hmmm.... well, i drilled another hole... your prob not interested in doin so... but in the GTST there aint too much room for much, as i spose the GTR would not be any better.

Above the Acc pedal and to the right, i made a hole... works well, just have to protect the cable from the firewall, so it aint wear throu and touch your + onto the chassis.. :cheers:

Been there done that. RHS of engine firewall behind the suspension tower is a triangular opening which is blocked with foam.

You will need to undo two 10mm nuts that hold the vac booster reservior above the hole.

Feed your wiring through the opening and stuff the foam back in there. Lay your cable down the side of you floor to the back. You have to pull out the rear seat and your plastic door sill protector. Hook it up and get the tunes cranking!

Cool that would be great.

is there anything under the dash that i will need to removed to access it cause the other night i could not see where the wire would come out if i was to put it through the triangle bit. i could push it down but where does it go. i have alot of padding stuff lining up under the dash so i am guessing it is covering it in some way but looks like too much effort to remove it... and i dont want to go cutting it untill i know exactly where to do so.

Hi Nugget_GTR,

underneath the backseats there are two clips, to unhook the clips you just pull the front part of the seat UPWARDS and the'll come off, then you pull the seat forward which will unhook two latches from behind the seat, the part of the seat where you sit on should now come out...

Now you should see a couple of screws holding the other part of the seat, simply undo these then pull the seat upwards and it will come off... let me know if you get stuck

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
