running of cables in r32??

[Skorj]

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..

all i did with my remote wire and rca wire was run them under then centre console under my back floor mats and under the seat the power cable i ran under the drivers side cover strip that says skyline and i gotta try n push it under the rear trims or sumthin but it goes under the rear seat aswell hope it helps

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.

As above, simply take out either front seat and the strip and kick panel and the carpet will simply lift up with the little white strip it's attached to. I did this only last night as I stripped most of my GTR's interior.
