Trying to install the positive long positive battery cable and protectors from a factory GT-R into my GT-T (i have the cable and protectors and clips).  I have googled and watched YouTube videos and am unable to locate the mounting points and exact routing of the BNR34 positive battery cable that goes from the trunk battery to the front fuse box in the engine bay.  The best photo i have have found is attached which shows it running up the outer side of the driver side subframe and underneath into the engine bay.  Does anyone have any photos or routing for the rear?  There is a grommet that that it goes through on the passenger side behind the battery above the fuel tank, and i believe it gets mounts over the hump in the subframe towards the passenger side.  I'm hoping anyone who has a R33 or R34 with a factory trunk battery can post some photos of the routing of the cable.  Appreciate the help!

I can take some better pictures when I get around to pulling the transmission on my R33 but this will probably give you some idea of where it's routed.

Thanks, i have those photos and the R34 version.  It's where the wire crosses from the passenger side to the drivers side that I'm unsure about.  I'm pretty sure it follows/mounts to the arch of the rear subframe, but i have been unable to confirm.  Photos would be great!!  Thanks

If by this you mean the stiffening rib in the floopan, then probably yes. There would be no way that it would be attached to the actual subframe. That would be silly.

Possibly, like i said, i just don't know.  I'm only guessing by the shape of the cable.  Stiffening rib would make more sense though.

Not sure why these images refuse to be uploaded in jpeg format but that's the way it goes. Basically runs just to the right of the brake lines, up and around the top side of the front of the fuel tank, makes a turn and heads back at the corner, then the last bit goes straight up near the wheel well into the trunk.

They have some strange meta data. I was able to repair them on my Mac.

Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT.

I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors?

How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis?

Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
