Hey ppl i'm planning to install pioneer 6x9 into rear of my r32? I just wanna know if it's easy? Will I need spacers? As I have searched and find anything on this.

Cheers

Yep pretty easy install & yes you will need spacers!

rebuild teh rear shelf and knock up a set if 25mm rings then re-carpet the lot in the factory colour. I'll see if Ican dig up a shot of one I did a few years back.

start here

that is the car I did a couple of years ago. shelf is 9mm mdf with 16mm rings. if you position it right then you will not need to cut anything.

I left a lot of shots out as well. nothing special on the amp- 4 screws in the corners. bear in mind I do this for a living as well.

the shelf is a direct copy of the original and the only thing I left out were the rear vents. if youare going to do this : copy the shelf first, mark all the holes in it and put a centre mark in the speaker holes. make a jig out of the 6x9 cutout that came with the speakers and use the centre mark that you made earlier to line the 6x9 up.

from there copy the 6x9 gril/templatel onto a bit of 16mm MDF. glue/screw/carpet and fit it all into place.

ditto on what Chris said. nice job too in those pics.

i did same/similar on my old r31. except bit more space to work with in r31 4dr. not sure if rear window angle same.

i used 18mm mdf for solid mounting. measured eveything up allowed 2mm extra 4 h/duty carpet i used, drew lines where

window taper, belt holes were then went to play with my jigsaw :).

went the 18mm so no thought of spacers/rings, but kenwood 7*10's had them anyway. very very snug fit, but take time and a few test fitments all good. and omg, all the rubber seals on that car were like new (20yr old car), 7*10 were perfect for that boot volume/capacity.

got asked sooo many times how big my sub was :) LOL! Big time when i showed them had none!

with the 4ch amp, i cut piece of mdf same size, made some slots/grooves then mounted it under ther parcel shelf in boot.

this allowed me to still use split rear seat, clear the boot springs under the shelf and load the boot up full to the brim without touching the amp or wiring. would r32/r33 have same bit of space to work with?

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
