yes, i know the rounded off square templates... a square but with smooth corners.... anyway, i noticed somewhere on this forum, that you can cut it with an angel grinder and fit 6.5" speakers in the front, is there a big bifference between the 6" and 6.5" speakers? coz im leaning towards the 6.5" speakers... only coz they are bigger and it gives me some more work to do with my spare free time (instead of sitting in my room on the pc).

Cheers

6.5 on a custom base works well. saves hacking up the oringinals and the fact that when you do hack iit up they are no longer sealed so you end up with a bit of cancellation.

Ok so what would be the better way to go... 6 or 6.5" ???? i want the best sounds possible from the front speakers coz thats where i always am... rear ones will be 6x9 or 6.5 depends on what fits.

Cheers

if that is the case then you may wish to invest is sound deadening as well ( I sell this) that way you are geeting the best form what you have.

alos add an amplifier to it. that will help dramatically.

in regard to the rears - 6.5" - dunno where you guys get 6x9s from. teamed with a small sub it will work well.

R34's have 6.5" front and rear, when I replaced mine they fitted in straight in no problem. 6X9's are shit, don't bother.

Definately get some amps if you can afford it.

But as Chris said, good quality sound deadening will probably give you much better sound improvement than anything else, especially in the front doors (it makes a HUGE difference). Just make sure it's installed properly.

What you should do is fully sound deaden the front doors, both on the inner and outer skin. Once that is done then install diffusers and make up baffles to run 6.5" drivers. Chris can do all this for you if you're up in his neck of the woods.

The R33 Skyline doors look like this when done. I know it's not an R34 but it gives you an general idea of what I'm talking about.

thanks for the help guys, after much thinking into the car and licensing costs, etc. i have now decided to buy an r33 Turbo Automatic car (1995 with only 44,000k's on the clock) all the manual ones had 80,000+ and this one has 2 years warranty. So the above guide should help me out alot (thanks guys!) oh and last questions... splits or no splits?? and any tips for getting the sound deadening material behind the inner door frame??

Cheers

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
