I'm sure this has been covered before in a previous thread but I couldn't find anything so here goes...

I've just got a decent Sony head unit in my R32 but the stock speakers, god bless their 20w power - simply aren't up to the job! No being a unique size, 6"x4" - whats the done thing when it comes to speaker upgrades?

I am thinking just a pair of 6" cones or a split system up front and the same or 6"x9"s up the back. Is this set up do-able considering the stock speakers are such an odd size? Is there a better / easier set up that other people have done?

Any ideas / suggestions would be great...

Cheers

Copied from a previous post I made

You can buy an aftermarket 6x4" speaker but I'd highly recomend getting 6" to fit. Even better, go for 6" components.

Remove the factory spacer and with a bit of paper/cardboard mark out the area around where the spacer used to be overlapping onto the metal enough to be able to screw it onto the door. Also you need to mark out where your 6" hole will be so it wont touch any metal.

Use MDF about 12mm thick. Also, before you screw it onto the door, spray paint it so moisture doesnt get to it and make it expand.

Remember also that more often than not when the system is struggling it 's the amplifier you're hearing struggling rather than the speakers.

If you're planning a speaker upgrade you might want to consider an larger external amplifier to provide more clean power to them than the headunit's comparitively small internal amplifier can provide. :P

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
