Those plastic speaker holder thingies only hold 5 or 5 1/4" speakers.

I pulled mine out (the plastic things) and threw them in the bin and put in a set of 6's.

You need to make or buy a pair of wooden spacers though.

I got mine from JB Hi Fi for about 9 bucks.

This will make the speakers sit in the right spot (so your windows don't hit them) and make it sound heaps better.

this is incorrect!

how come i was able to put my 6 inch in the front in these same plastic speaker holders? the holes lined up and it fitted flucs no problems!

my windows dont have any problems either????

i dont know what kind of spearkers you have but!#$#??

Everyone has a different opionion to what size the speakers are. The rear shelf speakers on a series 1 R33 are definately 6.5 inch (I actually installed them myself). I havent got round to installing the fronts yet but I would assume they're the same size (judging by the size of the hole). It'll take about 20 minutes to take the door panel off, measure the stockie speaker, put the panel back on, and go down to the nearest car audio place and get the size that fits.

shit now ive confused myself :)

Geez, didn't take much!! :cool:

I dont know, but I reckon the fronts would be 6.5s.

I put 6s in the rear but they needed spacers. This was a ridicuolously annoying task! Wood is better for this because its stronger than plastic. The speakers wont transfer as much energy through the wood, which means they are more likely to convert the power delivered into actual sound rather than movement and rattles. Basically the stronger the mount/enclousure, the better the sound.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
