Hi Guys,

Removing my standard rear speakers on a sII R33 in getting the car ready for window tinting.

Anyone whos done this before care to give some advice or steps as not as not straight forward as i thought..

i have undone the main center bolt... but not sure what to do next, do i rip up the grill (very hard to get off)?? If i do i think im going to damage it....

Is there some concealed screw / bolt that needs to be removed from the bottom that i dont know about?

why cant there be a DIY guide on this :-)

cheers

Take rear seats out. Bottom part first - 2 bolts at front just under lip of seat.

back is another 2 bolts by seatbelt anchors. The push seat up and pull out.

Rear tray has the C pillar trim clipped into either side. just caefully bend tray to get out. Pull towards front of car without lifting as there are a few clips that clip to metal parcel tray. Speakers are bolted to mounts that are bolted/screwed to metal parcel shelf.

My 33 doesnt have rear speakers, only holes where they once were!

Are you trying to remove just the speakers, or the whole parcel shelf?

Can't the window tinting guys work around the rear speakers anyway???

hahaha. my 33 doesn;t have rear speakers either. just small holes in the parcel shelf. and wires. haha.

the dude in japan must of taken them out. :(

Sounds like he's removed the parcel shelf guys!

thanks for the replies...

yep speakers covers came out, was hoping to do it without removing parcel shelf but had to remove it.

I'm pretty sure complete parcel shelf setup was stock SII (Sanyo 30W speakers and covers that had a bolt through the middle of them?).

All good :-)

heh.. the bolts through the middle of them are for compliance usually. They have to put the child restraint bolts in, and through the speaker is where they need to be!

install some mad speakers in the rear (focals)

then put the stock parcel tray back in and glue the restraint plastic covers over the stock grills

cut the top of the bolt end off and glue it so it looks like its actually in place. :-) looks like its compliant but the po po wont no

lol FTW

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
