I've almost finished my install of two 10", one facing up and back into each corner. I extended the enclosure to take up the whole of the boot floor, including the spare tyre well, which meant I only had to raise the floor by about 3". Still plenty of boot space, and awesome sound.

i think i'm gonna do the floor trick when my 12" comes.. and possibly mount the amp in the floor as well.

There is a fair bit of room once the spare is removed.. i'll rig up a custom floor and it should work pretty well i think. Maybe build fibreglass enclosure for the wheel well like i saw on here i think somewhere?

I like the appeal of still having some space in there. If i don't like the results I can always mount it a box later on.

hopefully in the next 2 weeks i am going to mount my 12inch sub in the tyre well and the amp behind the false wall and custom fabricate all the panels in the boot to hide everything. Should look mad. I was also thinking of cutting the skyline symbel in the floor and have a contrasting perpex underneath. What do you guys think. Would you get the best results face up or face down?

Glassn the tyre well is good cause you can use this room to build up the litres required to make the optimal cabinet for your sub(usually specified in your sub owners manual)This method was covered in a hot 4's magazine and the end result was quite impresive, unshure of what issue i may look for you, prob is my hot 4's are all buried by hpi (i stopped buying them and started to read a real mag) cheers - Geordie

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
