If it's for your Integra, I would guess it's because the factory holes are for 4-5" drivers, and you want to fit something larger? Most drivers taper off in diameter as they go down to the magnet, so by raising them up, your 6ers may sit nicely in the 4-5" hole.

I'm also guessing that audio guru's would suggest using wood-based rings rather than plastic rings. I know I would! Dunno if you'd get any better sound pressure level by doing it, but I recken wooden rings wouldn't reverberate like plastic ones would.

i have fit pioneer pro series 6" splits in the stock rear pods of my s2 R33, just needed a thin baffel as only 3 screw holes lined up,

also had to remove the child restraint things so they would fin under covers. in my 4 door, 2 door rear shelf might be a bit different

As above... if you have the stock plastic pods already there, then I think it depends on what your car was optioned with? I wanted to replace my parcelshelf a while back and found a tonne of photo's from various r33's. None of them seemed to be the same! (and they were stock-looking)

I ended up making my own parcel shelf out of 12mm mdf and making my own holes in it for all the bits and pieces. As for the metal part (structural) of the parcel tray (under the wooden board), the holes are PLENTY big enough for 6.5" speakers. Probably even 6x9's if you really wanted to.

The only thing to worry about is the battery and any ABS unit (if any)... they may limit the mounting depth of your speakers. Measure it up first, eh? ;o)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
