Hello there,

I am in the process of fitting new speakers in the back (16.5cm).

The speakers fit alright, but I might have trouble drilling holes for the screws holding the speakers.

Is there a way drilling proper holes without removing the rear window? (that I won't do)

The owner before me didn't bother and didn't fix the speakers at all .. (and that is not an option for me :D)

Cheers ...

If you get really stuck go to your nearest equipment hire place and hire a 90 degree offset drill. just like a normal drill but the chuck and hence the drill bit are offset 90 degrees to the body of the drill - great when you need to get into tight places

Hi there,

yes ... the offset drill came to mind :)

As for drilling from the boot I'll check that possibility but there seems to be

the battery holder in the way ..

(My battery is in the trunk of the car)

It's all very tight and no easy access.

Same goes for the cover that sits in the rear below the window.

It's snapped right and left to the sides of 2 plastic covers.

It was a pain to remove :P

Why did Nissan not just provide standard openings for the speakers?

Would have been so much easier :banana:

Cheer from London,

Im guessing coz its a car used more for driving then to listen to music in but yes i agree they should make it easier. I did a similiar job to my mates car if you can try and pull the battery out. If you can mark the holes properly you should be able to get a decent job

Alright ... I'll check in an hour ..

As for the car I agree, they had more the performance aspect in mind.

Nevertheless they fitted a 4 speaker system and added lots of weight by using electric windows / AC and other gimmicks.

I personally like the luxury aspect of my Skyline (without it I wouldn't have bought it :))

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
