hey everyone.

i was jus wondering if any could answer me wat is the best way about installing some 6x9's into my r32 gtst? I have just purchased some kenwood 6x9's and am not sure wat dimension spacers they may need and if the room in the back is goin to be affected by the rear window. How would i go about fittin these?

What the fu(k, no you dont.

I think if people on here that dont do it for a living, or havent done it before should be careful what they say!

jesse_r : Go to your local audio shop, they will be able to supply 6x9 spacers for about $35 for singles, $50 for doubles, carpeted. You may need singles or doubles, depends on the speaker.

Maybe have the factory speakers out before you go so they can suss out the best spacer

To take the speakers out, remove the horizontal part of the back seat by pulling up very hard. Now remove the verticle part, two 10mm (or 12mm, I forget) bolts either side. Now push it straight up, there are upward facing hooks holding it on.

Now the tray can be removed, its just clipped down.

Remove the factory speaker grilles (screwed onto the tray)

Remove the factory speakers and put it all back together.

Now, screw the speaker onto the spacer (outside the car)

Put the spacer and speaker into the hole, line it up so it looks straight

Go in the boot, pulling down on the magnet, or get a mate in the car to push down on the speaker, screw into the spacer from underneath. 2 or 3 screws is fine.

Extend the factory wiring making sure to get the phasing correct.

Remove the rear screen? pffft.

I hope you mean me haha

Seriously, no problem at all eh! Thats what these forums are for!

Did you consider taking out the rear window? :(

Remove the rear window???

VERY GLAD I DIDN'T DECIDE ON REARS NOW :wassup:

Good luck with it dude

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
