I am assuming battery is in the engine bay, and you cant find a grommet to get the 4 guage power cable through (I had the same problem on the weekend with my R32 GTR).

On mine, I found a massive bunch of wires going into the driver side front guard area, and then coming through a monsterous grommet into the drivers side front foot well, so I ran my cable into here.

Removed the battery (you should do this anyways), jacked the car up, removed the front tire and wheel, unscrewed and unclipped the under-guard plastics, ran the power cable into the guard area from the engine bay and tied the cable up to leave enough spare cable for termination to my fuse, then pushed the cable through the grommet under the guard and had a friend drag it through inside the car.

Once it was all the way through, I used cable ties to lock the cable from movind inside the guard area (stops unwanted knocking noises and cable sheith wear) and then replaced the plastic, the wheel, and lowered the car back down to continue my install.

Side note: Not sure how well earthed the R34 is, but the stock 32 is not adequite, so you might want to think about upgrading the battery to chassis to engine block earth cable with a new battery terminal as well, or also think about an under-bonnet earthing kit, which will help reduce the chance of engine noise getting into your amp and being pumped through your speakers.

Also, run your sheilded RCA leads down the OTHER side of the car from the power run, keep them as far apart as possible to reduce cross-interference and induction being introduced into your RCA leads, and obviously into your amp, therefore being pumped into your speakers.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
