Hey,

I noticed a decent amount of people here say they have an amp in the boot right next to the battery. I just looked at mine then since i have an amp and i realised that theres wires next to the battery and the metal bit isn't exact straight either, it slopes down. So i'm assuming those that put the amp in their boot next to the battery added something to go over the top of the wires for the amp to sit on.

Could anyone tell me how they put their amp next to the battery and provide pictures if possible?

Thanks.

No pictures here... but I just got some aluminium angle from Bunnings and made up a bracket which used the screws from the fuel-pump cover.

Currently got an amp, PC power supply and USB soundcard in there... soon to put another amp in as well ;)

i mounted my amp so that when you open the boot.. its staring you right in the face. i got a piece of mdf and screwed it onto the 'back wall' just under the strut brace, then stuck the carpet bit on and the amp over that. looks ok i guess.. haven't hidden the wires perfectly but you could if you wanted to.

very nice job mintr33! very professionally done! i like it!

But hey Tyson1990 if you want something real simple just get a thick piece of mdf board and cut to size. you can screw 1 side into the battery tray and the other side into the metal which will bring it up so its not on a lean. this will also hide the existing wires and give you some space to run your own as well.

the picture included is not of an amp install, originally i had an amp here but now they are all on show so i've used this space for fuses and stuff. but gives you an idea of the board used which will do if it wont be seen. mintr33's is awesome, but looks like his is fabricated specially to suit with brackets to size and everything, a lot more work involved but looks the part, so really depends on what lengths you want to go to.

hope this helps.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.

      It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
