Tucking S13 wiring harness - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I usually have 18's and i have no problems with it like it is. The wheels will have to hit frame first.

that hood release cable is like a brake cable on a bicycle

you have it tucked along with your harness, making it difficult to work properly.

options:
cut the line short - pull metal line to open
get a longer cable - less tension on it
ditch the cable and get hood pins

if you have to relocate your harness inside the engine bay, you're too low ( yes, it is possible, when you ruin the suspension geometry of the vehicle ) or just think you're low..

Ha I made that post almost like... 2 years ago?

I don't have to worry about that anymore. My new car didn't come with hood cable, but aerocatch latches.

You basically go under the dash board and find all the plugs for that harness and disconnect them. You pop them out to the wheel well and route the whole thing on top of the strut tower. Only thing is you have to make sure your hood wont be smashing on to the wiring. Most people will unwrap the wiring and kinda flatten them and then rewrap them flat with electrical tape.

I would highly suggest Adel clamps over zipties.

^^^ did the same thing and works pretty dam good for me. Easiest thing you can do.

GripTerror · 03-14-2010, 10:04 AM

I searched and Yakota I don't wana sound like a dumbass, it does sound simple like 'disconect everything' then reroute.

But can you be more specific?

I want to move everything possibly under the dash. I have a cut up dash and alot of interior wiring removed.(stereo, etc... -- stripped out car).

I rather move the harness under the engine bay than have them in stock location for fenders anyways...

I would like some more pix or write up

I am guessing I'll have to take the fenders off to do this... I tucked mine up with zip ties and hammered this seam to push it up... but i am trying to alos get rid of non-essentials on the car and i figure harness not being hidden under fenders is one way to go to track down all the wiring...

noone with an s14 is showing pics or chiming in. It seems much more difficult to find enough slack or the holes to ties it up on s14.

*!Zar!* · 07-01-2010, 04:36 PM

It's all the same. I've done it on a few s14's before.

I routed my harness through the engine bay.

Just finished doing my friends.

We depinned the brake master cylinder harness and the wiper return box and moved them inside.

It makes the harness thinner. Then used some split loom to try and make it as thin as possible so the fender fits better.

And P clamps are more reliable than zipties for holding the harness.

chiboy002 · 01-27-2011, 07:11 AM

you might still have rubbing issues in the back, i did the same but with steel zipties. No issue there

I'm going to remove my smj and maybe depin it so i can fit it through the firewall or something.
