You won't get the speaker wire through the existing harness as it has a plug at both ends that plug into bulkhead plugs in the car & door.

The easiest way (and neatest) I found to do it was to pull the guards off & drill 2 new holes with a 22mm hole saw in the cars a pillar & in the door, clean it up & paint it then use some grommets and sleeving, looks factory.

hey mate... best off using a coathanger or similar as a pull wire between the door and the cabin.

Tape the speaker wire to the pull wire, poke it thought the rubber grommets and drag it through. Can be fiddly but generally works best in my experence... If you don't used black speaker wire, you might want to wrap it in black tape to hide it.

Whoala!

Yeah as Todd said if its not thick speaker wire then you can fit it through the grommet and keep everything tidy.

You might need to soap up the cable to help it along a little.

Its easier than taking the panels off and its not that hard to do, if your running signal and power wires make sure that they are congregated to stop any interferance (preferably down each side of the car) or one down the left side and the other down the tunnel.

If you need a hand then there are plenty of people :huh:

If he has an R33 he can't do that. An R33 has bulkhead plugs both in the pillar & in the door that you can't poke wires through. You won't be able to put wires through the sleeving without it looking dogdey. I have an R33, been there done that, it all depends how good you want it to look & how long you want it to last.

I know what your saying Wogboy and i do agree but i have done it on a R33 and if you take enough time and dont rush you can do it without it look dodgy :(

There is another grommet about 10MM away from the main one one that you can fit the speaker cable through (this is what i used)

But i do agree that drilling another whole and puttinig a grommet in is alot easier (and can be neat) but i think some people would run into more trouble taking off gaurds and getting them to line back up if they haven't even had experience with pulling audio cable through :(

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
