What is the factory size of the speakers in the front and back.

what direct replacements can I get.

if no direct replacement, can I get some speakers to replace them without too much mods to doors and parcel tray?

thanks

I cant remember what size the originals were, but it wasn't hard at all to get new ones in there. The hole in the door is big enough to get just about any speaker in there.

My 32 had a plastic mount that screwed onto to metal part of the door to hold the factory speakers in. All I did was unscrewed that off, and made up my own mount / surround for my 6 /12" Alpines out of like 3mm wood (dont know what type... just soft crap) and they hold in there perfectly.

Door trims go back overtop with the factory speaker grills... Wouldn't even know they were there...

My rear speakers are 6" coax's and they fit in there perfectly but the screw holes didnt match up, so I used a soft glue like hot glue to stop rattling and could only screw it in with 2 screws.

I'm not that well informed with speakers.

what do I want for the front and back.

2 way?

3 way?

which ones go where?

I just want something better than factory so I might even just buy cheapo sony speakers.

don't want a sub.

I need an amp I guess so for these 4 speakers, do I want a simple 4 channel amp?

The deck I am looking at states 208watts.

4 x 50 or something.

do I need an amp with that?

I'm not a big loud stereo fan.

just want to be able to hear music over exhaust and open windows without buzzing or distorsion.

Cheaper the better so what do you all recommend?

Double check the holes in the front as I can't remember whether they are 5 x 7 or 6 x 4. Either way JBL make small oval speakers - see below

The 5 x 7 set are supposedly pretty good for the price.

Any reasonably priced 3way 6.5in speaker should fit the bill for the rear. Just have a listen in the shop.

The 208w deck is enough if you don't require thumping levels of sound. Just make sure the factory Skyline front & rear amps are by passed as they suck terribly. Just run new speaker cable from the deck straight to the speakers.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
