hey im new to all this fourm maadness and into the stagea community but i have some questions starting with the door panels i was wondering how to get all the door panels off if anybody had pics of how that would be most helpful. wanting to put new speakers in cause when i bought it came with blown speakers and its brutal driving a stagea with no audio and stock exhaust when im used to listening to a loud droney exhaust from my rx7. sorry for going off track just need some insight how to take off the door panels. thanks in advance!

This is for a S1, but I'm guessing it's the same......?????

Screws that need to be removed-

* bottom of the door card (3 from memory)

* under a cap in the door grab

* under a cap half way up, towards the front of the card

Carefully pry the surround off around the door handle latch and then carefully pull the door card towards you to release the clips and lift the whole card upwards to release it from the window ledge.

Once off, you'll need to disconnect the two plugs to the window switch and mirror switch.

Speaker removal should be pretty self explanatory after that.

Series 1 & 2 should be the same, there were minimal changes between them, and I don't think any of those changes would have applied to removal/replacement of the doors, door cards or speakers.

One thing to note...if you're installing splits...consider where you're going to mount your crossovers. depending on the size of the crossovers you can get away with mounting them on the door card (in the cavity that makes up the arm rest)

I have that issue at the moment....I've got a set of Boston SL60's in my car (Been in there for about 4 years now) and the crossovers are freaking huge...in the passenger door it's fine but on the drivers side I had to take out the case and cover in a anti static bag just to mount it (yeah it's ghetto...but it works)....I'm going to look at new set of splits that have a smaller crossovers so I keep them mounted in the door card

I have the same splits in my car, and I'm sure I still managed to get the driver's side crossover in the door somehow.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
