Ok so im planning my new install on my R32 GTS-t and just wanted the heads up on any trouble that anyone may of experincied in the past so i can plan ahead. Im planning on running a Pioneer 5750 HU with Pioneer components in the front doors replacing the stock speakers. I have another set of splits that im going to put into the rear parcell shelf. I have 2 MTX Thunders that i was thinking of using, can't decide if i want to run both in one box, 1 in a sealed box, 1 in a tube or two in the existing sub box, 2 in 1 tube or 2 in seprate tubes??? I plan on installing my new amp and hear that you either have to bypass the old amp or run new speaker cables, whatever is easiest i will do, but as im thinking of running the front splits of the head unit i dont see that as being a problem at all. Anyway just after anyones advice on the general install, how to and where to install and what you used for it in general?

Cheers GMB

U cant get anything bigger than a 6" speakers in the fron doors. ( in there stock hole anyway)

A little hard getting wires throught the file wall. but not 2 hard, nothing a coat hanger cant fix.

That's about all i have to say about problems I had on my install.

as madtrang said the main problem is running cable throught the firewall, but its not that bad.

You'll need to make up some MDF mounting plates for the fronts. Just use the stock ones as a template.

I just ran new wires to all the speakers and bypassed the factory amp.

As for subs, it depends on how much boot space you can afford to lose. I need to fit a set of golf clubs in mine so I've got a small sealed box between the shock towers.

Head unit is pretty easy, just get the right wiring diagram off the net. I had to drill new mounting holes in the factory cradle to make my head unit sit flush with the a/c controls.

Let me know if you need any more help as I just finished my install last weekend.

No prob's with getting cables through the fire wall, im used to doing the impossible, apprentice sparky by trade :headspin:

As for not getting anything bigger than 6" in the fronts isn't exactly right as we got a pair of 6X9's in my mates R32 no probs, but yes it did take modification of the existing speaker holes, nothing to drastic though. :)

Where abouts you find the wiring diagram for the install and do you have a diagram for the amp bypass at all?

Hmmm ive got 6 1/5" splits in my front doors, and they fit pretty good..

Wiring diagram? What for... Multi meter finds waht you need..

If you can avoid running the front splits off the head unit and amp them do that, becuase if your gonna have the subs in there, you want the power to your speakers to keep up with the bass. If anything, dont amp the rears, as they are just for fill.

Ive Installed my stereo in and out of my skyline and old cars heaps... so if you have any Questions Just PM me...:cheers: Good luck

hmmm on my r32 i was able to fit 6 by 9s without any body mods just made up mdf backing.... only problem you would have is with clearance behind... depending on the mounting depth.... mine were like 78mm so they fitted up fine but i had to use 18mm and they cleared the windows but door trim wouldnt go on... if they were like half a cm smaller should have been able to fit them on problems... so it would depend on the size

but then again 6.5 inches speakers are way better

gotta do my install this wkend

amp wiring can come through the drivers wheel well. there is a body grommet inside it that will allow a decent sized cable through it.

SO does that mean your running the cabling outside underneath the car?

here is the link for the wiring diagram.

you don't need a diagram to bypass the stock amp, just run new wires from your head unit/amp to your speakers.

Is it worthe ripping out the old amp while im doing it?

I didn't bother ripping out the old amp cos it wasn't in the way of anything I was doing. I guess you could take it out if you really wanter to save an extra kilo.

And with the cables, no don't run them under the car, just under the carpet. That grommet Chris Rogers is talking about ends up on the inside above the accelerator pedal.

don't bother with speakers in the rear if it's a GTS-t. They're not necessary and you'll save money.

The only reason i was going to put them in is cause i got em and there jsut sitting there but your right, you dont need them. Set of components up front with twin 10" MTX Thunders in the boot should do for now :headspin:

Anyone got pics of the boot install with there sub box at all, after looking at the minimal room and height it limits your options and was wondering what everyone else had done to over come this? Post em up so i can get some idea's or just throw your ideas this way :rolleyes:

personally, after listening to my system in the car after a week or so, I'd still greatly prefer a couple of speakers for rear, even if they are very basic and not high end ones. The sound appears to come much more "around" you, and I like that effect.

Just like at home I prefer 4 speakers powering my music at the one time.

I was thinking the same thing pred and the way i see it i already have the speakers so i may as well throw them in there and make use of them!!!

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
