Hey all,

I have a 95 Skyline 2Dr. I am looking to install an amp, splits and 6 x 9 speakers for the rear. I have this stuff already b/c I took it out of my old car(written off). Anyway I want to put 6 x 9 in the rear, I have had look at the rear parcel shelf and there is not much room to play with. If I put spacers in, the speakers come close to the rear window? What thickness should I have for the spacer? Also for Splits at the front where did you install the tweeter? Anything I should know(tricks or problems)? I am going to install the amp next to the battery. This will be a tight fit. How have you all installed the amp and where? Any pics would be great of splits, amp and 6x9.

Hints would be great as well.

If i cant get the 6x9 in, I will put splits in.

Please help guys.

I made a new parcel tray for my R33, just took out the current one, traced it onto 18mm MDF, cut this out and shaped the edges to fit in, then ran another layer around the speakers only! so efectively 36mm spacers!

I have then fibreglassed over the 2nd spacer to created smooth transition!! looks ok just have to put a material over it!!

hint with tweeters, just keep them close the woofer, haven't installed my splits in the front yet, but in my lancer had them sitting in the tray/pocket in the door, so they were hidden but still faced up for good sound! PLUS i didn't have to put a hole in the trim!!

forget about 6x9's in the back ... spend big on splits on the front ... get a good sub ... thats all u really need ... unless u want a bit of rear fill ... then just buy something that fits and is cheap .. thats just my recommendation ... and u're going to also have a hard time findin speakers that fit the front as well ..

Yep, I agree with hippy, forget the 6x9's, swap them or sell them and get a sub.

It'll be heaps less work, and sound way better.

If your amp wont fit next to the battery, screw a piece of MDF to the cover that goes across it. Then mount you r amp on it.

Looks pretty neat and is easy to get to. Also allows plenty of ventilation for cooling, (even though you should really mount them horizontally).

A pre fab sub box is not as flash as a full install, but does the job, and can be taken out to make more space.

I dont want to buy a sub and take up all my boot space.

Anyway I installed 6 X 9 speakers in the rear parcel quite easily and the parcel shelf still looks original. I just changed the carpet on the shelf.

To put 6X9's in you must get some 19mm mdf or chip board. Then you have to cut out a square a little bit bigger than the 6 X9 template. Then you put the wood on the shelf and see where else you have to cut the wooden spacer and screw it in. Once co,mpleted the original shelf must be carpeted because the 6X9 speakers sit on an angle. I think this was a good alternative if you dont want a sub and the shelf still looks original with vents.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
