Hi,

on the weekend im installing my car audio stuff into my new R33. Now this is the first skyline ive owned and the boot isnt very big. i have a rear strut brace in the back to. My question is, what is behind the back boot panel? Is it hollow behing there? If i remove the panel will i be able to make the box sit further back so i dont take up so much boot space or is there something behind there? and i jus plan on working around my strut brace.

thanks

just pull the carpet foward and see 4 ya self..

there is battery on left / hicas unit / some fuses and yeh

only thing you could use the space for is mounting / hiding an amplifier to save space

If you are in sydney, then i suggest you go to marty.. Whos marty.. well the guy who posted above me lol (FHRX) hhehe..

Anyways if got two 10 inch subs, then you might have some trouble mounting them above the fuel pump..

You will be able to squeeze your amp in there tho!!

Or you can always take your space saver out and you gotyour self more room..

I bought a Jaycar 4ch 100wrms amp to replace my bigger amp, because it fits perfectly in there!

Running one 12" sub in a box on the right-hand side of the boot. Well... the entire right-hand side of the boot really! =-/

I got some info from the thread mentioned above and put my amp over the fuel tank and 12" Sub in the right rear corner, fibreglassed up a seald box for it. Didn't come up too bad and haven't lost much space.

I don't have any pics, but i have a two amps mounted in that space. I have my 12" Sub in a separate box in the boot... lol i stapled Velcro onto the bottom of the box and it just sticks to the carpet in the boot (which is glues + stapled to the board thing that covers the space-saver) and stops it sliding around.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).

      Yeah, they'll find anything they can. "Oh aftermarket ecu, that doesn't comply with emissions" lol.

      See, I still thought it was 10 posts, and she was at 7 so I couldn't be bothered going in and fixing it when the fix was to simply post 3 more times. 8 more times....perhaps I should have.
