Throttle cable question

[CanadianLurch]

Hi everyone, i am coming towards the end of my 1jz ma70 swap and I cant seem to figure out the throttle cable. I have a 2jz cable and I have just installed it (what a pain) and im not sure how it is routed to the throttle. (sorry if confusing im a n00b) the cable seems long so im not sure if it is supposed to follow a certain path etc. also i cant figure how to attach it to the throttle....really dumb questions i imagine but if someone has a picture of their engine bay or could get me a close up on their "throttle" i believe (haha) it would be much appreciated

Thanks
steve

Just route it anywhere u wnt it. Look on SF at the ultimate jz engine thread, you'll have plenty of hood shots.

K thx, actually i figured out the problem is the wrong throttle cable. It was supposed to be a 2jz but must have come from a RHD or something cause its way too long....oh well guess ill have to buy new

there are 3 differant throttle cables for the 2J, I cant remember which one it was, but it fit like a glove

cant you also get a throttle cable off a toyota camry and it will work on the 1j

Thanks all to the reply, got my new 94TT supra cable from the dealership today, hopefully it will fit like a glove (the guy at the local JDM store reccomended it) Drove the car home the other day with the long throttle cable on with a slight curve in it. Worked fine but not up to my definition of "safe" by any means
