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.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
