That makes plenty of sense.

AW WRIGHT!

wiring is the best part of the swap!

it's the most intriguing and fun thing to do for your car.

it's even better than finding a winning lottery ticket after walking out of a divorce court.

good luck buddy!

get that shit running. so we can be twiiiiiins!

my wheels didn't even have locks on them before.

looks like we are both at the same place in our builds. i spent all day wiring my car. hardest part for me right now is sorting through all the useless wiring that used to go to the under hood fuse box. my fans and fuel pump relays are in my engine harness so that lightened the load a little. good work though man, i love seeing people take pride in the quality of their work!

[Om1kron]

Didn't get much done when I woke up...

Just cleaning up wire, going to shorten the harness sometime this week when my shit gets in, hook it up and test it, somehow lol.



Then i'm going to do mechanical shit next weekend... yeah right who am I kidding, I'm re-locating the fusebox next weekend and wiring up my accessories so i can run jdm kouki signals. Since I never ran them before!!!

ok.

found it's base, snipped the two other grounds off and re-taped this.



now the ecu has this insulated wire running through it. I'm debating on eliminating it or keeping it. I really don't even see how it ties into the harness or saves it from electrical interference of any sort. Especially if the wire is hacked up on both ends, doesn't that kind of defeat it's purpose?

One of those insulated signal and ground wires is hacked into 4 plugs... 3 which I removed, one I am keeping which is the MAF which is running a single LEGIT ground off of it. I am going to replace the wire on the other two plugs from the harness to this plug itself, just need to measure how much wire I need since I'm running this plug around the back of the engine by itself.



yeah... just so you can get my point of view... this is what I'm dealing with... Have fun tracing an insulated wire back to what it's hacked into.



If you think this stuff is hard, try to satisfy your girlfriends craving for Cuban food when you're not in LA and have no idea where the fuck to find the stuff she wants to eat. Luckily I found some little Cuban food joint that just opened up on Archibald and 6th food was pretty good. A little on the pricey side, but it wasn't chain restaurant food served with a false smile and hopes of a good tip.

alright guys, I'll have more updates during the week, hopefully some of this stuff was pretty helpful.

LOL yeah if you want to go ahead and send me the scematics of your airbag fusebox, you can go ahead and send that right on over...

that'd be greeeaaaat thanks.



*drool*

omg, where did the fusebox go??? (edit: this is vaughn4's fusebox!)

not a problem man.. should be finished with all the wiring this week. i will write something up and post it on my build thread.

[Om1kron]

sweet, one less headache for me to go through hehe. I pulled the fusebox out and refuse to put it back in so it's just hanging out of my front fender like a dogs tongue hangs out of it's mouth.

I seriously thought of relocating my little fuse panel (same one you used) up there, but I have an intact-airbag dash... doesn't the cover panel "flop" up and down over bumps and shit?

I totally agree. I knew I didn't want that huge bitch going back in my bay when I did my swap, but it wasn't till it was actually out that I understood the 'gravity' of the decision lol. If you're interested in redoing a whole shitload of the body harness yourself like I did (and it looks like Vaughn did too), ditch the whole thing. If you want to use the stock stuff, cut the back off and stuff it behind the glove box, off to the side of the AC exchanger box.

[Sir]

To make you feel better, in my car the body harness between SMJ going to the back was just one melted mess of wires. The cluster harness was cut and spliced and wires changed colors 4 times before ending up running to nowhere.

I just snipped the plugs, opened the FSM and went to work. Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with this shit. At least the S14 FSM has great brakedown of each electrical system, so its easier to trace.

[Om1kron]

Phi (nrg) came over, looked the shit over, the harness is good to go, laid out out in the engine bay. Just need to finish soldering up the instrument cluster to the f3 plug, finish eliminating any stale wires not going to shit wrapped in electrical tape junctions of doom. We sat and bullshitted for a minute, he took off at 1am.

De-pinned, untangled, re-pinned, arranged left side of the bay harness tonight, it's pretty much ready to loom up.

tomorrow night I'll do the passenger side of the harness, take some pictures that wont make sense. and go to sleeeeeep!

it's 3:32 am, going to hop in the shower and put my work clothes on and go to sleep lol.

oh and threw a shot in of my engine all cleaned up and ready to fire up.









yeah... I wish.

till tomorrow.

Glad to see you're using the car audio guys' trick--techflex! I love that stuff!

I want flan too.

Nope, I have an in-tact airbag too but i've seen people doing hard launches in their 240's an pop goes the passenger airbag... I plan on running harnesses on both seats anyway so no point in running the passenger bag if someones face wont make it over there, much less I don't normally have passengers in my 240.

The airbag cover snaps on and snaps off just like any other panel on the interior.

I totally agree. I knew I didn't want that huge bitch going back in my bay when I did my swap, but it wasn't till it was actually out that I understood the 'gravity' of the decision lol. If you're interested in redoing a whole shitload of the body harness yourself like I did (and it looks like Vaughn did too), ditch the whole thing. If you want to use the stock stuff, cut the back off and stuff it behind the glove box, off to the side of the AC exchanger box.

I just want to create a little panel like vaughn did... but from what i've read you don't even have to cut or splice anything, that harness in the bay is long enough to reach to the trunk if you de-loom it from everything that is attached to it. Something like that, or I can run it right to that area mentioned with no problemo.

I dunno. For now I think I will leave it where it is and when I have the time to tackle it i'll make my fuse panel separately and then just drop it in and move the wires accordingly.

Kinda interested in how this car turns out... reminds me a little of my s14 build.

I sure hope not... you'd be wasting a whole lot of time and money.

Thanks I miss the car a lot...

[Om1kron]

damn you people and your life shifting priorities. =(

[blueshark123]

I ove what u did with the wiring i wish I had time to do that to my harness keep up the good work

no not at all. the front side of the bag cover snaps down and the rear side usually bolts down. i cut the studs off the back side and put some 3M velcro is a small spot to keep it from hoppin up. it all looks factory.
