Nice job! I'm always more impressed when someone customises their car themselves, and makes their own stuff. Paying someone to do it gives you no right to show off, but YOUR boot install looks excellent!

yeah its pretty easy to do if you just have a crack! under the amp theres an xbox poking through to the back seat and in the dash is a 7" screen and a dvd player. cadence 7"x5" and 6" in the rear. this way i can use the xbox as a stacker, i dont like carrying cd's everywhere!

Yeah man, we'd appreciate more pics... i'm keen to see how you dealt with the battery/fuse block. I have a rear strut brace (which i'd like to keep) that gets in the way of doing anything funky.

I'm in the process of making a new parcel-shelf up today, and I was going to put my 12" sub into a piece of wood and replace that battery cover piece, similar to what you have done.

Since were on the topic, this is a pic of my R33 boot I did myself for an audio comp recently. 'Scuse the unbrished microsuede!

It was supposed to be a quick install, but I think a full on fibreglass one would have taken only a little bit longer. :(

Anyways, this is being overhauled shortly for a better show install. B)

*EDIT - Sorry for the thread hi-jack fredzz, your car looks mean man, lovin the Skyline symbol!!

Great job fredzz32...Lookin very schmick..

A little off topic but how do you guys over come your boot rattling??...Ive got 2X12" subs in my R33 boot and it sounds like sh!t on the outside due to my rear bar convulsively vibrating....I stopped my number plate vibrating with some double sided tape but im thinking the rear bar will take some work than that.....Any suggestions would be appreciated!!....Cheers.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
