Those plastic speaker holder thingies only hold 5 or 5 1/4" speakers.

I pulled mine out (the plastic things) and threw them in the bin and put in a set of 6's.

You need to make or buy a pair of wooden spacers though.

I got mine from JB Hi Fi for about 9 bucks.

This will make the speakers sit in the right spot (so your windows don't hit them) and make it sound heaps better.

this is incorrect!

they might hold sixes,

now that I think about it mine may be 6 and a half's?

regardless

if your speakers don't fit in, pull those plastic pieces of shit out!

and wood spacers WILL make it sound better anyway!

Everyone has a different opionion to what size the speakers are. The rear shelf speakers on a series 1 R33 are definately 6.5 inch (I actually installed them myself). I havent got round to installing the fronts yet but I would assume they're the same size (judging by the size of the hole). It'll take about 20 minutes to take the door panel off, measure the stockie speaker, put the panel back on, and go down to the nearest car audio place and get the size that fits.

Geez, didn't take much!! :cool:

I dont know, but I reckon the fronts would be 6.5s.

I put 6s in the rear but they needed spacers. This was a ridicuolously annoying task! Wood is better for this because its stronger than plastic. The speakers wont transfer as much energy through the wood, which means they are more likely to convert the power delivered into actual sound rather than movement and rattles. Basically the stronger the mount/enclousure, the better the sound.

    • I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.
    • Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.  
    • A is the HICAS CU.  As far as I know, there are no other modules located at A in a car with HICAS, so it is fair to presume that F is the variable power steer module for non-HICAS cars. Same location, give or take. Makes sense - the wiring loom for the HICAS cars has the speed signal, power, solenoid drive, etc wires all present there - so why move the module and have to upend the wiring loom?   Having said the above though, it may be the case that F is further down in the rear guard - it's hard to tell. In which case it may be something else. Yes, it is the multi-pin plug next to the under dash fuse box. Top left corner. Can't miss it. Be very careful though - use insulated probes to poke around in there so  you don't accidentally short 12v to ground or an ECU input etc etc.
    • They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.
