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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
