Hi All,

Just wanting some help. I've started buying bits and pieces of Audio gear for my R34, and I have bought a good speaker amp and have bought some 6.5" splits to go into the doors.

I am keen on a bit of a DIY job. I would be happy to pay a pro money, but i want to give it a shot myself. I have a bit of electrical experience so wiring isn't a problem. Its just I have absolutely no idea where to fit the stuff. Even though it is a pretty small amp (kicker kx200.2) it wont fit underneath either of the front seats. I had (what I thought) to be an ingenious idea to mount the amp on the back of the drives side front seat, where it is pretty much hidden inside the pocket. running the wires down to the floor would be an easy job and they would be hidden by the plastic knee board on the back of the seat. but I have been told by people that it wouldn't be enough cooling for the amp to sit inside the pocket. Any advice/feedback on this idea would be sweet.

Also, there are a few funny clips on the doors. When/if I attempt the speaker install, what are the best way to take these out as I would be pissed if I frigged up the interior!!

Many Thanks,

Steve

p.s. see attached photo :P

why???? you run more risk of it burning up, more risk of it getting pinched , more risk of destroy cables. put it int h rear behind the rear seat. trav you suprise me sometimes...

Surprise? Have you ever seen me pull a cat out a hat?!

U would have to make some sort of moulding for it behind the rear seat. Do not just screw it into the "wall" behind the rear seat as thats where the fuel tank is. I screwed mine down in the boot floor on the passangers side. Not pretty but works fine.

thanks guys for your responses,

For an update,

My plan was to buy a sub and mono amp, and have all of that installed nicely in the boot, keeping all the speakers etc, toward the front, just leaving the sub stuff in the boot. that was my plan. But if the ol' back of the back (on mdf) seat is the answer, then so be it. But keep me posted on any other ideas you may have.

Cheers!

what about underneath the rear seat? is there any roon?

Hey mate to remove the door panels the funny clips you push the centre in and pull the whole plug out :) dont forget to remove everything off the door and lift it up and off then unclip the power window thingo and poof its off..

now for your amp setup ..

just a small idea i came up with .. not really happy with it but you never are reaLLY - dont over heat and doesnt move and looks ok what more do u want

I plan to get new cables and new sheath to cover the other cables in chrome/silver just to match the alpine and fusion amp.. and then the boot will go red/black with a sub in the spare tyre hole (inverted)

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
