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

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
