Currently I have no audio in my car, so going to install a new system in the next a few weeks or so, but I've got a few questions.

1. What is the stock front speaker size in a 32GTR? And what is the biggest size I can install without stuffing around too much.

2. Going to install coaxial front and rear, since I couldn't be bothered drilling hole for splits and mounting the cross over. So what is the best 2 way coaxial

on the market money can buy?

hey man, um with the size of the speakers in the gtr im not too sure. but just get urself some spacers made up, they are REALLLY easy to make and this way u can fit wat ever size speakers u want, preferably 6.5"

with the "best coaxial" on the market try post this in http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au. um also because audio is a very subject and personal choice might be best to go and hear some speakers urself at an audio store. this way u can judge urself what speakers are better.

I ended up putting in some 5 inch co-axials in the front ( I think they are 5inch). I just made a little spacer out of some MDF to mount them. throw out the old plastic speaker mount thing and just make one up out of some mdf. easy, and no need to cut up the door trim or grill. for the rear I just slotted in some 6inch co-axials (i think 6 inch, may have been 6.5). either way it's pretty easy.

no idea what are the best money can buy is, but if you are willing to spend up decent coin maybe just get some splits? it's not that much more effort to mount the cross over and tweeter. I really like boston accoustics and have enjoyed their splits very much in previous cars, but listen to some speakers and choose some you like.

As Chris said, but Im running Alpine Type R 6.5 coaxial up the back, and the same in 6.5 splits at the front with a spacer (easy work)

Theres a template in this section somewhere for this.

Speaker choice will come down to personal preference and type of music you mainly listen to.

But I personally love mine, and I havn't even got around to sound deadening yet.

awesome!. Thanks for the input guys. :)

Its not so much mounting the crossover that bothers me, rather positioning the tweeters so they can produce overall package. Being down that road in my previous car, but didn't really sound good with tweeters mounted on the door. ;)

yeah I can unserstand that. the tweeters really need to be mounted high and foward I think to get good sound.

in that case just go for something similar to what I did. it's not earth shaking, but I just wanted something for long drives and the main thing was it had to be lightweight, so no amps, and speakers as small and light as possible.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
