Help! replace r33 rear spearkers


Recommended Posts

there should be 2 bolts holding the bottom of the rear seats, undo them then you have to lift it up quite hard.. it should come out. there should be another 2 bolts holding the rear of the seats, undo them. Now take the parcel shelf off gentally as you dont want to snap it. unscrew and replace speakers :D

my parcel shelf was tuff to get off, had those baby seat bolt thingys in it when it was complied. You might have to unbolt these through the boot. There are other clips you need to unscrew through the boot as well.

I couldn't fit 6x9s because the left side speaker touchs the battery.

If you intend to fit a sub, don't bother with the 6x9's.

Personally, i bought a "top of the line" set of Hertz 6" mid bass woofers for the rears, does the job :( (After all it is a performance car and you don't want to weigh it down with subs, etc.. ;) )

Only want to say that you don't have to cut the metal to fit 6x9's. Just have to put them in on an angle to follow the existing "D" shape cutout in the body.

I have put Sony Xplod 6x9's in (these are not particularly slimline or anything). It is fiddly but it can be done.

I posted details of this some months ago. See attachment

Enjoy

Factory R33 S1 speakers are 6.5" all round! . After listening to others on this forum say 6, I went out a bought 6s only to waste 4 hours making brakets to fit them properly :(

And yes, the backseat will need to come out before you can get at the rear speakers.

Do a search in the Car Audio section :uh-huh:

    • 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.
