Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has put Alpine SPR-17S 6.5 Inch's in the rear parcel shelf of a r34 sedan. Also where did you mount the tweeters?

Also what else would fit straight in without any mods?

Cheers guys.

I know they not alpine but i have fusion 6 1/2 speakers in the parcel shelf of my car. I almost cut the parcel shelf but in the end i had a bit of 12mm mdf board sitting in the shed and made a custom parcel shelf for it and it looks alot beter that the standered parchel shelf. Ill take sum photos of my setup and post them up for u

even better leave the speakers out, and put twice as good speakers in the front were YOU sit.

i hate having the sound coming from behind me. but thats just me, depends how much u really like your passengers.

agree

the rear speakers are for fill if you want it to sound good ???, unless you run 5.1 dolby you dont need separates out back.R34 are too small inside to need rear speakers in most cases.

I have some 6.5 alpine coax in the rear and separates up front , but if you insist you can fit tweeters under the grills on the rear deck, just be creative and you might need to remove the housings to fit flat under grills.

money better spent on good fronts with proper sealing around and behind them, Dyno mat in doors or similar.

hey,

ive just started doing my 34 with audio (and i bought it 2 weeks ago HAH!)

i've so far got alpine 6" type-r's in the back (had to get new covers for the parcel shelf as the harness mounts FKED mine up...), and the 6.5" type-r's are going in the front when i get a spare weekend to do it :blink: just gotta wait for next pay cheque to buy amps+sub hehehe

x2 n no rear speakers, or at least dont spend big, ive got some pioneer splits in the back (with soundstream fulsh mount tweeters next to the covers, looks cool :D) butttt in saying that ive got it faded about 80-90% to the front for optimum sound. (Got splits in the front too) so unless ur a brand whore dont go spending big amounts on rear speakers that will never be used to their potential, a set of $100 3-ways will do the job just fine.

i've got those alpine ones in the rear of my car.. for fill, but if your going to keep the kenwood ones put the better speakers in the front, cause that's where you will want the better speakers all the time.. and if it comes to getting better speakers like 6.5 splits chuck them in the front and move the alpines to the back!!! :O

i would just keep the better speakers at the front hehe

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!

      OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
