WOW!! I just filtched your idea for securing the subs to the floor.

Good job man. Very clean install.

Your first?

EIDT: - OK I just read your post again - excellent first job. My positive feedback would be to add more colour and a range of different coverings for the boxes, but don't go overboard. Flames and shit (is that too rice though?).

Edited by chrissso

yer spaire tire is gone... Been meaning to get a can of tyre slime or something... i know its not the best but hey its better then having nothing...

Yer as i said im redoing the whole design in the quest for more DB plus a more practicle design so i can pull the whole system out quicker and easier.... Had to rip off all the vinal to get it out as it was done from one side to the other... The new design will for of be the say lay out but the boxes will be done sepperate from the floor... Was planning on doing the boxes black again but have the floor in orange to break it up a bit and also going to hide the big amp.... Havent really done anything yet as ive been flat out with work but im off work not due to being sick so i think ill start it again now......

Will keep new pics posted and anything else i do :D

Farkk looks nice as..  some real PIMP MY RIDE shit..

However dose that effect proformance? or isnt that a factor for u?

With an install like that, I wouldn't want to thrash the car around.

Great job osiris, all thumbs up

well it is noticable in the weight... When i pulled it all out it was so much better feeling.... SO saying that now that im re doing it all my plan is to cut down as much weight as possible with the new install... Started it this morning and hopefully will do afair bit tomorrow as im not working all day so yer free time at last...

Hey...

Nah for the amps i got some 4G power wire from the battery and ran that into a distribusion block which puts out 3 8 gauge wires to each amp..I run 3 seperate fuses for each but its a bit messy so ive ordered in a fused distribusion block so its all in one....

Update is ive got the install all in again... I have a car show this weekend im going in the middle class for SPL. I am going tomorrow to see Image Car Electronics and getting a final tune and DB read out.... I have made a few changes just for the show making a devider between the subs so they dont cancel each other out as well as making a kind of chamber for the subs to direct the sound into the car.... Taken out my 6X9s so i have ports into the car and all in the tuning now... Am aiming for 140db but will be a fair bit to ask but i guess time will tell...

Ok the show was today....just thrown the boxes in and made a port passage for the subs to be directed into the car... after a tune the other day i pulled 135.1db...... the next day went back to try for more, first just tried the install how it was and was only getting about 125db or so and was like WTF is going on..... tried moving the boxes around and playing around with everything with no luck.... Ended up susing out the amp and i blew channed 3 and 4 on my amp so that was VERY unfortunate the night b4 the show.... Luckly my mate was borrowing a higher powered amp from our other mate so he lent me his 4channel shnider... Hooked it all up again and did 135.1db again..

Show today i pulled out the back seat to get more pressure into the cabin... First run did 135.1 again so was playing around with it again using the heater, AC, just testing things, in the end i got a little more and finished with 135.6db and took 2nd place in my class which im heaps happy with...

So yer starting all over again with new boxes which will be ported etc and will be getting a bigger amp, rewiring everything, and soon a new JVC head deck.... Aiming for 140DB if i can but yer its not the easiest without a hatch back...

Ill get a pic of the dodgy install for the show....

hey mate, good effort on your install.

yeh i was gonna say, with your sund facing towrds each other gonna be outta phase (fully cancel each other out)

if you dont want a massive wall inbetween your subs (would completely ruin the look) trying only haveing one of the subs reversed, this should help greatly the phasing issue.

I also wanted to ask, what do you do if you get a flat tyre. I am still trying to think of an awesome boot install which allows me to still access my spare tyre.

its pretty hard an a 33 coz the boot is pretty small..... my mate just got his boot install done in his lancer and is able to pull the floor out easily and the tyre is under there...

I currently dont have a tyre but yer i would like to work something out...

Going up to Image Car Electronics in Nowra some time this week and going to get him to design my boot for me....

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
