I'm looking to purchase some front splits for my '97 r33 series 2, should I get 5.25" or 6.5" for the front? Will be looking at purchasing the mbquart qsd216 6.5 or the 5.25" if they 6.5" wont fit in off ebay USA

It says the mounting depth for the 6.5" is 63.5mm

I also have a pair of boston z6 6.5" splits to install too, I will be probably putting these as the rear speakers because the crossovers are very big and I dont know where to put them. Will this be a good idea? Or should i just install the bostons in the front and the mbquarts in the rear? Speakers will be running of a pheonix gold titanium 500.4 75watt 4channel amp. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Go for the 6.5 inch spilts on the front.. It will sound a lot better with a bit more mid bass..

(yes the stock pods can hold the spilts- needs a little triming tho.. search for my thread -Hertz front spilts installed.. has a few pics etc etc)

Also i dont think the 5.25 spilts will bolt to the stock pods.. 6inch will deff fit!! hard to find..

I put my crossovers in the doors.. As in the gap where you put your street directory.. Fits perfectly for mine!!

As for what speakers to put in the front and rear.. well it comes down to your ears.

No need for spilts on the rear..

I have a 97 R33 S2 as well and i put a set of alpine type x splits in the front and back, both 6.5", The front speakers went straight in without modifying anything and i put the tweeters on the part that covers the wiring for the side mirror electrical wires, Definatly get sound deadening as skyline doors sound like absoloute shit without them, I am getting my doors done around august as well as my boot. I also have the crossovers in the same place as siddr20 With the wiring running back into the door, it looks good. the back i had a bit of trouble with, My car actually never came factory with parcel tray speakers (no idea why) and the people that had it in japan had a set of 6x9 pods that they took out before selling it (i could see the marks that it left) So i just took the factory parcel tray out and then made one myself out of MDF, just re covered it in carpet, and put the air vents in and cut out the speaker holes.. Was a bit dodgey getting the speakers in had to make some "modifications", And i just mounted the tweeters flush inside the rear side panel on each side in the interior, Right where your ears are if your a passenger :laugh:, I have the crossovers mounted in the boot next to the amp.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
