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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
