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.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
