ive installed a few subs. just make sure u put a fuse between the amp and battery. when u turn it on for the first time...

MAKE SURE THE FUSE IS OUT AND DECK TURNED OFF DURING THE WHOLE INSTALLATION!

as a final step put the fuse in and turn the deck on..

ive had a bad experience connecting the whole thing with the fuse in... good bye amp :D

oh yer and make sure u use thick cable if you have a powerful amp otherwise the wire can melt which is really dangerous.

hope that can help:D

just a another tip as well...when you are grounding your amp, make sure the line between the amp and ground is as short as possible. also, the power line which goes to your amp should have a fuse within 30cm from the battery....just some things i have picked up from hanging around a qualified car audio installer

nothing but fluffly white stuff under there, actually come to think of it what happens if i get a puncture??? haha, na ive got a few of those short term tyre weld thingies in my car, havent had to use it yet (touch wood) so i cant really say if it will work or not, heres hoping it will

No probs with the wiring etc... 60 Amp fuse connected about 3" from battery, earthed to battery earth point on car etc...

i like the idea of buildouts from the odd shaped spaces on the sides of the boot. Will attempt the box re-build soon. No time this weekend though!!! WOOHOO!!!

Thanks everyone.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
