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?

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
