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.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
