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.

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
