well as far as ive heard, you got a good set of splits! focals rock my world (but others may differ?)

as for instalation...depends on your experience with splits...if you are a noob, you might want to talk to someone who has done it before. get some tips like tweeter position(but i guess thats why you posted in here:D)

I hate them speakers in the front i was hoping to put something in there wack the factory cover back on and forget about em but what brand make 6x4 or 5x4 or what ever they are...seriously, i found some vdo 90watters that i almost bought but the screw holes didnt line up, so i figured if i was gunna have to dick around trying to fit some shitty speakers in i might aswell save my time and get some good ones. So now i am looking for some competition class splitts......will watch this thread to see if any one has a recipe for installing them.

well i spent sooo frikin long making up the spacers ... in the end i dont' know if it was worth all the hard work i put into making it ... i was lucky i have all the tools at work to make it easily ... but still ... i think if i had known how hard it was originally ... then i would of just bought something that fit my fronts ... its pretty easy to make ... all u gotta do is cut out a peice of mdf that will fit the space of the hole thats in ur door ... accurately mark where u have to screw the spacer onto the door panel so it fits nicely ... then buy some circle spacers that will fit the speakers ... make sure that there is enough room in the back and the front of the speakers ... so that the electric windows dont' get in the way when its winded down ... and that the stock grills dont touch the cone ... even give it a bit of space cause the cone will move out a bit when its given abit ... i'll try and answer anything else ... hope it helps ...

Dudes..i went got the 6.5 inch focal speakers put in my R32 skyline . They Removed the plastic mold inside the door and cut out a piece of MDF to cover the existing mold. Cut out a 6.5" hole and screwed in the speaker. After that the put the door back in place and you cant even tell.

They speakers are fantastic and i recommend them to anyone.

Therefore 6.5" speakers do fit in a R32 SKyline!

Focal is a excellent brand.

ive got four 6.5" 2 way speakers in my r31 and they pump as far as modifications go they are a pretty deep speaker and i had 2 use doormounts (just a black piece of 6.5" pvc pipe!!)

P.S. is you do use the el cheapo 6.5"pipe door mount you will get alot better sound if you drilled small holes into the pipe if u get wat im sayin

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
