I also used the driver side...

What I did was crank up the car, take the wheel off, take off the plastic under guard that has like 2/3 screws and 3/4 pop out pins then passed the cable right next to the others...

Then on the inside I took off the cover on the right to the pedals (has like to spots on the front where you have to pop out with a flat head if you dont want to damage anything).

Fairly Simple...

+1 for using the large grommet hidden behind the drivers side wheel arch plastic.

Put a screw driver through the hole in the grommet (careful not to stab and wires) and just pull down on it to open up the hole a little more(it should stretch a fair bit) and then slide the cable through while you are stretching the grommet

use the factory grommet, a small slice with a exacto type knife in the surround, and a old ford solid antenna works a treat with the ball end cut off , bent into a arc

tape the wiring to it on the drivers seat side and push it thru your slice slowly, if you need to use some silicone spray lube to make it slide thru

you should see the wires come out around the drivers feet well, kick panel. run them under the carpet, under the metal brackets and seat frame, away from the RCA wires. not pinched by bolts or dangling by the pedals .. tape it to the floor using gaffer tape for a neat job and no movement

you can pass it thru into the boot behind the side panels in the rear seat area(by the shocks) or between the boot panel located behind the rear seat bottom corner.

use care around the fuel pump wires

and use a fuse at the battery

PS.its easier to pull thick wire from the front seat area the short distance to the battery then it is to pull it thru the grommet the length of the car, especially with thick 4GA or bigger wires. if you push the ford antenna or clothes hanger thru the hole you can tape the big wires to it, spray with silicone and swish they go thru easy as piss

Thanks guys i didnt realise there was one on the drivers side (i am sooooo blind) i just saw the on the passenger side. i will give it a go today and see how i go and let you know if i run into any troubles.

Cheers

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
