Hi Guys..

I'm looking at replacing the stock 6X9s in my R33 and am lookng for some advice regarding what to go for.

Not after anything flash (not big into steros) but basically something that will make the most out of the head deck (Pioneer 4X50watt).

advice regarding whether to go 2 / 3/ 4 way and how many watts (keeping in mind no plans for amps).

ie. using this head unit am i really going to benefit buying Pioneer 420w 3 way over 260w 3 way???

thanks!

if you want a top pair of 6x9's, get your hands on the phillips pro series speakers, they arent on the market any longer but they are great speakers to have if some1 will sell them to ya. i have them in mine, and they are clear as, before the amp got installed and even better after the amp.

I went for a new set of 6x9's and chose alpine type S. Can't remember the model number, but they were about $120 form JB's. Couldn't be happier. No need for a sub, as they have plenty of bass (no doubt a sub would have more, but I want to keep the boot space, and also I hate it when you see a skyline drive by and hear it thumping like a kidnap victim is trying to escape from the boot.)

I chose these speakers because I already had an alpine deck, and some alpine 5.25's in my doors.

Anyway, that's my .02

god dammit...

they come stock with 6inch front and back... fitting 6x9s in the back is a bitch without the right gear, which you can get, but i dont know what to look for...

if you have a sub, or plan on getting one, please dont waste your time with 6x9s, they will never be as good as even a mediocre 6 inch...

if you dont have a sub, and dont want one, then i dont know, go to a store and listen to them... i suggest getting a small amp as well...

also, those power ratings are max power, they mean sweet f**k all... look for RMS power... if your headunit has 50 watts x 4, then get something with 50 wattsRMS...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
