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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
