I'm pretty sure you need to cut the parcel tray to fit 6x9's in the back. From my knowledge its a defect to do so, do you have subs in the car? If you do there's no need for 6x9's, get the 6 or 6 1/2" speakers for the back. 6x9's are better for more bass.

I had 6x9s in the rear of my R33 previously, they looked good and sounded great. I no longer need the speaker pods if you are interested let me know: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ra...19#entry4587019

or if you want it done for you like topic says then where are you located?

I still have these so I'm happy to pass them on for $25 the pair. They are sitting around in my way and would love to move them on to somebody that can find them useful. pm me

Don't get pods, they are ugly as.

I can sell you an already made parcel chelf and I can cover it with what ever you like leather, swade, carpet etc.

Basically, once you get the outline correct with the 3 mm MDF, you have to cut the holes in a 45 degree angle to best fit the standard holes.

DO NOT CUT into your parcel shalf.

After that, you go to clark rubber and get some 10mm thick rubber and glue it to the bottom of the 3mm mdf parcel shelf.

This will enable you to raise the speakers so they dont touch your parcel shelf and battery.

Then just fit it all in.

I am located in canberra if you need some help I'd be more than happy to give you a hand.

I've also got a parcel shelf, already cut with the holes and everything to fit an R33 GTS-T (3mm MDF with speaker holes cut out).

i dont know why people are coming up with all these ideas of cuttingthinngs custom things etc when all he wants is to mount his 6x9s?

The way i mounted 6x9s in a mates car,

-walked into autobarn bought some spacers which are simple 6x9 little things that match the colour of ur parcel shelf these were around the ~$10 mark for the pair

-Removed the old speakers, a couple screws pretty simple really

-Glued in the spacers to the parcel shelf(I didnt think this was the best idea, but they dont rattle at all and has some serious bass, also hasnt come loose in over a year!) this could probably be screwed in if u can b f*kd

-Screwed the new 6x9s into the freshly glued spacers(which have holes for screws), plugged in the wire that came out of the old speakers (alternative to this is run to an amp you have)

And finished, this may not be the most proffesional way, but it sure as hell beats the $89 he was quoted for less than 15 minutes work!!

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
