I am assuming battery is in the engine bay, and you cant find a grommet to get the 4 guage power cable through (I had the same problem on the weekend with my R32 GTR).

On mine, I found a massive bunch of wires going into the driver side front guard area, and then coming through a monsterous grommet into the drivers side front foot well, so I ran my cable into here.

Removed the battery (you should do this anyways), jacked the car up, removed the front tire and wheel, unscrewed and unclipped the under-guard plastics, ran the power cable into the guard area from the engine bay and tied the cable up to leave enough spare cable for termination to my fuse, then pushed the cable through the grommet under the guard and had a friend drag it through inside the car.

Once it was all the way through, I used cable ties to lock the cable from movind inside the guard area (stops unwanted knocking noises and cable sheith wear) and then replaced the plastic, the wheel, and lowered the car back down to continue my install.

Side note: Not sure how well earthed the R34 is, but the stock 32 is not adequite, so you might want to think about upgrading the battery to chassis to engine block earth cable with a new battery terminal as well, or also think about an under-bonnet earthing kit, which will help reduce the chance of engine noise getting into your amp and being pumped through your speakers.

Also, run your sheilded RCA leads down the OTHER side of the car from the power run, keep them as far apart as possible to reduce cross-interference and induction being introduced into your RCA leads, and obviously into your amp, therefore being pumped into your speakers.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
