I need some help here, im actually a person with no knowledge on how to fix cars but do you have any DIY that can help me how to take off the car door so that i can install new speakers to my R33 GTSt?

What i did was i unscrewed the 2 screws at the bottom of the door and 1 screw from the middle door.

I losen the both sides and bottom but having a hard time trying to pull off the door which is the top part of it. Tried to pull it but heard some cracking sound.

I stop altogether worried i might break anything and thought i would be better off seeking help here first

Would be really great i can do it myself rather than getting people to instal them and i have to pay.

Thanks in adv.

drivers door: should be 3 screws at the bottom, and one in the bottom of the cupped handle piece.. remove those, and then remove the plastic backing to the opening handle (just pulls up and out on the rearmost side, and then pull the pull up the plastic piece that has the window controls/etc. unplug the well.. plug and then gently pull the door off, starting at the bottom, and the top will be hooked over the frame ov the door (its all little plastic push tabs, should come off with a little bit of force).

passenger door: essentially the same, except there is another screw under the grab handle, under a little tab... and you need to remove the window control for this side aswell.. the rest should be the same as above.

im not 100% sure i got every step there, may be one screw or osmething i missed, so just have a look, and if it wont come off when you pull, feel where the restriction is and check for screws there. if you still fail gimme a yell again and ill go check on my car, coz ive got both the skins off at the moment :P

Ahh!! I found the screw right behind the power window, ive already unscrew them and the top part did came out pretty easy.

Only problem now was the handle(to open the door together with the lock button) seems to be sticking the door with the skin.

Any ideas how to get them out?

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
