To run the RCAs from the front to the back all the skirting on the inside of the car unclips and lifts up. Now to get the RCAs from the back seat to the boot is a bit tricky, what you need is a unravled wire coat hanger or some wire. On the side of the seat pull it away from the edge of the door and stick the coat hanger/ wire through so it reaches the boot (it took me about an hour to achieve this so it may take a while) now make a loop in the wire and make sure that it is fairly tight around the RCAs and pull it through from the boot. It is not a quick task but is extremely dificult.

Now clip all the skirting back together and it should look like nothing is running under it.

I loosened the seat-bolts.. bum and back. Then lifted them up half a meter and just poked the RCA's through one of the little holes that go into the boot. There is already a wiring harness that runs up that way, so turn on and test the unit before you put the carpet, seats and stuff back in. Interference in the RCA's is a common problem in R33's it seems.

Pulling the seats out and back takes less than 1/2 hour and allows you to tape/zip tie the Rca's. I ran mine down the transmission tunnel to the back seat, A fair bit harder, along te side would definatley be better.

There is a harness that runs up the side already, try to stick to that.

I removed the rail that holds the seatbelt on, as it was neater to go under that. Easy.

The door-sill pops off with a gentle tug.

Remove the kickpanel where the ECU is, one nut on the footwell, then there's just two clips holding the side in, tug it off.

There is a round section next to the passenger seat, under that moulded piece of carpet there is an upside down U shape, where the wires can run over very nicely. You can work out the rest, but those minor details may help.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
