Hey guys was wondering if any one would be able to fabricate me a rear parcel shelf. I'm after one that has cut outs for four 6x9 speakers/grills. The one I have was botched when my last 6x9s went in (long story). I'm located in hawthorn east melb 3123. If anyone wants to give me a quote or discuss this further please let me know:)

I'm pretty open on price, but in saying that I'm also on a bit of a budget. I was thinking MDF as I thought that would give the best sound. Hadn't thought of alloy. Would that give any significant advantages?

Lighter I guess but I would just get a sheet of MDF, make a cardboard cutout then transfer it, cut the shape out and glue somethng onto it for a cover, perhaps with some padding underneath.

Remove the standard shelf, take off the carpet cover thing, cut a piece of 9mm MDF to it's exact shape, re-fit the vents etc, glue the carpet to the MDF, voila!

Depending on what 6X9's you want to fit will change the required thickness of the spacers. Did mine this exact way and looks exceptional.....

you could always make one up out of mdf & fibreglass n mould the spacers etc into it?

That would be ideally what I'd wanna do. But I'm very limited in my resources and space to do a project like that. And I'd pay through the roof I reckon to get something like that made in a shop.

Jigsaw, MDF, glue, basic hand tools and time. Large piece of thin foam and some screws if you want to secure it to stop it rattling....

That looks sweet, I'll have to get started making one of those myself as I've got some 6x9's coming in the mail for me this week. Any tips on making it fit, or would an exact template from the original shelf be fine? What thickness mdf did you use?

I used the exact cut-out of the factory shelf carpet, and re-fitted the stock vents and rear-wiper motor cover as in the pic. It's made of 9mm, tight fit but sturdy, you could use something thinner though...

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
