer on a design that doesn't make it obvious that there is a sub sitting there in the boot, for those times when the boot is opened and/or the luggage cover is rolled back or removed. Might try and make it so that it fires inwards towards the rear strut tower well at an angle to give it some loading...

im pretty good with making up custom installs i made a custom setup in my old car which pulled 147dB and will be using all that gear in the stagea. currently the install is stealth with splits in the front and rear doors.

you shouldn't have a problem mounting new splits in the front a pillar i pulled the a pillar cover out and fibreglassed them up from the inside so i could remount them using the kenwood covers so they could still remain flush mounted.

Is that your Stagea in your avatar? :)

I'm looking at putting 2 * 12" Subs in the back with an 800w Monoblock amp - amp will be mounted in that compartment on the side...sk's idea ;) Easily removable for when I need the space ;) Up front will be Pioneeer Kevlar Splits and coaxial in the back...Should be sweet :D

Cheers,

Chris

I'll be doing the same, splits in the front and co-axials in the back, but I'm not sure if I'll use a 10" or a 12" sub. If I can get away with a 10", then that's the way I'll go...

I think I'd like to set up the sub box on one side of the boot, not along the back seats like Terminal's ones. Time (and money) will tell what path I eventually take, though.

Ok, I found on Nissan Silvia, a pair of Pioneer 250w Kevlar splits for $279 - is that a good buy? :DSplits

Most probably getting this headunit Headunit

Getting a very good deal of a mate of mine ;) 50 Watts x 4

Probably just one of these....Im poor :D 1000w Sub

PION%20306CBOX%20Sub.jpg

One of these amps.....not new though ;) Another good deal 600 Watts x 1@ 4 ohm load 1,000 Watts x 1 @ 2 ohm loadAmp

I havnt figured out anything for the rear yet.....bugger it. My question is, do I have to run the splits of an amp? :D Alot of my mates dont, just wondering whether it is really worth doing?

Cheers,

Chris

Yeah those kevlar splits are exactly what i have. $279 is an awesome price for them too.

My mate had the amp for about a year and wasn't using it, so he threw it my way and said happy birthday (it wasn't my birthday) and so i socred a 5 channel V12 amp

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
