Hey guys I am finishing of a 32 gtr circuit build and onto the simple task of mounting the external cable that turns off the battery isolator switch.

I thought it was easy enough as ive seen a couple mounted just under the rear edge of the bonnet drivers side near windscreen and A pillar. Only issue is its a very very tight fit to make a bracket up and squeeze between bonnet hinge and back edge of bonnet.

Has anyone got any suggestions on where to mount it and pics would be even more helpful. I've googled and found nothing so far.

Thanks

Mine's not a 32 and not likely considered a good install but I can tell you that in my S13 the isolater switch is in the engine bay where the old battery used to be (now in boot) and it has a steel cable that runs up the lip between quarter panel and engine bay and pops out under the corner of the bonnet near the windscreen on the driver side.

EDIT: Here's a pic of before it was all done as I don't have a current on on hand.

The red square is where the switch is, the cable runs under that lip up the guard. I think I have a heavy duty cable tie holding it in place in one spot. I've tested it numerous times and it works everytime.

I'm sure there will be neater installs than mine but it took 15mins and was done with off the shelf parts.

The alternator is wired to the dead side of the switch. It cannot supply power to the engine when the switch is pulled.

I had that issue in my car on my first wiring attempt lol, pulled the switch and car kept running.

In that pic the alternator is down underneath the Throttle body so my wiring was short.

umm a bit late, but that's where mine is too, it is mounted on the scuttle panel thingy. I did not use a bracket it is just mounted straight on the plastic, and has survived 8 years of use so far (only ever gets pulled at scrutineering every now and then)

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
