Just wondering if anyone makes/sells/has specs for sub boxes mounted on the side of the boot. Was gonna get a guy here to make a custom box up but was wondering if anyone on the forums made em or had details.

I like the box on the side as it leaves plenty of room still in the boot (well "plenty" is probably a bit of an overstatement for an r33 boot).

Heres pics:

Those pics look like a box a guy on these forums made... i was trying to convince him to make me one, but he didn't want to :cheers: heh

If you wanted to do it Fhrx, there was a bit of interest in the other thread - probably 5 or so people...

they look awesome. wat size are the subs in the pics. i am also looking for someone to help fit subs so i can get great bass but keep as much boot space as possible as i need it.

Cheers -Mark-

I had two made by Northfield fibreglassed into the side like that. Mine are on a bit more of an angle and sit slightly further back. They were $200 each but they leave heaps more room than the other one I had. Most premade boxes I have found are at least 100 but none ever fit that well. If you are keeping your car for a while I think it is a good way to go.

sdm33,

Mate did you have the job done recently by Northfield. I went there recently asking about a simple sound setup for a Skyline and they mentioned that they had recently done one that sounds similar to yours.

Did they do a good job by chance?

Cheers!

If you get some prof to make you a box, they will charge you some $$, not that im a tight arse but why dont you make a little project for your self, get a jigsaw, 18mm mdf from bunnings warehouse glue screws and begin making ur box, after its made you can either paint/carpet it which saves you some money to throw in your fuel tank or for partying on the weekend

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
