ok guys so i been thinking about this 4 a while ..

first i wanted a sub box on the side pannel like you get the fiberglass ones, but wanted it to be wooden didnt like the idea of a flimzy box ...so here are my pics

the hole to fill ,

started with some dynamat ( didnt car about extra weight) just hate rattles and tiny sound

the disign lay out to get a pattern of how far i wanted it to sit back in there ..

designidea.jpg?t=1314015118after playing around cutting and shutting little bits i took it out to get the outside measurements and transferd it to my mdf sheet and cut it out and tacked it together to see if it fitted back up again DSC_0698.jpg?t=1314015118DSC_0700.jpg?t=1314015118

note the tapper in on the left to fit past the brackets

fitted up nicely i think had to add it strips under the base to keep it square and sitting flat i tidyd the strips up and screwed em down

( i have finished this box and coved it ill add pics 2mora) its air tight screwd and liquid nailed shut

the amp's will be on a flip down back peace under the rear window so wen its pinned up you will not see the amps or wireing unless its unpined and droped down to keep the boot simple and tidy i havent started that yet but ill update wen its done

also if you dont like well meh :sleep:

FYI .you could have done it and had it behind the panel, there is plenty of airspace and you wouldnt loose any boot. 12" subs fit no cutting of steel

bet that dash is a bugger on sunny days reflecting off the windscreen

but overall a better attempt then some of others in the audio section. IMO

its not a gloss paint so it doesnt reflect at all as for box i wanted a sealed wooden box if not i would have just made a pannel like you said and flush mounted it in im not fussed on boot space as its a weekend driver just wanted to get the spare out with out the sub getting in the way

    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
