Hey all.

Was reading a import mag earlier with a silver cefiro owned by a fella in victoria called chris, seen he relocated his under bonnet fuse box.

And I wanna do the same, just wondering where would be the best place, I was thinking maybe glove box. Boots too far but would be the go.

And noo im not putting a cover over it. :P

Cheers

Choc

if youre going to do it, do it properly, pull the dash out, pull the whole loom out ect

i did it with dash in and didnt remove the loom, was nothing but drama's, shit not working, stuff shorting out, blowing fuses, massive mess under the dash

i ended up starting again with a new loom and left it in the stock spot and just stripped it to bare minimum

this is what i ripped out

I've just done mine chocky. basically pull the full loom from out of the front of the car. Strip the tape off the loom and work out where its going to sit under the dash, mine is right next to the other fuse panel cable tied up out of the way. Then cut and shorten and solder/heatshrink each cable one by one. while the loom was stripped I also removed the Abs wiring to cut out some cables, then I also drilled a hole just above the chassis rail near the alternator to bring that wiring out under the guard then back over the wheel arch and moved the battery to the boot but run the power wire in behind the strut down under the break booster to the starter motor. Having it ran here also allowed me to put a decent fuse in and also a place to put the jumper leads if i need to jump start the car again.

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
