you can put any type of speaker in any car lol...

6x9's should fit in any back dash, the only car we had problems installing 6x9's to were my friends gen 3 prelude, we had to cut the metal on his back dash and also cut the 6x9's LOL, but in the end it fits nicely and sounds sweet :)

I tried but I'm not that great at it.

With 1 set of spacers it was very close to hitting the metal surround of the car.

Ended up not doing it and getting 6" round ones.

Got a spare set of 6x9's now if anyone wants to purchase??

Pioneer 3 ways, 240w i think.

yes there is, leave them out

sell them to some guy on ebay or something.

6x9's r a generic oval speaker which tries to play sub bass. by using them u'll be taking away quality bass that ur subs should be playing. Esp. if u have them just off the headunit.

IMO sell the 6x9's, with the money u get from that buy $100 worth of sound deadening for the front components u have. will sound much better IMO.

but......if u really want to use the 6x9s just make a spacer out of mdf.

check out my thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=62816

When i did mine i replaced the entire shelf and made a new one but you don't have to do this...

Roughly steps I took:

1.Remove rear seat

2.Remove stock speakers

3.Remove the Masonite timber panel on rear shelf

4.Remove everything form your boot - including your battery

5.Unscrew your HICAS Unit (this will need to be moved)

6.Get in your boot with the 6x9 template, mark where you want them

7.Use a angle grinder to cut away the steel - this is not allowed as it's a structual part of the car but you wont get done for it or anything :)

8. Once cut make sure no sharp edges, then try the speaker - if it fitst cut the top timber panel to fit (or make a ne wone like i did)

I helped my mate do his yesterday - took about an hour, should take you about 2ish if you aint done it before - maybe more if your scared of the sparks form the grinder :)

Method B is to buy some 6x9 'blocks' from say autobahn (or make your own) they do look a bit shitty IMHO but some people like them :)

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
