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.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
