I need some speakers for the new car. R32 GTST 2 door. Has the stock ones in there atm im thinking, judging by the crap sound coming through.

Ive been given a quote by braddon car stereo to install and they want 400.00 labour not including what speakers i want. Apparently the skyline needs spacers in the front and a rear shelf made up or something.

he said the seat belt something or other goes through the speakers in the rear hence the new shelf needed.

i want 6 inch in the front and rear and nothing special.....was looking at MTX or pioneer......

anyone done it themsleves (thats what i was hoping to do) or know of a good place thats done skylines before.!!!!

cheers.....

bud,

a mate and i re-did mine about two weeks ago,

we discovered that when the speakers where only being held by one screw..

so we just got some rlly thin ply wood and using a jigsaw made our own brackets so the speakers would fit snug, and screwed in with more than one screw haha

we made a template out of cardboard and then put it against the ply wood - worked a treat

what model???

i would not reccommend bdl at all. my mate got some focals in his font doors. expensive speakers...and they didn't put the trim seals back on properly...both speakers had watermarks on them plus crossovers weren't good.

sure they replaced them...but it's the principle yeah?

my pick would be the place in phillip. us guys at work can get cheap systems from the kenwood rep and installed through them. all the installs ive seen come out of there have been really good and ill be going to them to see what they can do about front speakers

i like the DIY approach.

+1

Just set yourself a weekend to get stuck in to it and with a bit of common sense, the right tools and some patience its not that hard... Just time consuming.

You'll save hundreds of dollars if you DIY.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
