OK So I believe my power cable for my amp is 8 gauge perhaps....

I need a grommet in the firewall for it to pass through. The only one I found so far is the one for my bonnet release which has the steel cable passing through it or the one that's just near my air con (but there's no interior access cos of air con shit taking up all the room inside). Any more places that I haven't seen yet??

I got my rca's and rear speaker wires to run up the side of the car under my carpet (it's a pro job, did it myself and you can't see cables anywhere !)

Just need the power to run down the left side of the car now.

Battery is on the right tho. So it'll be crossing the car (under the dash, inside) if I can find a suitable grommet on the right side.

Thanks guys :D

OK, most cars will have ample space in the passangers footwell.

Pull the carpet and heat cloth out of the way, and look for a suitable grommet. You may have to search right up behind the dash aswell.

It doesn't matter if the grommet is on the oppisite side to the battery, you should run the cable through PVC loom like : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

and if there is no grommet for your cable the next best pro-move is to drill a hole with one of these : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

and then fit in a grommet like this one to seal the fitment, put the nut end on the outside if you can : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?I...eMax=&SUBCATID=

And don't forget to run the power lead and RCA leads on opposite ends of the car!!!

Let us know how it goes.

I ended up just going through the same grommet that carries the bonnet release cable.

Had to stab a little out to make it a slightly more comfy fit :P

ran it behind the accelerator then forwards under the dash to the other side of the car and to the back (PVC PIPING COMES IN HANDY WHEN GETTING FROM CABIN TO BOOT).

it all runs OK.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
