I need some help here, im actually a person with no knowledge on how to fix cars but do you have any DIY that can help me how to take off the car door so that i can install new speakers to my R33 GTSt?

What i did was i unscrewed the 2 screws at the bottom of the door and 1 screw from the middle door.

I losen the both sides and bottom but having a hard time trying to pull off the door which is the top part of it. Tried to pull it but heard some cracking sound.

I stop altogether worried i might break anything and thought i would be better off seeking help here first

Would be really great i can do it myself rather than getting people to instal them and i have to pay.

Thanks in adv.

drivers door: should be 3 screws at the bottom, and one in the bottom of the cupped handle piece.. remove those, and then remove the plastic backing to the opening handle (just pulls up and out on the rearmost side, and then pull the pull up the plastic piece that has the window controls/etc. unplug the well.. plug and then gently pull the door off, starting at the bottom, and the top will be hooked over the frame ov the door (its all little plastic push tabs, should come off with a little bit of force).

passenger door: essentially the same, except there is another screw under the grab handle, under a little tab... and you need to remove the window control for this side aswell.. the rest should be the same as above.

im not 100% sure i got every step there, may be one screw or osmething i missed, so just have a look, and if it wont come off when you pull, feel where the restriction is and check for screws there. if you still fail gimme a yell again and ill go check on my car, coz ive got both the skins off at the moment :P

Ahh!! I found the screw right behind the power window, ive already unscrew them and the top part did came out pretty easy.

Only problem now was the handle(to open the door together with the lock button) seems to be sticking the door with the skin.

Any ideas how to get them out?

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
