Hey guys.

I know that the factory speakers are 6.5in with a depth of 57mm.

However I am looking at a pair of speakers, the Polk Momo 650, and they have a depth of 61.8mm.

I am looking to run a set of these both in the front and the rear of my GTR33.

I am wondering if the extra 5mm will fit in there with little issue? Or do I really need to find a different speaker with less depth?

Thanks a lot for the help guys!

I've never pulled my door panels off yet, so i dont know what's behind them,

But when you add the 6mm MDF Spacer, wont this push the speaker out into the speaker grill? Or is there empty space between the speaker and the grill normally, which you make use of?

easier to remake the pod. then you can fit whatever you need to. in regard to the polk speakers. 20mm total thickness will do it. be sure when you make the new pods that you put the pocket end back on.

Chris, are you talking about the pod inside the door, removing that and making custom?

yep. when you pull one apart next have a close look at it. what I am saying will then make sense.

mine even reuse the stock mounting bolts.

tried the way you do them got a complaint that a garage remote went into the door so I changed how I did them. no hassles now.

the R33 that i put the Alpines into had the factory pods, we made a 6mm speaker ring to sit inside that. took 10min max to make a cardboard template, trace that onto the MDF, cut the MDF, sand the edges to get rid of the flash, and screw straight in with the speaker - into the factory holes.

only reason we took the factory pod off was to put sound deadening on the door and inside the door.

ok I see what you are doing. they won't clear the back of the pod. for a 6.25" (IE alpine) that would work. when you put a 6.75 (IE VDO or Blau) it doesn't. thats why I remake that pod. the MTX ones will drop into those holes easily as well. done a few of those.

as a second for this..

the vdo mps1700 splits sound great in an r33 and offer awesome bang for buck

whats the mounting depth of VDO and Blau (havnt installed them as yet) I know Fusion 6" are bloody deep, probably a smidge deeper then Type R's

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
