i was just getting ready to run some cables in my 32gtr like power cable and rca's etc.. and was wondering on an easy way to get under the carpet without damaging anything?? i have done work on my old commodore where i simple took off the door foot panels and had room to run the cables there, but the 32 has no room there and when i took the panels off, the carpet seems to be stapled to the floor...

is there an easy way to run the cables that i'm not seeing??

thought i'd ask beofre i go ripping stuff out.

thanks for any suggestions..

I ran two 4g power cables in my GTSt 4 door. A 2 door should be similar.

I took out the drivers side kickpanel and door foot panels.

I pulled out the front seat but maybe that wasn't necessary

The carpet is stapled to plastic clips that push onto the lip on top of the sill.

Lift these up and the carpet should fold inward. Run the power cable along the bottom of the inside of the sill, where it meets the floor. Tuck it in with the main loom. Take your time to feed it past any obstructions like boot release, seat crossmember and seatbelt etc.

If you want to run it into the boot you will need to take the back seat out and feed the cable through the small hole where the wheelarch meets the bottom of the rear 'firewall'.

I ran my RCAs and speaker cable down the passengers side in a similar manner.

Even with the thick cables and three RCAs there isn't any lumps in the carpet.

Hope this helps.

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
