what is the best route for 4ga power into the car itself?what will i need to remove to run the wire?

 

I will be running 4 Ga. power this weekend in my Z, and trying to keep everything as stealth as possible. I can let you know my location once I figure it out...

See this thread for my install plans:

I ran mine according to some of the suggestions I found on these message boards. Do a search and you might find some pictures and a better description, but here is my best shot:

I attached the power wire to the battery using a Monster Cable lug on the factory positive power distribution center. Ran about 6 inches of wire and then installed an inline fuse holder (Rockford Fosgate with a 60 amp fuse).

Then the wire enters the cabin through a small slit in a factory grommet that is located sorta behind the battery. You have to remove the black plastic cover piece to see it, which is very easy to do since they used the little plastic pop rivets to hold it on.

Once the wire is inside the cabin, I removed the passenger side kick panel and the plastic trim piece that runs along the door sill. If you pull back the carpet a little you'll see a cool white plastic wire guide that Nissan installed but didn't use (at least not on my car). There is one along the middle of the door sill, and another one back by the the lower seat belt mount. From there it's a short hop into the rear storage compartments or where ever you are running the wire.
