Hey guys,

my brother is putting me to work soon on his 32's boot. First i'm going to dynamat the whole inside of the boot but then he wants a audio setup through the back he does not mind if there is no access to the spare wheel ( as he hasn't even got one ). So i just need a bit of insperation if u could post below a Photo of your setup and maybe give me just one paragraph of what u have done and what equipment is included. Just a quick run down of the car.

Its a R32 M-spec, has nothing in the boot at the moment so its empty as can be, has got leak in the lights but will be fixing the seal when i start on the boot. battery is still at the front of car.

Also we dont mind if there is no extra space in the back. as we barely ever use the boot. And we don't even use it for storage its just there for show

anyway guys hope to hear back from you soon and see lots of nice setups

The center bottom panel lifts out and still has the factory spare wheel and jack.

How much did that setup set you back? ( cash wise ) and how long did it take to install

So far $2.5k, all DIY. I only get to work on it after hours so like 2-3 hours a night on the nights I do get off, been slowly chipping away at it for about 2 months and almost finished.

looks difficult as. thats the thing im worried most about. but i definatly like it and im sure my bro will to.

So your actual boot works as sort of a sub box. thats why the backends of the subs are facing in ?

Not particularily difficult. Just time consuming to make sure it all works the way I want and prevent rattles. Google "inverted mount subs", the back of the subs is facing out purely for aesthetics, as the magnets on eclipse subs are massive (the subs are 10"s) so I preffered to invert mount them as they look better. There's a box built into the front of them above the fuel pump/below the parcel shelf that attaches to the first front panel, and the subs then seal into that. I'll upload some more pics tonight and you'll see what I mean.

My setup is pretty simple but does the job and its pretty neat..

I bought the moulded sub boxes off ebay for $80 each

I can still use the boot, just need to order in some covers for the subs, they are the Alpine Type R's 12"

:)

In regards to rattles, I glued some rubber to the back of the number plate and thats pretty much done it for me..

You guys should see how awesome my boot is. current set up is awesome. it's light weight and flexible. It's currently empty. Unless it's full of shopping, or full of bags when I go away for a weekend. It's an expert set up. I love it. I could even throw a couple of chopped up dead bodies in the boot :D Better than 7 subs i reckon :blink:

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
