Firewall Gromits in R33

[400HP]

Guys,

where can i plumb things through the firewall on the R33?

I only know of the hole in the right side near the accelerator pedal but surely there more...

[d0p3y]

I *guess* you could just make the hole bigger where theres power cable. I'm not 100% sure, good person to ask might be FRISKI as he's done heaps of installs on R33s and no doubt done quite a few power wires n stuff thru the firewall....

i've put my boost gauge hose thru the passenger side grommet ..

and also my siren cable goes thru there.

[400HP]

where exactly is this?

I had a look and didn't see one.

[nissanpower]

maybe gtr is different.. or abs is blocking it..

but heres a pic anyway

[400HP]

Yep that is exactly where the ABS is... I will have a look anyway mate. Thanks for that

Hye dude, there is one above the pedals on teh right hand side of engine bay about half way up... its hard to find but i run everything though here for alarm, boost controller etc... go under ya pedals searh up there to the right hand side and peel the carpet back a little and there is a gromet bout 20c piece in size.

nissanpowers pic is on the $$. theres a grommet just under the abs unit where u can pass wires through. There will be wires going through there already.

when installing my stereo in the R32 i was bitching to my dad about having to drill a massive hole in the firewall to put the sub power cable through. looking i found two massive holes about the size of my fists (almost), one each side of the engine bay to place wires through to the cabin. it has some foam in there which you place back once you have put the wires through..

unsure if the R33 is the same, but take a look as there hidden away

Did you guys remove the ABS to do it or was it not in the way?

[nissanpower]

i have no ABS

but if you can get your hands around it, the cable/hose should be easy to push through the gromet.

u dont have to remove anything.

y can clearly see the grommet with the wires going through just near the abs unit

Im confused... I can see the existing grommets that go through but to get the hose for my boost guage through do I need to drill somewhere or is there a place I can just stick it through?

i am mounting the guage on the pillar...

[Guest INASNT]

just cut a small hole in the grommet and rip it abit to fit the boost hose through! Just make sure it doesent get stuck along the way on anything or u will get false boost readings

[Talej]

ok I have cut a hole in the one of the drivers side (like http://jay.maxnet.co.nz/skyline/boostgage.htm) but now I cant seem to find where exactly it comes out... im using a coat hanger to see if i can find out before i stick the hose in....

[Guest INASNT]

pass it through the passenger side grommet coz u will never find the hose going through the drivers side grommet

[Talej]

heh guess what.... I did. took a while and it seems a bit dodgy but I got it through there... kinda goes out the side and comes in where some wire from the door goes... works for me.

[Talej]

oh btw thanks for the help
