Hey guys.. I know this may sound like a simple stupid question.. But, how do you get your power wire through the firewall on the 32? Sorry if it seems really stupid.. I have had a look, but, cant see a a way to get it trhought the firewall.. Also.. what would be the best location to put the amp? I was maybe thinking under the passenger seat, or maybe on the back of the back seat? Any ideas or suggestions?

Hey, Just installed an amp in my r32 gtst other day, ok.

OK this what 2 do, on the drivers side the wires going into like a foam rubbery thing, rip that out. now. You'll find a ruber gland.Now whip around inside of the car and, (first get a coat hangar) now Pull back some of the sound deadening stuff( behinde accelerator) , don't need to take it off. Just pull back untill u find it. Might be easier to find if u poke coat hanger through the other end first if u can find it.

U should be able to find the other end of the rubber gland. Once u find that poke the coathangar through (from inside to out / under hood). Move it around a bit, It's very thick. Now once through, rip under the hood and pull the coat hangar out a little more. Now u need some electrical tape / or some tape needs to be fairly strong. Now put the wire side by side to coat hangar (needs to overlap coat hanger and wire) Wrap electrical tape around the wire and coat hanger. Make sure the electrical tape goes up past the wire up the coat hangar and it's makes a smooth like shape sort of when the wire starts up beside coat hangar.

Now Once that's done yank the power wire through the firewall. Now I ran my amp on the back of the seat in my r32, replaced the stupid plastic panel crap thing that sits at inside end of boot with a wooden one, made some brackets of off the two holes that come of the metal near back seat and mounted the wood on theire. On that is my amp and Fire extinguisher.

yeah seat doesn't fold down. U pull the back seat out.

Just pull the bottom bit( sit on part) up real hard, find the clip on each side that hold it down, and Pull up hard like no 2morrow. than do other side. once u do that just simply unbot rest. and Pull the back seat out. I followed the original wirring loom, I ended up taking out drivers seat 2. to make it easyier 2 get @.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
