So, has any one else done this?

these were done to the car before i got it. Had some Cheap ass Sony 110W 2 way speakers in there.

Replaced them with some Alpine type s about 6 months ago. When i pulled them out the hack job was poor at best...

Looks like they used tin snips and a hammer to get enough room. Had the speakers screwed straight to the panel.

Disconnected the factory rear speakers and installed a stupidly large twin 15"sub box which you had to slam the boot to get it to close..
( I took that out when i got home. it weighed 65kg )

I connected the factory rears up and they worked fine.

So all in all the guy was stupid.


I've kept it as it was and The quality is fairly good, minimal vibration, but a pain in the ass if you ever take any one in the rear etc. :no:

Considered taking them out, replacing the panels etc. But the damage to the body is already there so may as well use it.


Not really any questions here, just more of a general, Check out this crap.

If you do have any suggestions etc I'd like to hear it.



( I apparently dont have any better photo's showing it with the speakers in.... )

Hi I am glad that no one did that to my car, someone had installed a large amp & Bass speakers that took up 1/2 the boot space.

Luckily it was easy to remove, & reset back to original.

Yes i have done this to a previous 34 , used Speaker spacers ,as no one sat in the back . We put Rockford Prime 6x9 running off the Headunit . very punchy sound ,Usually you go to a 6x9 from a 6 if you want more punch over clarity and dont want a sub . Going 6 x9 in the back and a sub in the boot ??? not really cricket .

They fit nicely by the looks of it. Might grab some new rear trims and swap mine over..

Couldn't afford rockfords at the time

: (

Between the subs and the 6x9s

The bass was unbelievable. No clarity at all, it was horrible.

I tried mucking around with the amp setting and head unit setting etc. Couldn't get it any better...

Parcel tray is a good place to put them also ,you may need to add some sound deadening to boot ,Alpine Type S components are dearer than Rockford Prime components .The Type s should give good clarity if you tune them a bit ?.Put all your Headunit setting in the middle and back the gains off the amp as a starting point .

.. I got rid of the subs and his 6x9s.

I got these Alpines for cheap as because they were the last set.

I have no issues now, got it all set up perfect .

There was no helping what was in it.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
