Nice job! I'm always more impressed when someone customises their car themselves, and makes their own stuff. Paying someone to do it gives you no right to show off, but YOUR boot install looks excellent!

yeah its pretty easy to do if you just have a crack! under the amp theres an xbox poking through to the back seat and in the dash is a 7" screen and a dvd player. cadence 7"x5" and 6" in the rear. this way i can use the xbox as a stacker, i dont like carrying cd's everywhere!

it took me about 2 days tod cos i got a little boy i didnt get much time.

the subs are boxed out but not to the maunufacturers specs but its within 1 litre. the plan was to leave lots of boot space but since doing the install i havent used the boot too scared!

Yeah man, we'd appreciate more pics... i'm keen to see how you dealt with the battery/fuse block. I have a rear strut brace (which i'd like to keep) that gets in the way of doing anything funky.

I'm in the process of making a new parcel-shelf up today, and I was going to put my 12" sub into a piece of wood and replace that battery cover piece, similar to what you have done.

Since were on the topic, this is a pic of my R33 boot I did myself for an audio comp recently. 'Scuse the unbrished microsuede!

It was supposed to be a quick install, but I think a full on fibreglass one would have taken only a little bit longer. :(

Anyways, this is being overhauled shortly for a better show install. B)

*EDIT - Sorry for the thread hi-jack fredzz, your car looks mean man, lovin the Skyline symbol!!

Great job fredzz32...Lookin very schmick..

A little off topic but how do you guys over come your boot rattling??...Ive got 2X12" subs in my R33 boot and it sounds like sh!t on the outside due to my rear bar convulsively vibrating....I stopped my number plate vibrating with some double sided tape but im thinking the rear bar will take some work than that.....Any suggestions would be appreciated!!....Cheers.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
