6x9 don't fit in the front, despite all my effors. Put 6.5" in front on mine. Mange to fit 7x10 in the back on mdf, with out modifiying the parcel tray. It just clears the window.

Yeah make all your mounts on MDF, cus it won work other wise. Well depends how much metal u might want to cut in some instances.

I've just tried to fit 6.5" speakers to the front doors of my R32 and they won't fit behind the factory grille.

Are there any tricks I might have overlooked?

They are 62mm deep plus they need 14mm clearance in front to clear the suuound, 76mm total depth. There is 68mm between the window mechanism and the top edge of the factory grille so they are 8mm too big.

How deep are the 6.5" speakers that people on here have fitted successfully?

How are you mounting the speeaker? Are you just mounting thwem to the metal door? I would suggest using 18mm mdf as a backing board then putting the speaaker onto that. Dont worry about putting the speakers speaker grill on it.. not needed when it is being proteected by the door grill. Give that a try, you will find it will work. Heck, if i can fit a 4inch and a 5.25 inch in a 4inch speaker fitment, anything can be done.

Thanks for your reply.

I made a baffle and mounting ring to fiberglass at the correct angle with the speaker magnet as far back as possible but when I checked the clearances by refitting the door trim the top edge of the factory grille touched the speaker surround which needs 8mm of clearance during operation. The space is physically 8mm too small for this speaker to fity behind the factory grille.

"The R32 skyline will happily take 6" speakers in the front doors."

Not my 160GTs but then they're 6.5s" I don't regret my choice of driver. I'll make it fit. Then again if I have to make a custom buildout I may as well fit my MW170s.

I just wanted to know how other people have approached this job in the R32s.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      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.
