r33 fronts

[AR93NT]

how do you get the stock front panel speakers out of a 33?

[wolverine]

right side: there are three screws on the door trim that need to be removed along the bottom edge of the door.

there is a screw in the recess of the door handle.

the surround of the door handle has to be levered out gently with a small screwdriver (insert about 1/3 along the top edge and very delicately lever the handle of the screwdriver up) the surround will release from the front first and lastly to the back.

gently lever up the window/locking surround with a small screwdriver. (there is a small clip that lifts pretty much straight up in the middle but mine was quite rusted and wasn't holding it). unclip the wiring loom.

lift the door trim from the bottom up and it should unclip ok.

left foor is nearly the same but there are two hidden screws (from memory) holding this trim.

follow same procedure for the right door with the three screws on the bottom edge of the door and the door handle.

lever the window switch surround with small screwdriver gently till it pops out. unclip the loom to the switch. this should reveal the first hidden screw.

look under the arm/handrest and there is another small plastic cover, same goes with levering this off, there is a screw in there to be undone.

the trim should lift off from the bottom up now.

the bonus section: i found it helpful to buy some panel clips from an automotive store to replace any damaged clips (of which there were a few on my car). i also would take the time to buy sound deadening from someone like FHRX studios and sound deaden your doors while you are at it. this is the cheapest and best modification you can make to improve your sound system. (serenity max is approx $110-120 to do both doors). while the trim is off you are crazy to miss this.

this should get you to the speakers.

i hope i have everything covered up to there.
