I'm keen to hear any thoughts people have on how to get the best quality sound in the front of an R33. I'm keen on maintaining a standard appearance, so no kick panels etc. Will be putting the midwoofers in the standard door location (although if there's a good way to mount them so they don't get muffled by the door trim i'm all ears) and the tweeters can go anywhere unobtrusive.

If anyone has pics of their front speaker installations I'd love some ideas!! :P

im keen to see what people say as i will be looking at getting some tweeties soon,

some guy said its best to mount the tweeters opposite the accelerator and then the same on the opposite side, this means both are somewhat balanced at a distance away from your head.

do amped splits require sound deadening behind door skins!?

To start off, make adapters for your new speakers out of mdf, and make sure they're mounted and secured properly. I personally prefer wood over plastic as i like to think it's more sturdy. This shouldn't be hard as long if you don't pick overly thick mdf. Just make sure the speaker clears the window and door trim fine before putting everything together. Then you'd probably want to use some sound deadener in the doors to get rid of rattles. Not much more to it really. Ideally you want the speakers in some sort of enclosure but that's hard to do while trying to keep everything looking stock.

do this:

remake the original spacer in MDF to suit waht you are fitting. sound deaden the inner skin of the door and the outer skin of the door. tweeters can be put in the kick panels or on the a pillar if you can find the panel for it (S2 33 had tweeters there.)

from there put as much power and you can on htem.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
