I installed a boost gauge on my R33 GTR but couldn't find any grommet holes in the firewall to run the vacuum hose through

so I did a quick job by putting it through the side fender and now the gauge is not working because the hose is squashed.

Can anyone tell me where to run the hose through the drivers side? The gauge is mounted onto the right air vent and the hose is squashed due to me trying to hide it under the trimming.

i ran a couple lines and wires for boost gauge and controller yesterday, the grommet isn't in the engine bay.

it is a hole in the engine bay at the very back on the drivers side, pretty big hole with wires already going through it,

the grommet is in your wheel arch under the plastic guard that stops shit flicking up from your rear wheel.

luckily (unfortunately) for me my gaurd must of been loose and rubbing on the wheel and has worn away so it was easy for me to get to just by lifting it up.

you'll need to undo the gaurd and stab a hole through the grommet with a screw driver and push the hose through then the other end goes into the engine bay through that hole with all the wires

if you still need help i'll pm my number give me a call and i'll send some photos

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
