Hi guys,

I just got myself an R33 - and I am loving it!!

I want to install a pair of rear speakers, but am a little confused!

I have attached 2 photos with what the situation looks like back there and there seems to be these 2 black brackets, that (to me) don't appear to be doing anything?

Can you guys let me know what they are for? Could I just remove them to install my speakers?

What else would I need to do to put a pair for 6 inch speakers there?

Thanks!

Just found out...child restraints or something....grr..ok need to remove them and everything to get some speakers in there :(

I'm having the same issue, I would leave them in because it is technically a roadworthy issue. I found out today that not many aftermarket speakers will fit under there......But if you mount the speakers from the boot and screw them in from the boot they will have no clearance issues with child restraints.......what a prick of a place to put them ey......

your ADR rules say 3 baby bolts, funny how in the fark would you fit 3 kids in that car with prams and car seats.. idiot rules even 1 kid would be a tight fit. with my seat all the way back , they would pull my hair out while driving..lol

but if your clever you can mod it to look like they are funtional in a much better spot minus the bracket . just return it to the way it was if you sell it. so you dont get hit with a lawsuit from a child death . disclaimer take this path at your own risk, not responsible for defects or injury from someone using it

funny enough the r31 built in oz had holes for bolts but not the attachment points installed. pure proof how bad they fark with jap imports on compliance.

the monekys that did my car killed my alpine DD speakers and grills with the brackets. on compliance. and then didnt bother hooking the speakers back up since they crushed the cones sideways with brackets. muppets had no farking idea.!!!! alpines went to the bin

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
