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.

Funny about that , its a pain on iphones haha

where it comes in from under the lining.

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.

the grommet rubber lining

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

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
