My New V35 Fibreglass Sub Box Install

Finally got around to properly installing everything this arvo and getting rid of my old sub box that took up half the boot. Please excuse the video sound - the sub does not really distort that much - the camera does not take great audio (and the front Soundstream splits are not quite as bright as they seem in the video either). The setup does sound good, and will sound better with some tuning and refining.

FYI I bought the sub-box and 8" JL Audio sub from a USA Ebay seller .... US$500 delivered to my door - a great price I think. Yes I am aware the Boss amp is a piece of junk, but I will get a decent amp later on - it will have to do for now.

Enjoy :banana:

10yrs old & 60,000 readers monthly, nope no-one goes there anymore ;)

There's still quite a few "old" faces on there so to speak but as one would expect, quite a few new faces with all the same questions.

Sometimes gets a bit repetative but what forum doesn't hey?

I'm just waiting on a few remaining bits to get here and I can start getting my gear into the V35, looking forward to it too as it's going to be a K.A. system :3some:

mark,

yep thats the point I was getting at. (happy to give you another side to the story as well.)

in regard to forums - this one is not too bad at repetition. bit of organisation fixes most things like that. a good admin team helps too.

(sorry for the minor hijack andrew.)

In the V35 coupe the jack and spare are in the centre of the car with a timber sheet covering it, which can still accessed with the sub box in (the timber panel does no go the whole width of the car - just the centre part). I folded the carpet under the sub box back to just under the edge of it so you can still lift up the timber sheet to reveal the spare and jack.

Awesomest!

Beats having the sub flying around in the back as you make a turn :D. I saw a similar box on ebay usa but the postage killed my interest.

Although i think i asked an aussie seller on eBay once and he can make a custom sub enclosure for v35 for a decent price if we can get a group buy going.

I'll double check and let you guys know.

Hey Andrew,

Nice job! It's giving me a yerning for a bit more bass in the V36 :( I have a nice Alpine sub out of the R34 in the cupboard, has me thinking now.

Well the thinking has been done :) Made a box and got rid of the BOSE amps and put in a 5 channel Amp. just need to replace all the other speakers now :P

Pic1 masked up. 2 glassed. 3 deadener fitted. 4 covered. 5 amp wired up. 6 finished.

Anyone seen any bass, mid, tweeter sets? All I can find are splits.

Depends on your budget & ears!!!

If you are wanting 3way sets there are Hybrid Audio (HAT), Focal, Dynaudio, Rainbow, DLS, Morel, Hertz & seas who all produce 3way sets.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
