Hey, sorry to necro this again, but a few people went unanswered who wanted one. I saved mine made from lofty before my 33 went to the wreckers. If anyone in WA wants to buy mine they are welcome to make an offer. Doesn't do me any good in the V35 (like I don't have boot space to spear :P).

Just like I said to begin with, and anyone who snapped one up, they are awesome. Save space and fit/look great.

Im just about done making my Carbon Fibre Bandpass box for 2 12" to fit under the rear parcel shelf of a R34 GTT but had some built similar to these before, didnt have enough bass hit for me..lol going for extreme hit with minimal space consumed

the new box is pretty trick, putting it into the Extreme car show next weekend and running 2 SPL contests over the next month

and will post up the results ....and when I get time to run the Spectral Analyzer in the car before hand.

maybe If I can find a donor car to let me mold a box from I can do R32/33 or what ever pro custom box you wanted ?

Approx what size was the box?

What sort of price would this come in at to mold a box/template for a 33? I've been toying with the idea of getting  molds made up to sit in each corner of the boot but not sure if the box volume will be big enough for deep bass hits.

I design boxes for each woofers specs, not generic ones. generic boxes = generic sound

but when the bass enters the boot and cant escape into the cabin properly the bass is muddled and boomy.

now it hits like a hammer in the back.SPL is way up now too. since being ported thru the seat to the inside of the car.

before you ask I have been doing this for more then 15 years pro.

I can see if I can use a car from the wreckers or one of the local guys car for molds. lots of people want them...lol

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.

      Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
