Help - Boost Guage Install 33 Gtr

[usmair]

Hi, as the title says im installing a boost guage in the GTR

everything is all sorted but i cant get the farkin boost pressure pipe thing (that hooks up to the back of the guage) from the engine bay to the interior....

any body got any tips on where to find a firewall to squeeze the tube through??

I got told there is one at the top left of the engine bay but I tried forever and couldnt get anything through

any tips/suggestions/prior experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

There's a few good guides on here on installing boost gauges, i ran mine through the firewall just to the right above the accelerator pedal had to cut a little hole through the rubber gromet carefully and came up back through the engine bay just near the little black box i think the stock boost gauge hose runs into was fairly easy was a hassle grabbing the hose though used some long nose pliers

i c... thanks for that... im not too sure if GTS-T and GTRs have the same setup... i remember it was really easy on my old GTS-T... on the GTR is an absolute mission for some reason

ill look around the accelerator on the weekend but im pretty sure its the same one i tried today

cheers

Yea im not sure either wouldn't see why they wouldn't be though took me ages to find the rubber grommet though was really buried ...

'Would like to add that the R33 GTR's don't have that hole in the firewall next to the stereo. Instead you'll have to cut open the large rubber grommet where the loom travels through, which is just to the right of the accelerator cable behind the insulating stuff.'

looks like i have some cutting to do on the weekend

thanks!

jesus dont cut anything grab a bloody piece of long wire or electrical line tape the vac line to the hard wire and poke it thru the gromet thus making a clean hole not butchering crap jesus

lol good to know

agreed. there is no need to cut any grommet anywhere on the firewall in any model GTR just to get a boost hose through there. I can get plenty of sensor wires, boost hoses etc throuhg the various grommets without cutting anything.

I got it through on the weekend without cutting... just following the alarm wire

was pretty easy actually

now to get my broken power window sorted... absolute pain in the ass!

good man. yeah cutting grommets for 1 little vacuum hose or wire is nuts! there is plenty room.
