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.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
