In another month or so mine will be out if you can wait. Having a few z owners get a test fit run soon.

Yeah I know of him he used glass which will yield you a little more room(I personally don't like using it)but with the MDF I have a little freedom elsewhere,the box that I'm making is a stacked ring set up too,but if you look at the people who have made them the rings are too thick,cutting down on volume plus I seen one that the bottom was on top of the spare tire hold down bolt mine will go to the bottom of the spare tire.

It is allot of extra work but I have the time and patience and I want it to like it was suppose to come that way from Nissan.:icon17:

Yup I made one just like that for my 280z spare tire well. I used my router to cut out the rings stacked and glued it all together worked well, till it got wet somehow anyway swelled and split. That was a long time ago though, I would do the bed liner trick if I were to do it again.

If you got the time might as well do a top notch custom job.

Pics on your progress would be awesome, nice to see people doing their own work.

Yea, I look forward to seeing the finished product. I think this is the way to go for the DIYer......... and the bedliner trick would finish it off nicely.

Do you have any preliminary pics or info like material,size,weight.

Fiberglass probably, not going to stick out of the top of the floor going to have two options with or without spare tire and may have an option of a alpine pdx5 to fit in it as well.
