Running Cables Into The Engine Bay

[scottmiller]

hey i am putting in a electronic boost controller and a new boost gauge. but am having trouble finding a hole to run them into the engine bay in an r34 any help would be appreciated

look for grommets dude... sometimes they can be hidden behind things tho

Remove drivers side front wheel,then you`ll see your wheel arch liner that covers the inner arch.The back section comes off by the 3 screws attaching it to the wing,a couple off push in trim clips and a screw on the sill bodykit piece.Behind that you`ll see a big rubber grommet going into the car (bulkhead area)just push a new hole in it or squeeze new loom/boost sensor tube through with the main loom into the car,they`ll appear next to the throttle cable area.

skylines are a pain in the arse when it comes to grommets.

open your hood and follow the wires that go into the cabin. theres an obvious one on the passengers that run the wires from the ecu to the boost solenoid in the 33. im sure you would have something similar in a 34

I find them a lot easier when compared to other imports such as silvia's/180's.

i ran my boost lines on the drivers side (look in engine bay) on the firewall you should see existing cables running into a grommet and the wires then run under your wheel arch into the engine bay..

i can run the boost cable there, but im putting in a new solanoid to and the cable wont reach( and i dont want to cut them to make them longer) so i trying to find something a bit closer

hey thanks for the replies, i was looking around for ages and found that on the passengers side there is a box in the engine bay which is the abs system, behind that there is a gromet which the the ecu cables run through.
