Hi All,

I was bored on the weekend (actually let's say feeling productive), and I recently acquired this cheap amp for $20 and needed to mount it somewhere out of the way. Instead of mounting it under the seat like some, I decided to make use of the space between the fuel pump access point and the HICAS crap.

Note: This only applies to R33 Coupes.

I reused the stock fuse block bolt holes, one thing to notice, there's a tab on the rear side of the block that needs to be trimmed/snapped off in order to allow the plate to sit flush.

Other than that, the photos should speak a thousand words.

Final note, I've previously found that mounting the amp there, next to all the power lines, etc. 'may' cause some noise, but when I replaced it with better RCAs the noise went away. In the past, I've used 2x Z like alloy brackets I made using a flat piece of alloy. Too much drilling involved, this method requires you to only drill 1 or 2 holes. I went for 2x because of that odd looking bracket I found.

Nice work, do you have the dimensions for the amp? The Kenwood amp I had in my last r33 would not fit in there.

Edit: found the amp at the Kenwood site Size [mm] : 330[W] x 59[H] x 227.26[D]

Are you sure?

It does the job for giving a bit of extra sub bass. Given that the car has enough road noise despite sound deadening in doors and under the rear seat/wheel arches you have to accept the car is flawed for getting great sound.

This is good enough for my needs but clearly not perfect or ideal.

his rear speaker cones still seem to be intact

How can you tell from that photo unless it was shot clear the fark out you wouldnt know ?

they will without any doubt distort when turned up and eventually blow the cone past the voice coil gap by the air pressure firing into the underside In turn it frys the speaker , sometimes instant sometimes slow death depnding on the pressure wave , they do make soft foam inserts to stop it or you can make some easy enough

Ive been doing this since before your birth prob so dont bother with your theory rants Mate

I'm sure if his speakers were blown he would know and that he would have noted that too.

That's great you've been doing since my birth.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
