Explain. I can't picture a Skyline where the engine loom doesn't come out through the firewall/A pillar region on the passenger (LH) side of the engine bay.

Hi guys 

Was toying with the idea of shift the engine loom to go through the firewall to protect it abit more than running it along the drivers side has anybody done this.

Cheers 

Have you ever done automotive wiring?

You have to get the words correct in sentences for them to make sense.

That's not my opinion.

It must if you got to be a smart ass when somebody is only asking for advice. Next time dont bother unless you have something helpful to say. 

Well let's be realistic, if you got the answer that someone had done it before, you would be 99% likely to ask how did you do it, wouldn't you?

 

Pretty sure no one has ever done it, because it hardly makes sense.

Nar I was meaning the left side engine loom.

Why the hell would you bother ? The passenger side ecu loom goes into the wheel arch from the cabin and then exits the wheel arch into engine bay.

The wiring in the wheel arch on the passenger side is maybe 100mm ? Again, why would you bother ? The one on the driver's side runs the entire length of the wheel arch, much more exposed as the length is way more than half a metre over your wheel.

No wonder people are giving you WTF are you thinking reactions, as the idea of rerouting the passenger side of the loom is completely unnecessary, and will achieve absolutely zero benefit.

Was thinking of putting the ecu on the gearbox tunnel and cutting a hole on the drivers side of the motor.

Also if you wanted to do this, a factory loom would not reach anywhere required, and major modification of loom would be needed.

Putting a loom through the firewall means cutting a new hole of course but the problem then is 'will everything fit through the hole'? Cutting new holes through the firewall is generally a bad idea anyway, particularly if the aim is just to save a bit of wiring length. Ignoring any re plugging that will be required, eek.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
