just did this too i found it easier with removing guard liner you get so much room to work with too.

Takes >5 min to get it thru without inner guard , if you have tape, silicone spray, and stiff wire

But either way works

haha all good boys found it the gommet. the key point is to pull back the guard lining ! u cant see it other wise ! once i did that i run the cable in 15 mins !

and the last system i built i got a 145db with 2 12s running off 2.5k rms on music so i have a little experience with car audio !

cheers guys thanks for the help !!!!

Yeah its deceptive you can get to it from the engine bay but it is inside the guard it comes out behind the fuse box in the drivers kick. You can fit a semi trailer through it so the 0 gauge is fine. This grommet is there on almost all Nissan Imports S13/S14/S15 R32/R33/R34 180SX etc. Great for running cables neatly and out of sight. Pictures probably would have made it easier to find.

you can fish out the cable or just poke it through and hope that it comes out next to the fuses. Its doable without having to fish it out if you prefer not to.

dont forget to put a fuse inline you can purchase the inline fuses from jaycar or audio shops.Prefer the old tech cylindircal ones as theyre also water tight and very simple screw and go.

The screw together ones fail to easy

The plastic threads get crossed up or break off

The cables do not positive lock and can work loose

The housings crack from heat in a turbo bay or any V style motors from header heat

Not recommended !!

And jaycars are just the same as fleabay made in china ones !!

as i said i prefer those for simplicity of an anologue setup ten years down the line it will still be working but the digital new stuff, too much variables.With cracking place it under the lining but i really doubt that it would crack. Each to their own.

After nearly 26 years in pro car audio

They fail !! Often , even faster in oz heat

the new ones digital as you put it ? Which has nothing to do with it fail less , but a good old resetable curcuit breaker works well too , has a heat proof bakelite contruction as well

And ring terminals dont normally fall out

And never have to buy fuse at 2-9 bucks a pop

with those you need a straight run in and out or the allen set screw works loose on heat and cool cycles or fiddling with the wires

Just many better choices for same cost

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
