OK So I believe my power cable for my amp is 8 gauge perhaps....

I need a grommet in the firewall for it to pass through. The only one I found so far is the one for my bonnet release which has the steel cable passing through it or the one that's just near my air con (but there's no interior access cos of air con shit taking up all the room inside). Any more places that I haven't seen yet??

I got my rca's and rear speaker wires to run up the side of the car under my carpet (it's a pro job, did it myself and you can't see cables anywhere !)

Just need the power to run down the left side of the car now.

Battery is on the right tho. So it'll be crossing the car (under the dash, inside) if I can find a suitable grommet on the right side.

Thanks guys :D

OK, most cars will have ample space in the passangers footwell.

Pull the carpet and heat cloth out of the way, and look for a suitable grommet. You may have to search right up behind the dash aswell.

It doesn't matter if the grommet is on the oppisite side to the battery, you should run the cable through PVC loom like : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

and if there is no grommet for your cable the next best pro-move is to drill a hole with one of these : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

and then fit in a grommet like this one to seal the fitment, put the nut end on the outside if you can : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

And don't forget to run the power lead and RCA leads on opposite ends of the car!!!

Let us know how it goes.

I ended up just going through the same grommet that carries the bonnet release cable.

Had to stab a little out to make it a slightly more comfy fit :P

ran it behind the accelerator then forwards under the dash to the other side of the car and to the back (PVC PIPING COMES IN HANDY WHEN GETTING FROM CABIN TO BOOT).

it all runs OK.

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
