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.

      RB gearbox options

      By rbs30 · Posted

      What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house?

      Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.

      So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..

      Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
