Dumping your S14. Problems :(

[SlmdCpe]

Hey guys, I wanna lower my S14 alot lower then what it already is. My problem is my tire rubs with the wiring harness and it already ate the plastic so I was forced to raise the car up. I dont have the splash guards on it yet. Tire size are 225/40 on 18x8.5 +40 and 235/40 9.5 +38 What do you guys do to be so slow and not eat at your wiring harness. Thank you. Ive always had low cars and now I feel weird having this one so high. Thanks once again.

relocate the wiring harness.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

remove fender liners, and relocate harness like he said^^

[xplicit240]

There is a write up on here somewhere.

heres one example. removed your fender and move the harness along the chassi and zip tie. voila problem solved.

[renegade_ewok]

Yeah, was gonna say exactly like the above. Just get a few zip ties and take the fender off and pull it up higher. Problem solved.

[garagelu]

yea take your whole fender off, pull the wiring harness up higher where the frame is and use zip ties to hold it up.

Sorry if this is a little off topic but what kind of camera do you use for those picture. BTW, nice pics.

[gunluvS14]

yeah, relocate it, its piece of cake

Only "problem" is S14 harness is a lot shorter than S13, so there won't be that much of slack for you to pull up. I have to drill 2 extra holes to zip tie the harness tight

[koukimonster139]

stretch your tires, then for shits and giggles, flip your wheels inside out and mount the face to the hub - offset always make shit look lower






right guys?


right?

i did what everyone else stated and wrapped a whole lot of electric tape on it! i mean a lot! it has been holding up good and im slammed! if it ever becomes a problem i will probably end up wrapping it in something stronger.

P.S. love the way your white coupe sits

oh yeah, i've really never seen anyone use this, but a company called "AP Boss" makes a fender harness protector

[zugoi]

Either relocate your wireharness like everyone said or you can buy a harness plate/protector that enjuku racing sells. Its also on sale for $90 if i recall.


EDIT: Clark beat me too it. Also its only $60.

[4bangers]

how does the enjunku harness protector work? I saw it but I don't see how it protect the harness and where does it mount?

[dynamicck]

i tried to relocate the harness, but it still rubbed. Either pull the harness out from the dash, or cut the harness and solder that biatch.

[njd07]

I had to relocate mine twice...first time I did the best I could and it still rubbed. 2nd time I removed the rubber gromet and got a ton of slack and made sure it would never rub again.

[5t341tH]

is there harnesses on both sides of the car? i see ppl doing it on their cars but on different sides. just so i know before i start taking off the wrong fenders

[MangoDorifto]

S14's only have the harness on the driver side. While your tucking the harness, you should tuck the hood release cable while your at it... ask me how i know..

this is the only crappy pic i got of my harness tuck
