installing component speakers

[Nozila]

hey guys, ive recently bought a pair of kicker splits and would like to know if any1 has done a DIY to their r33, in regards to installing them to the front doors. I havent attempted to take the door apart yet as im worried about breaking/pulling something apart particularly the drivers door. This is just the first step and Im alredy afraid to attempt it, also Im unsure of where to place tweeters one door is apart. Any help would be much appreciated.

dooky.

Recently bought an r33 and have done much that

Doors not too much of a drama to take off, have 3 or 4 screws around the base, a small screw in the armrest handle well covered (normally) by a cap that flicks out, and the handle cover itself (flick out, slide toward the back of the door)

Then comes the fun part of easing the panel off. Helps if you pull out the armrest handle inset (the little cuppy thing) but its not entirely easy to do (or im doing it wrong) The armrest controls have a cable that clips in/out, unclip it and you're done.

Ive mounted in Sony 6"s with a tweeter up on the backplate to the side mirror. Once the door panel is off it just pops out. Had the best sound result for me, but play around with it once you have the main speaker in for best result. Everyone's head is in a different spot.

Hope it helps

angle it forward and pull from the back.. i think that is how i got it off..depends how strong the clips are.

yeah i'm trying this tommorow and i'm pretty worried of breaking something.

3 screws at the bottom of the skin, 1 screw in the armrest cup, handle cover flick out and pull to the back of the door... I think i can manage that.

I did this last weekend. Installed a set of 6.5" fusion 2ways in the doors. My door skins had already been removed once before so it was pretty easy for me. let us know how u go. take some digi pics along the way to.

SOMEONE HELP ME GET MY DOOR TRIMS OFF PLEASE....

I have un done the bottom screws along the bottom of the trim, flicked out the cover under the handle and unscrewed the large gold screw, and I have un screwed the pocket in the side door.

Only thing i think is left to do is remove the door unlock/lock handle surround, which i cannot get out and i am scared to break it HELP ASAP

Take a butter knife (or similar) wrap a piece of cloth around it, and just lever it around the surround. There is just one clip you need to find and unclip to get it off.

Even if you just move the knife around you'll find it.

I did mine a littel while back, put some pioneers in there, take a look.

That handle surround CAN break, but just don't bend it too much, and eventually it'll come off. That's the only hard part of the whole damn job!

The doorskin hangs on the sill, so pull the bottom away from the door, then slide the whole thing up, off the sill.

so that's 4 gold screws on pass. side (1*pocket-handle, 1*door lock trim & 2*horizontal door handle)

2 gold screws on drv. side (1 *pocket-handle, 1*door lock trim)

3 black screws on bottom of door trims both sides

take off lock surrounds

take out all switches plus their surroundings

take out pocket-handles (careful)

take out clarion paper poo and replace

good fun
