Well why ask the question then?

None of us really care if you decide to hack up your car to fit some 7x10's in. They've given you an opinion and you're not going to take any notice, so go do it your way.

Thats true.. i'm arguing here for someone that hasn't had barely any input to this topic.. screw this. 'Ol_Mate' thats the best post on this topic i've seen... :laugh:

As for if they fit or not... its going to be a bit of a hack but they will fit.... probably sound pretty good too...

come on guys no need to get all cut here.

i obviously asked because i'm clueless when it comes to audio and never fitted any kind of speakers myself in a car.

but after thinking about it and doing some searching last night on this forum on how to remove the parcel shelf i came a cross a DIY on how to make your own parcel shelf and thought it would be a good idea. i've already removed the rear seat and already have plenty of mdf boards and all the tools i need. plus i got absolutely nothing else to do so yeah...

i appreciate all the opinions given.

cheers

no ones getting cut here man... just take out your seats, take out your shelf, buy some mdf wood and mark the outline of the shelf on the mdf, try with 18mm to make it thicker, cut it out then put it in the car and see if it fits, you might need to cut the shelf your making up just a tad where the window angles down but carpet covers EVERY screw up you make so dont be too fussy.

You will need to cut metal but you'll need the right tool for it so until you have that tool... i cant remember what its called but its something car audio fitters use thats on a 90 degree angle, i wouldn't really attempt it, but if your bored go for gold, once again they will fit so try your best and you will succeed. :ninja:

yeah like i said i already got the mdf and stuff. my dad's an electrical contracter so i've got access to all the tools i might need :ninja:

from what i read its not really hard to do except for the little tricky parts like you said on the window side and its a bit time consuming but i got all the time i need :P

i'm keeping in mind every suggestion given here just incase it doesn't work out so don't think i'm ignoring any opinions in this thread otherwise why would i have started it.

thanks

nah the only concern is cutting the metal everything else is a peice of piss... i made the shelf for my 6x9's in 20mins flat... cut out and carpeted and fit like a cok in a sok.. just worrie bout cutting the metal... where there is a will there is a way... and the 7x10's will fit

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
