hey mate i don’t have any pic's just yet but i had the same problem that my sub box i had from my old car is just to big for the skyline boot.. I’m in the process of designing and making a custom boot with the fake floor and amps in the floor also. I’m going to use to tyre well and lift it up from there. il give you some info as soon as i get started should be this weekend..

i went with a small trapezoidal box from autobarn. It only just fits and you will need a sub optimized for a small enclosure to make the most of it.

I managed to fit it while retaining the spare and all boot trim.

I removed it all a month later when i started going to the track :P

You can buy a sealed enclosure for a 12" sub from JB Hi-Fi made by a company called Q-Max. It's just the right size to fit in the R32 boot, you just have to remove the trim over the rear windscreen wiper motor, slide it in, and replace the trim. The enclosure is like $89 or something? Here's a photo of the one in my boot:

I prefer sealed enclosures for their punchiness, anyway. Plus they're smaller so you don't lose as much bootspace. And they look better. :)

You can see in this second photo just how snug the fit is. You can also see why you need to remove the trim over the wiper motor to get it in as well. The good thing about this is that the box is easily held in place.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
