Hey so I want to install an amplifier in the boot of my r32 gtr and ive seen the thread for an ampliifer install into a r32 gtst which was heaps helpful but the problem I am having is that I dont know where to run the power cable of the amp through the firewall. Ive heard your meant to run it through the firewall on the drivers side but there is something in the way which makes access to the hole nearly impossible to access. So I was wondering if there is an easier way to pass the power cable for the amplifier through the firewall, any pictures would also be greatly helpful.

Something in the way,

On which side? engine or interior?

Cant you take it off?

I had to take off a plastic cover under the dash,

you can use a piece of stiff wire to start it through

or the thin strip of metal on wiper blades is really good,

this helps as there is foam and tape to get through.

Yeh there is something in the way. On the engine side though I am not quite sure what it is. Yeh i know about that plastic cover and have taken it off and seen underneath it.

But as you can see from the photo something is annoyingly in the way and seems to be riverted on so i dont know to move it and i dont know if you can tell but the wire grommet is right underneath it.

Thanks Chris Rogers, I did exactly that today and even thought it was a bit of a bitch it all worked out and now i have a power cable running from the battery and through the firewall. For anyone else curious about this problem, I feel like in an r32 gtr this is the only solution and there is no easier way but the good thing is its not too difficult and could easily be done in less than 90 minutes

Cheers guys this thread is a huge help.

I was reading up another one which showed the hole unlike like mine and the picture by dean20 which had the plastic cover in the way.

Will follow these instructions tomorrow however my splash guard plastic screws are stripped and I need to get them out somehow :\

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
