Hey team.

I am currently installing my stereo in my r34 gtt and have run into a hurdle.

I cant find a place to run the power cable through the firewall.

How have others run the power cable from the engine bay through the firewall?

I could see no grommet or hole to use.

Does a hole need to be drilled?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

T

In an R33, there is a grommet used by the accelerator cable, which I used with no problems. Dunno about 34's, but have a look to see what else goes through the firewall, and trace on the footwell to see where it will come out.

strongly suggest you don't even consider drilling through any part of the car at all!

the way I did it on my 34 was to actually take off the front driver side quarter panel of the car, there's about 8-12 screws that need to be taken off before the panel comes off. once you do that, you can see the massive rubber grommet where you can poke the cable through into the car under the coin holder/fuses, you can't miss it.

I found that to be the easiest way, the rubber grommet is hard to see or poke anything through it. hope that helps.

You don't need to take the guard off. You pull the rear inner plastic wheel arch panel. You can get it off easier if you turn the wheels to the right full lock then pull out the plastic clips and get the inner panel out.

My side skirts also has two screws at the front that has to be taken out to release it.

Once out you will be able to see it all.

I haven't explained myself very well so here is a couple of pics.

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
