Unfused Ignition On Power Source

[JustinP]

I need to find an unfused ignition on power source for my R34 GTT as I will be running a number of devices with high current draw that will be independently fused. What is the best source for this?

Should I trace the wiring going into the ignition key block and try and tap it there, or try and find the source in the interior fuse block in the drivers side footwell? I can't easily test for voltage at the moment as there is unterminated wiring going everywhere, so I can't hook a battery up without frying something.

The other option I guess would be to run a relay that is triggered by the cigarette lighter ignition on power.

Cheers

Justin

If your running high amp devices use a trigger wire to relay and sufficient cables to source

Yep, i think that will be a better idea than finding a direct source - thanks.

No prob if you need help wiring in relays let me know and ill find some diagrams for you

Yep, wire straight to battery and relay switched via ignition for sure. What devices exactly? Wideband etc?

Water methanol injection pump, electric water pump, wideband, lots of other sensors, etc.

Make sure to put an inline fuse near the battery when you wire the relay in.
