mine are attached at the joint of the A pillar and the door trim, attached to the door trim. They are drilled in via a screw (the round kenwood tweeters. Was already like that when the car came over from Japan.

From what i have been told from the guys at westside, you want the tweeters as high as possible. Obviously where it doesn't look like shit, but base of the A pillar seems a popular choice. Have seen some real nice installs where the tweeters have a moulded cover over them to hide then and make the tweeter look more integrated as if it was stock

Thanks, I mounted them on that triangle behind the mirrors too.

got it done easily, I havn't had the time to disconnect the stock tweeters properly yet. so Right now I have 4 tweeters blasting at me. Heh Surprisingly its not really that noticable and still sounds great.

umm actually i think some of u guys have the wrong impression about sound installs ... tweeters that are placed high up aren't in the best possible spot ... the spot next to the A pillar is easy to do, i used to have mine there, but if u notice, depending on the tweeter, it can sound harsh to very harsh, and the seperation distance from the woofer would not offer you the best sound. however if you place your tweeter there and it sounds ok then i guess you shoudlnt' change it.

The best possible placing is to be as close as you can to the woofer, and also the speakers should be as far as possible to the listener which is why alot of professional installs get done in the kickpanel because thats really as far as u can get the front staging of the install to be. however its a big ask cause its very hard to do. So when i installed my sound system again when i had the skyline, i just cut a hole in the door panel and put the tweeter there, to me it sounded better cause the very high frequencies werent' so dominant anymore.

just my opinion. :(

I think having tweeters in the R33 range was a factory option.

My old series1 had factory tweeters, however, my series2 doesn't.

I was going to mount some tweeters in the factory location as I was doing a stealth install.But there is no space behind the A-pillar trim.The factory tweets are tiny thin.

I recently installed sme infinity componets in a friends R32 and mounted the tweets in the triangle behind wing mirrrors.I angled the tweets towards and sligtly up to the windscreen - ie.the tweets were pointing to the windscreen.

The result was bloody good, very good mid/high transition and a fantastic high soundstage that didn't sacrifice to much frequency seperation.

Normally I preach from the "keep tweets close to mids" gospal, but in this case I thought it sounded great.I would definatley recommend trying tweets in lots of different positions as it can make the music sound very different,so try an see what your ears like.

Hope this helps anyone else who is wondering about tweeter locations.

who are you asking?

if it is me, the tweets were fired across the wind screen, sorta like a reverse crossfire setup, so the music from the tweets was pretty even.A lot less biased to one side compared to having them pointing to occupants.

That article is extremely infomative, great for people wo are starting to get into car audio hard out.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
