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.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.

      Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.

      I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
