Yeah its a dog on the Stagea!

I just fitted an electronic boost guage yesterday, and realised how much more difficult it was compared to my old Skyline.

So what I did was to use the same route as the bonnet release cable. Its located inside the drivers foot well, up and to the right of the accellerator pedal.

Its a tricky one to use, but keeps all wires neatly out of the way if your running a guage or anything else.

Now the hardest part was "threading the needle" I straightened out an old wire coathanger and jabbed it through the rubber boot and fed it through into the bonnet. This isnt as easy as it sounds, because you have to feed that wire through the bonnet via a small hole beside the brake master cylinder. (you can see this in the far top right hand corner of your engine bay, next to some fuses or something). The trick to getting it through there is pre-bending your coat hanger, and having a second person guiding you from above the hole. Once it was through, I just tapped my sensor wires to the coat hanger end, and pulled it all back through in one angry yanking motion!

Once its through you are done! nice and neat.

Ill take some piccies tonight that should make this explanation a bit clearer.

Cheers,

Ben.

with my boost guage i removed one of the bolts from the accelerator pedal going thru the fire wall ...perfect lil spot for the vacumn line ... the power cable for the amps was a bit harder just had to drill a nice hole
