R32 spacer schematics here

[Triptych]

thanks for the info man. I might take my door trim off again sometime and have a look at the drivers side as the passengers side I think somebody has already extended the cuts in the door but for some reason I think the drivers side was untouched. I do have a photo of the passenger side with just the pod and no speaker in it.

Also I did make note with mine that if you look in the middle picture you will see the top of the speaker hits the door trim where it curves inwards but that wasn't an issue for me at all because it just basically sat on top and wasn't putting any real force on the speaker.

I have included the photo of the passenger side pod which I think had metal already slightly chopped out of it before i got the car just to give you some sort of idea on how mine turned out. Also i guess another thing to factor in will be magnet depth and such. I might try and get the snake cam in there as well when I remove the trim just to see how much room I really do have because judging by eye it looks like there is about a cm or 2 between my speaker magnet and that white circle thing that goes with the power window.

Also I don't know much about this kind of stuff but just thought maybe if people put in some info on what has worked for them and what hasn't it might help others out.

Well thanks for the help. Much appreciated. After measuring and such, it was possible my 6" speakers didn't have to touch the inward curve of door trim, or any of it. So might just have to redo the templates but this time i'll customize both the hole position and screw holes (sounds bad, for the dirty mofos) to make sure everything fits. Will report back when done (may take a while).

what size speakers originally fits in the front of R32 GTR? wondering on size to whether i just buy 6.5" splits or 5.25" splits

I had the same issue as tyresbro where the holes didn't line up and the actualy template needed a bit of modifying (but this is probably due to the holes not lining up.

Also found that using 6mm mdf worked fine with the speakers I am using, but cut out a ring to boost the width to 12mm just where the speaker is so as to make sure the trim fit on with minimal ease.

Using the thinner board worked a treat!

the problem with that install the MDF willl get wet and expand/rot . you need to paint/seal the wood after you get it cut and drilled , A drying/ undercoat works a treat. not the stuff that stays messy and tar like but one that dries. or even some 2 dollar matte black works better then nothing.

you should drip protect the speaker back as well. duct tape over the top 1/4 of the speaker or a old plastic butter bowl cut and melted works well or store bought baffles ??

speaker wires should be water tight or treated to not corrode from water
