Hood release cable routing?
 

Hi all,

I'm digging deeper into the '12 Nismo Z I'm putting back together, and am having some issues with the hood release. First, the hood cable was disconnected up to where it goes behind the fender when I received the car, so I don't know the proper routing. I've seen a few pictures, but are there any "gotcha's" in routing the cable, or a path that works best?

Also, does anyone have a picture or description of how the cables should be arranged in the little black Y-junction? It looks like the two latch-side cables are installed properly from what I can tell, with each jacket seated in the small section and each barrel end inside of the small metal tab. The pull cable, though, was floating free outside of the junction, though, and I'm wondering if how I put it in there is part of my problem.

Thanks!

Factory Service Manual (AKA FSM)

The section in the FSM (DLK-183-5) is pretty vague, particularly about placing the cables into the Y ("hood lock control cable protector"), hence the questions.

im very interested in if you found out how the hood latch gets set up, im building my Z that got hit from the front and am having the same exact issue, i dont no were the black box thats right by the driver side headlight clips to, if you go on nissan parts usa they actually have a picture of were the cord runs and how it connects, my question is were does the white little clip/square thats on the cord go, and were does this black box clip too
website is this, make sure u hit "standard" to see what im talking about https://parts.nissanusa.com/nissanpa...3432&siteid=14
