Couldnt find an answer after searching so just want to know if 6.5's will fit without any sort of modification, or are the stock standard speakers 6"? I have had aftermarket speakers in since I bought it but they are crap and arent even mounted at all (they're a big box of something, sound like crap though), slip around everytime I hit a corner!

thanks

dunno if they'd fit mate but splits at the back aren't necessary. some two way speakers are all you'll need. save the money and put it into a better amp, splits for the front or other stuff. the rears are just for fill

I agree, but since my car came with focal splits in the back i aint getting rid of em.

They do fit coz i have them, not sure how hard it was to get them in.

Yep, agreed as well about the smaller mounting depth. When I changed my car speakers, I actually took everything apart so that only the

rears were ready to be mounted. Then I just drove to Strathfield car radio, and some places are nice enough to let you take the speakers to your

car and see if they will fit.

Of course you should do your research first to narrow down to a few speakers that you are interested in first.

yeah i had 6.5" Hertz splits in the back, had to modify/cut the plastic holder a bit to get them to fit properly though and i think some the holes didn't line up exactly in the plastic holder as well, also I left the restraint bars in over the speakers and i found (when i took them out) that the speaker was actually coming up and just hitting the bracket so now there are 2 small divets on the cones (no biggie), but now I have jaycar 6x9" in the back on an mdf shelf and they shit all over the splits

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
