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

    • 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.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
