Has anyone made pods to fit a set of 6.5 RF splits???

At the moment i have them mounted into the origanal spot were the old super sound speakers were.. but it seems to me they need to be out more and not so hidden away!

any help would be great :(

To have pods on the 32 doors you would more than likely have to be fairly handy with the glass. If you or someone you know is handy with fibreglass grab a spare set of door trims from the wreckers and be creative!

If you don't want to go to that extent and are really only after better sound, some decent sound deadener on the doors, focusing around the speaker area will greatly improve sound. You could also try making up a bit of MDF to mount the speaker on to get rid of some resonance as well. In the end its just another case of the more time and effort you put in the better the end result!

see thats where im different when i bought new speakers my main concern was to keep them in the stock location nice and hidden away so nothing looks out of place

thats just the way i wanted it which is cool considering i dont have to worry about the same stuff you do

i have to agree, i hate the dip in the middle of the 32 doors..

but not nearly as much as i hate the r32 dash.

well, the instrument cluster surround anyway..

i have a spare set of door cards, and dash, so when i get the 32 back i'll be making full custom doors and dash.

and getting the whole interior re-done and cleaned up

this thing's gonna look like a aston martin when i'm done with it!

but seriously, if your any good at diy,

get a spare set of door cards, do some research on fibreglassing and try it out, you'll enjoy it...

cool sounds like fun.. I dont mind the R32 dash, lots of options for making that look better such as CF surround and some white faces..

But i do have a hatred feeling for the door cards.I consider my self very handy with car mods but just wanted to know if anyone has done it b4.. LMAO speaking of spare parts, i have a set of stock front guards im going to mod with FG and make some trippy vents. Should be good.

Any one know of a site that deals in FG add on vents?

I have read thet you can fit up to 6x9's in there, 6.5" will fit nicely - If you check the mounting depth, I didnt and ended up having to make angled pods with MDF and a lot of glue, sticky tape and chewing gum :) cost my sanity dearly. Check out the sticky for the bracket template.

      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.
