R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

Trying to install the positive long positive battery cable and protectors from a factory GT-R into my GT-T (i have the cable and protectors and clips).  I have googled and watched YouTube videos and am unable to locate the mounting points and exact routing of the BNR34 positive battery cable that goes from the trunk battery to the front fuse box in the engine bay.  The best photo i have have found is attached which shows it running up the outer side of the driver side subframe and underneath into the engine bay.  Does anyone have any photos or routing for the rear?  There is a grommet that that it goes through on the passenger side behind the battery above the fuel tank, and i believe it gets mounts over the hump in the subframe towards the passenger side.  I'm hoping anyone who has a R33 or R34 with a factory trunk battery can post some photos of the routing of the cable.  Appreciate the help!

I can take some better pictures when I get around to pulling the transmission on my R33 but this will probably give you some idea of where it's routed.

Thanks, i have those photos and the R34 version.  It's where the wire crosses from the passenger side to the drivers side that I'm unsure about.  I'm pretty sure it follows/mounts to the arch of the rear subframe, but i have been unable to confirm.  Photos would be great!!  Thanks

If by this you mean the stiffening rib in the floopan, then probably yes. There would be no way that it would be attached to the actual subframe. That would be silly.

Possibly, like i said, i just don't know.  I'm only guessing by the shape of the cable.  Stiffening rib would make more sense though.

Not sure why these images refuse to be uploaded in jpeg format but that's the way it goes. Basically runs just to the right of the brake lines, up and around the top side of the front of the fuel tank, makes a turn and heads back at the corner, then the last bit goes straight up near the wheel well into the trunk.

They have some strange meta data. I was able to repair them on my Mac.

Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT.

I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors?

How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis?

Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
