I need to buy some speakers for my GTR. 2 for the rear parcel shelf and 2 for the front doors. I'm not interested in top end stuff and just want something that is basic and will do a half decent job without being shitty. It's important that they just fit into the existing holes and under the covers. I'm pretty sure the existing ones are the stock items or at least like for like replacements for the OEM ones.

Anyone make a recommendation or point in the direction of something suitable that it second hand. I've had a bit of a search and couldn't find anything but must admit I didn't try tooooo hard.

Thanks.

So I'm looking for 6x4 front spreakers and this is a photo of the cavity where they need to go into. A couple of questions:

I've seen mention of coaxial speakers. I know what coax cable looks like for TVs, but what does this mean for car speakers and are they compatible with the wiring in the photo from my car (sorry for crap photo)?

Can anyone advise what the standard rear speaker size is for an R32 GTR?

Thanks.

Aaron, I've not forgotten you. Prob give you a call today.

EDIT I've also attached pics of the existing speakers for what it's worth.

coax just means the tweeter and speaker are one.... and there is an in built crossover.

it would hook up to your stock wiring, but if your head unit puts 30w to them and the speakers are 50w they'll sound like ass.. and possibly blow if you up the volume...

let me know if you need a hand?

Standard rear size is 17cm or 6.5" , should fit , the depth of the rubber lip on the top edge is important as well , as it will rub against the parcel shelf underneath ..

I took the old one out first and bought something similar - Polk Audio , mid priced great quality !

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
