Right, im currently relocating my battery to my boot on my R32 Gtst, from factory ( or how i bought the car) off the postive post on the battery it had the main starter cable running to the starter motor, postive wire running to the fuse box (this then splits into several, will post picture) and the positive feed for the fuel pump (brown wire with eyelet also seen in photo). My question is, can i run the positive feed from my battery using 0 gauge wire directly the the post on my starter motor, then run a positive feed from the starter to wires coming out of my fuse box? i will also wire the fuel pump directly to the battery in the boot. Also i will earth the wires that were on the negative on the battery in the engine bay. Will this work fine with no issues? or do i need to use a junction box of some description to run my main power feed to then run postive feeds off there. I hope this makes some sence.

thanks, Brad

Assuming it doesn't need to split off anywhere, that should be fine. I've seen plenty of engines hooked up that way. If in doubt though, you can get a insulated block and mount it in the bay somewhere, run the pos to that and 2 more to fuse and starter.

Oh and I didn't mention (but remembering now), Your really should put a fuse in line to the feed to Jblock/starter. And make it big. Like ~200A. If you are going to have a few metres of battery wire running in your vehicle, you are most certainly going to need to protect it. If that shorts your car will go up in flames.

this is what i did in my R34 my battery was in the engine bay and all i did was run 0ga upto the original battery location and then connected all the wires that went onto the battery post to the fusable link end and i also have another fuse at the battery end about 100mm from the battery. so at the battery i have a 200A fuse and in the engine bay i have a 150A so that if the engine or accessories blow the fuse it will kill the 150A fuse but if the main 0ga wire shorts out somewhere along the body theres a 200A that it will kill

No the fusable link is generally in the fuse box so normally off the battery to starter motor run theres no fuse. That black thing next to the oil filter is my fuse i do alot of car audio and its just a fuse that you can get from JB HiFi autobarn who ever mine is a pole type

      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

      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.
