Guest CS_280ZX Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Hello, i currently am a proud owner of a 79 280ZX and i am need of access to the front and rear speakers, the ones at the front i feel i wont have much trouble getting to. however, the rear speakers ( behind the drivers seats in the walls) are behind a slotted panel, and i am unsure on how to safely remove the panel without damage to the spring clips ( i think ) that hold it in place, as they need replacing. Cheers Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusterZ Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Just looked at mine, they've been laying on the table downstairs for a year now. Your gonna have to take off the rear panels to get to the speakers. The grilles are held on by little flat metal fasteners pushed over plastic pins on the back of the grille. I'd say if you try to pull them off, you're gonna break the pins off. If I had batteries for the digital camera tonight, I'd post you a pic. I'll get some tomorrow and try to get one up.

David K Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Spring clips? All i can ever remember is 4 screws on each grill, and this is on several 280zx cars i have owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusterZ Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Yep, spring clips. Mines also a '79 2+2 (Fairlady 280Z) but the rear panels are out of a US 280ZX. They're the same as the J-spec ones were (except for the large pieces of ripped vinyl). Maybe a mid-year change or something There are no screws for the speaker grilles at all.

Guest jjohart Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Don't kid yourself, the front speakers are not easy to work on, and if you have a 79, be careful pulling off that dash cap! Cracks and chips in the act of flexing it off are no fun! John-83 280ZXT 2 + 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zedixe13 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Get out the dash , it's the only way to access the front speakers . I've done this so many times that I can get them out in 15 min. Ben'Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
