I'm about to install my sub/subs into the 34 when I've found a suitable amp and i'm tossing up a few options. I can install 1 or 2 10" subs and i'm looking for the most space saving install as I use the boot for groceries etc. One possibility I was tossing up was installing the two, one on either side of the boot in those "pocket-type' areas. Anyone willing to share pics of their setups so I can get some more ideas. I was also wondering if anyone was able to tell me what an approximate 'fabrication cost' would be for the setup i suggested done professionally?

Cheers

Yvonne

you can get premanufactured sub boxes that are moulded to the left corner of the r34 boot. when ive got the money together to get a decent sub and amp ill be getting one. they're about $300ish for a 12" sub. probly much the same cost for 10" maybe a bit less.

Any idea who makes these? Can you get them fir the right side too? ...*thinking* ... Would be a nice alternative to the big 2 x 12" sub box i have now ..

:P

Ive been quoted them from Maroochy Car Sound and Sound In Motion here on the sunshine coast. They are only moulded for left side. i guess something to do with it being in the way of things on the right side. Ive seen one moulded for a 33 and they take up fark all space.

here is a pic of the install in my r34. sub was mounted in the tyrewell and amp mounted on a new board under the strut brace. keeps plent of boot room aswell!

Plenty of boot room but you cant exactly use it without something possibly poking through the sub! Needs a sub cover/grill to protect it then the boot room would be usable :)

there is a fellow on the GC that makes them for wholesale to shops. I can get hem as well but I'm not sure if he does a 34 though.

Reckon he would do a group buy on them?

Say 10 of each, r32 r33 r34?

Id be VERY keen depending on price

hey guys

here is my sub install. has plenty of room in the boot for other shit. i havent yet finished it. still needs the false floor made up and side closure panels to complete the sub facia.

cmplex design on the box, has a L shaped box with curved in sides. sounds good, specs say 1.25sq ft for the proper sealed box, mine is about 1.10sqft. little under size but not noticeable.

will post more pics once i complete it this weekend or mid net week

    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
