Does this mean its possible to remove the seat-back, and the parcel shelf without having to take the seat-bottom out?! thats a small time saver i didnt know about...

You will have to take the bottom seat out (as in where you ass touches the seat lol).. Then take the back seat out..

Thats the first two steps!!

Pretty sure you will have to take the side inner guards/panels out (the black thing).. where the seat belt hook is placed..

Done my rear speakers ages ago.. so sorta forgotten now..

Once thats all undone, im sure you can work out how to take the speakers out..

yeah you dont HAVE to take the bottom half of the seat out, but if you can (its a bitch) its easier to work with...

take the back bit off, then the parcel shelf... i dont remember if mine was bolted on, but i bolted it on afterwards...

the speakers are underneath that in the pods... i took the pods out, swapped the speakers where i had space cause the back window is a bitch, then put the pods back in...

but yeah, top part of the rear seat is a must...

Put some 6x9's in the parcel shelf the other weekend......

Take the bolts out of the bottom and slide forward enough to get to the other two bolts for the back... Don't take the bottom out completely - the latch part of the seatbelts were a bish to put back through when I did the "pleather" interior from the group buy!

There a sneaky couple of bolts on the underside of the parcel shelf... need to remove the HICAS computer to get to em... other than that.. easy as.

Will need spacers to bring the speakers up if going bigger than factory.. damn battery in the boot :)

took about 15 mins - but I had the rear seat out the week prior so I new that part was going to be easy.. bolt under the HICAS had me for about 10 minutes though!

I did mine and no you dont need to remove the black panels on the side where the seat belt holes are. I have six by nines in with spacers from Jay car they fit very snug and look great speakers dont interfear with the battery at all and for a bit of a bling spray the spacers anodized metallic blue will be finishing spraying mine this week end will post everything ive done on sunday looks trik as!! (if ya like that stuff)!!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
