got my pioneer 12" installed and works perfectly. amp bolted on the box and all wires are hidden. Only problem is the my boot is huge (obviously not a skyline boot) and every time a corner is taken too fast it slides around like a monkey on ice.

What is the best way to mount my sub box so it doesnt move?

ive considered velcro or even fixing little brackets to the rear wall.

whats my best option?

my boot is completely carpeted and so is the box. I thought that having carpet on both would create enough friction to stop it but i was sadly mistaken, no big deal coz i decided to bolt it to the rear wall.

How it will go:

1. Going to Buninngs and getting 2 L-shaped shelf brackets (small)

2. drill holes in the box and the rear wall (appears to be possible as it is made of metal)

3. Using rivets i want to rivet the brackets to the rear wall as getting bolts to the other side of the wall might pose as a problem

3. bolt everything together nicely so the box hugs the rear wall giving me optimum boot space

what do you think?

kool thnx guys... i agree the velcro wouldnt work coz of the carpet on both surfaces but it'd also be damaging to the carpet wouldnt it? coz the carpet isnt stuckdown in the boot and would probably end and moving the carpet with the box anyway.

Are there any issues with drilling 2 5mm holes in the rear wall, behind the seats?

If you could get the Velcro secured to the carpet and rear shelf where your going to mount the brackets too theres no reason why it wouldn't hold. Velcro's amazingly strong stuff.

Would even cut back on some of the rattles between wood/ metal If the joins weren't tight enough.

If you don't want to drill into your car, velcro is a way to go.

Any issues, well I can't see any, but then again I don't own a skyline, take out the rear seat and have a look whats in the way very carefully before you do drill though.

In my vl I've screwed it from behind the seat into the box itself, holds nicely. Also have my earth in a similar spot, with a washer in between the screw/ squashing the wires up to the metal.

I'd still say velcro, pretty neat and a bit easier to add/remove.

lol... getting conflicting opinions now... i still think that bolting it down is the best idea but velcro might end up being the option if bolting encounters a problem.

The piece of wood idea would work but not too flashy. I put a cricket bat (dunno where i got it) in the boot to stop it moving and does the job but not very professional :)

    • Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks
    • Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks
    • Nice work on the paint. Those 3 studs are long as. 
    • Hi everyone, still chasing a bunch of this stuff. Thanks
    • Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
