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

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
