I had to fiddle with mine too, cause the speakers were blown when i bought the car. Take as many screws off as you can from the rear tray, entering from inside the boot. It's fiddly but you might be able to loosen a few screws/nuts.

The important bit it getting the parcel tray off as it will reveal the speakers and the screws holding them in. You just pull the back rest of the rear seat toward you, and slide your hands underneath the parcel tray, and you can pop it off. There's two clips toward the centre holding it down.

Hope that helps mate :(

take the rear seats out,

take the child restraints off + the bar thats placed over the speakers @ compliance which holds the child restraints, remove parcell shelf and its a piece of piss from there. Alot of the stock speaker housing are usually britall and broken from 10 years of sunlight and shit so be carefull, if you break it, youl be cutting a new one out of plywood.

+1, you have to take the entire back seat out... getting the bottom part up is going to be the hardest bit... the clips it sits in are a BITCH to work with...

also, my brackets were in great nick :P goes to show that a 10 year old car can be looked after :(

Yep back seat out, although its a bit easier in the 34 coz its bolts not clips to get the bottom of the seat out. child safety restraints off (why on earth to do they put them straight over the speakers anyway.) I have a crappy lookin parcel tray now coz its got a big hole thru each speaker grill.

I got the rear speakers out without removing the entire back seat :P It saves labour time if you just pull the back rest out and lean over it. If ur a shortass it might be harder.

Yeah I've done it before too, but to get to the bolts that hold that thing in, its easier if you take the bottom part out... I dont think mine is even bolted in anymore... I got so sick of taking it out all the damn time...

To be safe you should be taking the front seat belt bolt out and rear passenger Handle and popping off the 2 interior panels. especially the one that runs down to a point and meets with the parcel tray.

That part is very weak and snaps easily if you are trying to bend the parcel tray past it. Takes an extra 5 minutes

Some peoples cars do not all have the same parcel shelfs from stock.. mine was from stock so difficulty getting it out can vary.

guys, about those shild restraints, we're talking about the three bolt like thingys on the rear parcel shelf right, one through either speaker grill and the thirdin the centre...

do they have to remain there? is it illegal to remove them? i must say that they are pretty un-attractive and i dont plan on havin any kids in there any time soon

yes having no child restraints is a defect on the car. what you can do is remove them and just glue the plastic caps on so it looks legit.

hmm, ok now for the obvious question, why? i mean i cant for the life of me understand why removing them is cause for a defect?

It's what they call an ADR Australian Design Regulation. It states that all cars must have child restraint points.

The thing is that if you sold your car and the person that bought them had a child or had children and needed to harness a seat in and there is no restraint point i must say you'd be pretty P O'd then you have to go get one installed ...etc etc etc.

So really at the end of the day ... are they annoying enough for you to pull apart your rear parcel shelf to dismantle them... or just forget they are there and enjoy the POWAH of the skyline!!!!

they were annoying me enough to remove them because they were hard up against the speakers. left the middle one in though. that and im keeping all the bits to put back in if i ever sell the car.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
