I'm getting a JVC mp3 head unit tomorrow (SX-KD985), but don't know what speakers to get for it. I'm thinking Pioneer 6" splits for now, and I'll fill in the rear parcel shelf later (it had some 5x7" Kenwoods which didn't fit properly and weren't bolted down so I took them out).

Can anyone suggest a good model of speaker to suit an R33? Series 1 if the extra velour has any effect on the sound :) I want a strong loud bass without distortion, I'll probably look at running a separate amp before too long. I'm trying to avoid the need for a subwoofer because I need all the boot space I can get.

Damn, just a bit too late to look for the Boston Acoustics :D I got some Pioneer TS-D160R's tonight with my JVC head unit. Got a pretty good price for both items, $390 for the head unit (RRP $539) and $260 for the speakers (RRP $320). Going to run the speakers off my old subwoofer amp (it's about 300W I think).

Focal splits are what I'd reccomend, they're sooo clear... I've got Alpine DD series in mine powered by a rockford fosgate amp. (Had to spend less on the speakers to get the amp)

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
