R33 Rear Speaker Mounting Holes?

[Torques]

Hello there,

I am in the process of fitting new speakers in the back (16.5cm).

The speakers fit alright, but I might have trouble drilling holes for the screws holding the speakers.

Is there a way drilling proper holes without removing the rear window? (that I won't do)

The owner before me didn't bother and didn't fix the speakers at all .. (and that is not an option for me )

Cheers ...

Drill them from inside the boot maybe?

If you get really stuck go to your nearest equipment hire place and hire a 90 degree offset drill. just like a normal drill but the chuck and hence the drill bit are offset 90 degrees to the body of the drill - great when you need to get into tight places

Hi there,

yes ... the offset drill came to mind

As for drilling from the boot I'll check that possibility but there seems to be

the battery holder in the way ..

(My battery is in the trunk of the car)

It's all very tight and no easy access.

Same goes for the cover that sits in the rear below the window.

It's snapped right and left to the sides of 2 plastic covers.

It was a pain to remove

Why did Nissan not just provide standard openings for the speakers?

Would have been so much easier

Im guessing coz its a car used more for driving then to listen to music in but yes i agree they should make it easier. I did a similiar job to my mates car if you can try and pull the battery out. If you can mark the holes properly you should be able to get a decent job

Alright ... I'll check in an hour ..

As for the car I agree, they had more the performance aspect in mind.

Nevertheless they fitted a 4 speaker system and added lots of weight by using electric windows / AC and other gimmicks.

I personally like the luxury aspect of my Skyline (without it I wouldn't have bought it )
