Hi Guys,

hopefully someone can answer this fairly quickly,

i need to replace my rear speakers, and i was wondering how to get the grills off, i am hoping you don't have to remove the whole rear parcel shelf.. how does it remove anyway, assuming the rear seats are already removed, does it just clip on?

thanks guys

I've got some pics I took when I took out my parcel shelf in my gtst - same as a gtr?

I got cranky trying to get the parcel shelf out and snaped both ends. There are 2 white clips you can see in the above photo that you need to deal with to remove the shelf.

Be careful on each edge of the parcel shelf (I think you have to push down at the edges to do it properly - I just pulled and ripped it out).

Hi Y0880,

Since the last photo was useful I edited one of the ones I took of the rear seat with parcel shelf removed . You will notice there is yellow where the teeth Akeenan mentioned are - from memory it looks like a tiny single fin from a surf board. This goes into the parcel shelf where I have circled with yellow - if you look hard you'll notice that the slot on mine has been ripped.

The two red circles are where the two white clip type things are. After removing the back seat I got my fingers under the parcel shelf near the middle and pulled it up which worked... maybe there is a better way?

good luck with it, hope it helps you and other people.

Can you repost those pix, they've been removed from the server...

Wouldn't mind getting a look as sometime I'll have to remove the same to install some new speakers in..don't want to stuff the parcel shelf and have to build a new one (time/money) :P

Well,

Pulled the parcel shelf out finally today, and it was a little different to your pics, basically there where a few metal wire clips holding it at the rear (near the bottom of the glass), two bolts for a child restraint anchor point, and two fins from the plastic cover on the C pillar that went into the rear parcel shelf..

Got most of the shelf off, but couldn't for the life of me get the right corner out.. finally after a bit of tugging it came out, but i managed to rip the thin bit of parcel shelf off at the back behind the breather grills.. so have to work out a good way to stick them back on..

So's life :P

Ok, i'll put those pics back up now.

Those metal clips near at the rear didn't seem to do anything so when putting it back i didnt bother with them. I guess the guys that did the compliance work with the child restraints didn't bother with them either.

You ripped the parcel shelf like I did with those fins :) Its a bastard of a thing especially with this hot weather + the frustration that builds up over something as trivial as this.

Good luck with your parcel shelf predator666, see if you can get the it off without ripping it.

yeah, it doesn't look too bad though, didn't rip the carpet completely off so hopefully when i add some sound deadener it will hold things together..

I know what you mean about frustration.. it isn't as bad as other cars i have worked on (Holdens are probably the worse so far), but hours in cramped confines never helps :)

i will post up some pics when i get it back all together, probably a few days away yet though..

hehehe...well i will give it a good try! But I need some rears to fit in first before I get the willpower up to try and take it out... much as it sucks, just going stockie speakers for now through my new face unit 'till i can get some nice ones. Thinking alpine.

I put some pioneer speakers in for the rear. I also had to remove the stock rear speaker mounts and make my own because the speaker screw holes didn't match up to the aftermarket speaker.

You will also have to do something similar to me out of MDF if you want your future alpine or whatever speakers to fit.

Happy New Year.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
