Hi there,

I have done a bit of searching but still thought that I would post here. I have a non premium 2004 Skyline & wanted to swap out the factory non- Bose speakers for something better. Am I right to presume that the speaker sizes for the non premium & the premium are the same? Front are 6.5" & rear 5.25" according to what I read on here. Correct me if I am wrong.

I have an Alpine head unit an new model a ICS-X8 I don't know a great deal about speakers in cars but I have been pointed towards the X series Alpine speakers. Can anyone advise if these are good or if I should look at something better? I know that it comes down to budget. I usually just buy the best but I am not that into car audio that I want to go nuts.

I would also like to know where is a good place to purchase in Adelaide & also to get them fitted. Are they hard to install? I am not that handy but if there is someone that can be recommend then that would be appreciated.

Hey Bud,

I had a 350Gt and now have upgraded to a 370Gt and now have all these parts left.

I replaced the front speakers with alpine type R, which are top of the line speaker for Alpine, sounded awesome on the stock unit clear and bassy. It was only in my car for 8months then I decided to upgrade. RRP was 370 i think

if your interested on them they are in a box, close to brand new and I have the speaker MDF wooden spacers aswell.

I also have a Sway bar, Injen CIA, Motordyne plenum spacer, Black out side indicators, if your interested PM me?

Will post up pics on the parts soon

Cheers,

Jose

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
