Hey Guys,

So ive picked up a bunch of alpine gear.

The following is what i got:

Alpine Sub Type X 12 inch

Alpine Amp MRV F345 (4 Channel)

Alpine Amp MRD M1005 (Mono Amp)

Alpine Headunit 7874EB (Yes its a bit old, but ive have it in my car already)

Basically what i want to do is get some good front speakers... i was thinking (Following the Alpine theme)

Alpine SPR-17S Type-R 6-1/2" Component 2-Way Speaker... Has anyone installed these into a R33 GTS T Door? Hows the mounting depth? From what ive seen on the forum the stock speakers are ~ 57mm. Where as these type Rs are 59mm. Would i need spacers? Are these more or less a drop in speaker upgrade?

I think i will disconnect my rear speakers and just have front/tweaters and sub going.

What do guys think?

easiest way is to remove the door skin and take out the old speaker and measure the depth. But I'm quiet sure they'll fit fine. extra 2mm shouldn't be an issue.

I have the older model SPR-17S 6.5" splits and they went in fine into a 32GTR. Although I had to make a custom mounting plate and trim the inside of the door skin a little bit to make sure they don't touch the speaker

you can easily fit the SPR-17S in the front of the R33 GTST, you do have to make a custom spacer though out of probly 18mm MDF as from memory you wont be able to fit the SPR-17S into the factory spacer.

Is this a difficult thing to do?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?

      I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.

      And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.

      From watching the 6 hour, it seems they've really got the class A2 Ford Mustang sorted, as it was cutting it up in lap times with he X1 cars, which are all those late model turbo BMWs. I have no real idea about either of them, but watching what was happening at the 6Hour, it made the Mustang which is meant to be in a slower class look very impressive.

      Also Mark, perfect timing for you to offer Fab9 to open an Aus branch for them, where you'll setup all the contracts that basically you're just the paperman, everything goes through Aus for their gear, and you can buy a piece of paper off of them once every 3 months that's really expensive. Tariffs aren't paid on exports after all. And for it, you'll just take 10% cut for your name on the papers. Oh, and a free NC intake setup and air box...
