Hey everyone.

During compliance on my R34 skyline they put child restraints in through the stock speaker covers, I figured it was no biggie till i tried to take the cover off to change the speakers..

Ive taken out the bolt that held the child restraint on but the cover is still stuck down on all four corners. What is the likelyhood it is glued and how would u suggest i get them off?

Tried cutting along the edge of the bottom of the covers but its too damn tight so the blade doesnt fit (parcel shelf and speaker cover). I also have no idea how or if i can take the parcel shelf off.

Its really starting to bug me cause the speaker is rooted and i cant do anything about it :(

How do you remove the rear trims to access the parcel tray? The rear seat is easy enough but I'm a bit hessitant about ripping out trim parts without knowing what I'm doing :blush:

side trims

remove the seats first of course

a gentle even tug will reveal , they pop off in your hands, go slow and work around the edges, snaps back in with a light tap with your palm . can't remember if you have to take out the seat belt bolt or not but you will see it if you do?

Thanks, I will brave it on the weekend :blush: Does anyone know if the front speakers are the same as the rears? My rears are stuffed and I'm thinking of putting the fronts in the rears and putting in a set of splits into the front.

not so important to remove the side trims,

iv just done my whole system and didnt remove the trims

the trims tend to sit in the pacel shelf... so u can push down on the sides

and slide it forward

thats just how i did it, but each to their own :P

gl

p.s if ur gonna swap front speaks to rear...might as well upgrade

my 33 has the child restraint welded in a way that it doesnt allow me to remove my speaker covers. wasnt too happy when i discovered it but at least they still work. ill take to it with a grinder when the day comes for replacement. have a look under your shelve via the boot to see how they may have mounted the restraints.

Yes, R34 front speakers are 6" and tweeters can go in the factory spot or on sail panels (the place the mirror mounts are) unless you want some custom spots.

R34 have a fair bit of room for deep 6" unless you go for some exotic brands like Morel

Well I had success with the parcel shelf, probably will get some decent 2 ways to replace them with.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question as I haven't taken off my front door trims yet, but where are the factory spots for the tweeters?

    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
