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...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
