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 :(

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
