Hey everyone.

During compliance on my R34 skyline they put child restraints in through the stock speaker covers, I figured it was no biggie till i tried to take the cover off to change the speakers..

Ive taken out the bolt that held the child restraint on but the cover is still stuck down on all four corners. What is the likelyhood it is glued and how would u suggest i get them off?

Tried cutting along the edge of the bottom of the covers but its too damn tight so the blade doesnt fit (parcel shelf and speaker cover). I also have no idea how or if i can take the parcel shelf off.

Its really starting to bug me cause the speaker is rooted and i cant do anything about it :(

How do you remove the rear trims to access the parcel tray? The rear seat is easy enough but I'm a bit hessitant about ripping out trim parts without knowing what I'm doing :blush:

side trims

remove the seats first of course

a gentle even tug will reveal , they pop off in your hands, go slow and work around the edges, snaps back in with a light tap with your palm . can't remember if you have to take out the seat belt bolt or not but you will see it if you do?

Thanks, I will brave it on the weekend :blush: Does anyone know if the front speakers are the same as the rears? My rears are stuffed and I'm thinking of putting the fronts in the rears and putting in a set of splits into the front.

not so important to remove the side trims,

iv just done my whole system and didnt remove the trims

the trims tend to sit in the pacel shelf... so u can push down on the sides

and slide it forward

thats just how i did it, but each to their own :P

gl

p.s if ur gonna swap front speaks to rear...might as well upgrade

my 33 has the child restraint welded in a way that it doesnt allow me to remove my speaker covers. wasnt too happy when i discovered it but at least they still work. ill take to it with a grinder when the day comes for replacement. have a look under your shelve via the boot to see how they may have mounted the restraints.

Yes, R34 front speakers are 6" and tweeters can go in the factory spot or on sail panels (the place the mirror mounts are) unless you want some custom spots.

R34 have a fair bit of room for deep 6" unless you go for some exotic brands like Morel

Well I had success with the parcel shelf, probably will get some decent 2 ways to replace them with.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question as I haven't taken off my front door trims yet, but where are the factory spots for the tweeters?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
