hey, im curious as to what size speakers people have put into their r33's. ive been told that only 6" is all that fits. and by others that 6.5" and 7" fits perfect. ive found some 6.5" splits for the front that i like. but want to know for sure if they'll fit or not first. also what fits in the parcel tray. thanks people!

hey man

i think 6.5" splits will fit in the front. well im guessing they would!!

but in the rear i think you'll have to go with some 6x9's!

but don't take my word for it, could very easily be wrong!! ;)

i got 6" in the front, they fit perfect, cant see why u cant put 6.5" in with little modificatin.

in the back i got 6x9's but i need spacers. i then recarpeted the shelf and make it look like its a moulded parcel. will get pics of shelf if u want but inregards to front shouldn't be a prob.

6" (6.25 on stock mounts) front - 6.75 rear. with custom mounts anything is possible. 6x9s - no no without a LOT of work.

6.5" will fit if you make an MDF ring to sit them on.

6x9s in parcel shelf are easy. did them last week for -R33GTS- All you need is spacers and they sit perfectly.

So you need a MDF spacer to pull the speaker away a bit, is that so it fits in the hole - or so the back of the speaker doesnt hit the inside of the door?

I'm thinking this is what fhrx did here:

yep.

when i did R33GTS's spacers i made a template so i can just make them when ever i need to without having to measure up again. pretty much the same as Fhrx's. i used 6mm MDF and i had no worries.

for the 6x9 spacers, he already had a set in, but 16mm spacers would work a treat if u were to buy pre made ones.

only things with the ones FHRX show is this. pull your door off, note where the tab is on the back. that is the door pocket seal. with the ones pictured that block is gone and anything in the door pocket goes straight into the door. I usually make an exact copy of them that way you dont loose things.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
