Positive power cable removal R33 coupe

[G2trop]

Hi i have a series 2 25det r33 coupe i was wondering if the large positive cable that runs from the boot underneath the car along the chasis rails and upto the fuse box could be removed without causing any problems. As far as i know its only used to jumpstart the car from the engine bay which i will not be doing does this cable effect anything else? Cheers.

I'm pretty sure that also feeds the starter motor, and everything else that takes power from the fuse box in the front.

Any particular reason you want to remove it?

I'm pretty sure that cable runs everything electrical? is there anything spliced off before it?

Nah - wireless power transmission is a thing dudes.

 Thought the battery from the boot ran through the inside and up to the ecu for main power (obviously not). The cable it self had no lines coming off it so thought it might be for jumping. Wanted to know if i could remove it because the car is a shell and i am restoring the underbody one less thing to put back in that looks old. I don't know much about electrics so when i looked at this diagram and took my fuse box apart i didn't see any connections between anything. The green cable is the one i am talking about.

The fact that it is called out as the "Main Power Cable" should be pretty telling.

Cool thanks bro just didnt look like it was connected to anything when looking the the box cheers

yeah the trick is, when you put the fittings back in the fuse box, there is a bus bar between those 2 terminals and a whole heap of other places....
