Well I am now upto the parcel shelf part of my install and I've got a few idea's floating around but just wanted to see what everyone else has done, what works and what doesn't

Since gay compliance people put a massive hole in my standard speaker grille that is now out of the option, would have been nice and easy to tuck a 6.5" speaker under there, would have looked neat and standard as well

I've had the idea to recut a parcel shelf out of some thicker wood, MDF, something around 18mm would be ideal I would say, cut the holes for the speakers and recarpet it with the same colour carpet as the standard shelf. Mount the speakers straight onto the shelf it self and use the speaker grilles provided to make it look neat

Would this work?

Only issue I can think of is the mounting of the parcel shelf, no idea how that would work as the standard one is held in by clips..

Feel free to post any other ideas or pictures of installs you may have

Car is an R33 GTR and speakers are FOCAL 6.5" 165AI

Thanks

haha I will get some tomorrow man

I made 19mm spacers out of MDF and they screw into the same as the factory plastic speaker pods did, cut the parcel shelf out so the speakers poke through a little as they are lager than facotry and will be using the standard speaker covers

Look stock, 6.5" speakers clear the factory shelf.. nice!

Did you cut into the parcel shelf at all?

I got a massive defect from the previous owner cutting space in my parcel shelf to fit 6x9's.

Had to get it fixed and then an Engineer Cert, cost me a pretty penny considering I have 2 holes there now since i haven't replaced the speakers.

Hope you don't have to go through this.

      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.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
