to my knowledge you won't be able to remove the rear shelf as it's welded in the body. It's a structural thing.

If you really must have rear speakers the way I got to mine was by removing the rear seats, after that everything was removed without issue.

Actually Nathan the rear shelf comes out on its own. It's just masonite covered in fabric. Found all this out during window tinting.

As for getting it out? As Nathan said, rear seats out, and go from there. Afaik you need to remove the rear wiper, but the manual will reveal all secrets. :)

Piece of piss...

2 Clips on the bottom front of the Rear seat... unclip and remove the bottom section.. there are 2 10mil bolts holding the bottom of the upper part of the seat... undoo them and pull the seat up towards the rear windscreen... and out of the car. Rear parcell shelf if helt in by clips... you will have to remove the Plactic cover around the Wiper and ulclip the shelf and it comes out.

Good luck getting 6X9's in there.

I just fitted a pair of Pioneer 6" 3-ways and that's pretty much it, but I didn't have to remove the plastic wiper cover on my R32 GTR it just came away with the shelf cover as did the standard speaker covers. To get the bottom part of the seat out you just pull up hard at the front on each side to release the clips.

The speakers I bought bolted straight into the existing speaker holes using the hardware supplied with the speakers...a very easy job.

It would be difficult to fit 6x9's without hacking the metal shelf...not recommended. But one way around that problem would be to get a pair of plastic speaker spacers that would screw to the shelf trim in place of the origonal speaker grills (these just unscrew on a GTR). Jaycar sell these:

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
