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

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
