Thanks Adam. All 4 speakers *sounded* OK.

What do you mean exactly by checking the polarity. I assume neither the negative will have 100% continuity to earth/chassis, nor would the power have 100% 12-14v when measured to chassis/earth?

I normally use an AA battery; positive on the battery to positive on the speaker will push the cone out, positive to negative will pull the cone in.

As AAT said; just a quick touch on the leads, so you don't damage the voice coil.

you got it thats what i do when you r at the headunit. but if you r at the speaker you cant do it so you use a multimeter but your right i do about 6 headunits a day battery works great

speakers will never be 12 to 14v and the raido swaps power down both wires usually around 1.5v so one wire could be .5v and the other earth then it might swap depending on what sound it needed to make thats why all speakers have + and - you might not notice it strait away but try something reeeely bassey and if you hear puck puck puck instead of doof doof swap the wires

that bit's cool, the + and - are clear on the speaker. I just don't know about the car's loom. Should I just check continuity to earth from each wire?

Lol, yeah; I normally do it from the head unit end of the speaker wiring, that way you know you've got it right.

I don't think testing speaker wiring to earth will work.

OK they all sound good....to be honest I thought a backwards doof would sound like food :teehee:

Star33...I did not replace the a piller speakers, I was only replacing the door ones because they had phyiscally died...was not really after the ful sik-est sounding car around.

Hahaa food na you don't check them to earth you put the multimeter on volts and put the two wires on the meter to the two wires for the speaker and it should say on the meter witch is witch

Series 2 drivers door trim should have about 3 screws across the bottom, one under a cap mid door under the controls, one in the pocket. The door handle/lever trim will pop out with a carefully placed screwdriver under the lever surround near the front. From memory the controls with also pop out with a carefully placed flat screwdriver but I would removed the other screws and there should be enough play to remove the loom plug without removing the controls.

It has been so long since I did it that I can't remember all the steps. I presume there should be more detailed instructions in the DIY section or if it fails then look in the general DIY section. The search button is your friend, make sure you have a search since it will almost certainly have been covered before.

the window switch just pops out. can use a knife or flat screw driver.

might be a screw under the black button thing too, the cover will just pop off.

the panel itself just clip on. grab it at the bottom corner where the speaker is and pull gently to unclip them, then just work your way around the rest of them,

maybe a screw in the handles too.

It is.

By the way, when people say 6" or 6.5", they mean the same thing. Depends on how pedantic the person saying it is.

I totally went out and bought 6.5" went to chuck them in the front and they were still too small! so I was like what the heck.. and thought well I might as well still get use out of them and put em in the back.

Took off the back door panels and... turns out you're supposed to have brackets in the front..
So who ever thought it was smart to remove the front brackets or adapter things just made me have to run off to a parts place who had a stagea. Got there but there was only one front door so tried taking the bracket thing off and gave up after stripping the screws ://. 
Ended up finding some old Primera there and taking their brackets and just hoped they'd fit as they look the same in shape (they weren't >.<) The holes were a little too close together but I made it work!

And........ the front right speaker doesn't seem to wanna work after all of that. Maybe the wire is loose at the back of the head unit...

Oh! and does anyone know how to unclip those damn connectors that are used for the window switches and just about every other thing on this car!?!?! Driving me nuts.

 

FYI: This is how a 16 year old kid approached this situation :D

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
