thanks. i'm really no good at these sort of things, my friend bought me some nice JL 6x9's for the rears. i had some boxed 6x9's which came with the car, those carozerria or whatever ones and thought that the new ones would pop in the hole. should've known that the hole size is still for 6". now im wondering if i should get him to exchange the 6x9's for 6". or modify it somehow.

yes same in vic u cannot cut the parcel shelf at all as it is supposedly a main structure in the car which supports the rear windscreen. If u wanna run the risk then do it but i'd just get pods made up from fibreglass, they don't look all that good but i wouldn't run the risk.

P.S. i was also told that you are allowed to cut the parcel shelf but the hole size i do not know and it must be further than 11 cm from the child restraint. (Dunno if thats tru, but thats of no help any way to your cause)

cheers,

Rom.

I had the same problems, but i have 7x10's and every audio shop i took it too refused to even try to install them (all afraid of a little hard work). But i eventually moved the hicas computer and slid them right in, there was about 3mm to spare between the speaker magnet and the battery fastner, but i am here to tell you it can be done

the hicas computer is easy to move.... it just unscrews then you can screw it down again on the base of the shelf.... i have no idea why the people at nissan designed the boot the way they did.... every other part of the car is made with the idea that people will add to it, but the boot just seems inefficient to me, especially the tiny speaker holes and the positioning of vital equipment (hicas and battery) directly benieth the speaker holes, when there are many other places that they could go.

Hi

I added 6 x 9 speakers to my R33 by making up an MDF spacer that went under the standard parcel tray, then traced that onto the underside of the tray, enlarged the ho;es for the stock speakers, and found that with a little careful positioning the standard grilles covered the new speakers.

Voila - stealthy 6 x 9's

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
