cheers mate

how do u take out the back seat btw?

the parcel shelf is part of the body, I assume you mean taking off the cover with the speaker grills

to get at the cover and remove it you need to take out the back seat

first start with the bottom of the seat you have to remove the two bolts that are on the outside, it can get tricky after that as there are metal brackets that clip in on the inside of the seat, you kind of have to push the bottom seat while also pulling up, when you get it loose you will see what I mean.

the back of the seats have another two bolts that will be exposed when you get the bottom off, once the bolts are off then a case of pulling the back up and out

then unbolt the child restraints and the cover will slide out

nah i didnt mean the hole covers i ment the hole parcel shelf so that i could put in some 6x9s and some moulds

but thanks for the help on removing the seats mate looks like im gonna have to do it with the parcel shelf still in there

thanks for your help mate

no dramas,

hmm I'm interested to see how you go with 6x9's, I installed fusion splits in my old gtt but they were the same size as the factory units and from memory if you want to fit 6x9s you might have to widen the holes in the parcel shelf with a dremel and make custom brackets or drill holes, the factory units use a plastic bracket that screw to the shelf hopefully if you remove those the hole left behind will be big enough

when you get around to it you will see how the parcel shelf is part of the bodywork, I'm sure someone has done this before, just maybe need to search on the forum for examples

good luck though :)

cutting a rear deck for 6x9 is a defectable offense in SA, which would require lots of work to fix back to stock

plus 6x9 speakers dont sound as good as 6.5 inch in a decent brand anyway so why bother cutting the deck up?

my 2c

yea but if u go out and buy some speaker moulds u should need to cut nuffin because there would already be holes from the original speakers

i think the moulds look so much better than just the speakers sittin in the shelf anyways but thats my opinion

    • 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  
    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
