Hi SAU,

I have a 4 gauge wiring kit that needs to run from the battery in the engine bay to the amp in the boot. If anyone has this set up, I'd appreciate if I could drop in and have a look where you ran the cables from the engine bay, and how you mounted the amp in the boot.

I understand most run their wires through a 'hidden' gap near the driver side wheel well, but I'd like to have a look first if it's convenient for anyone. I'm in Newington, so if anyone is nearby (up to say a half hour drive, i suppose?) and has this wiring done on an R34 GTT, I'd love to hear from you

Cheers!

Mick

unfortunately the R34 has the battery on the driver's side instead of the passenger side, so that means you will need to run your power cable along with the rear harness (which isn't ideal).

Run from the battery, into the quarter panel along the harness over the wheel arch then into the cabin through that thick grommet...

Follow that through and line up against the harness running to the rear, cable tying along the way so it's all neat.

Mount amp either on that hump OR on the back seat

Fuse as close as possible to the battery

Earth to anywhere in the boot with a decent sized bolt

easy

Yeah, i have done mine. As above, through drivers side wheel arch was all power cables.. All speaker wires went down passenger side. I have 2 12" subs in boot with amp mounted behind them.

Loads of cable tying and youll be alright. I'm in Penrith area however have the car apart at the moment so cant drive out to see you. If you wanted to come out and take a look let me know.

Hey Kyle, I actually came to look at your R33 towards the end of last year, came with my mate and his white S15 - thanks heaps for the offer!

Did you end up taking the wheel and splash guards off to get the wires through?

Ah sweet man, nah didnt have to pull guards off. Theres a grommet you should be able to get to. I've just left my second job so im free weekends now if you need to come out.

Maybe i could come help you when your ready to do it. Either way man

Not sure if he'll come to you - or that you're close enough to him.

Mick, have you posted in or checked out the Car Audio and Security section??? Link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/9-car-audio-security/

Thank you very much for the input, guys - much appreciated! Kyle has kindly offered to help me get through the firewall, and he's only a 20 minute drive down the M4. I did ask a question earlier in the audio thread and got the answers i'm looking for (plus i'm a stringent researcher/googler - I ask all of my stupid questions on the forums) I'm confident with all of the other wiring for the subs. It's not an urgent job either, happy to wait. Cheers!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
