Hi, been searching around for the s14 fender harness tuck diy and can
't find it anywhere. My friend told me there was one on here or somewhere on the internet.

Can anyone help me out to find it or give me some tips and guide to do this?

Unless you're slamming it to the ground and have to relocate it, just take some zipties and pull the harness and hood release up higher along the wheel well.
Mine's about a quarter of an inch above metal and if I hit that I'm pretty sure it'd destroy a tire.

really? i tried it without taking the fender off and i couldn't move the harness up much at all. there was no play to move it around. Do i pull the interior harness part out more?

It's the best way, just a little more time consuming.

im not sure about s14's. but when i did my s13 id still hit at full lock, so i took the dash off, pulled the white plug from the fuse box, and routed it into the motor bay. its a lot more time consuming. but you dont have to cut any wires.

so i tried it and cannot pull the harness out much to even pull them up like in the picture.

Does anyone know any specific tips to do this on the s14?

try popping that big rubber gromet thing that the harness goes through behind the front wheel, it will give you some more slack

I undo the radiator overflow tank and undo the clips where the harness holds on to the body. I was able to put my harness up after that and still fit the overflow tank back to its stock location.

Just take your fender off, then beat that tab flush with the frame, Drill some holes and tie wrap it up there.... Here's a picture.

Just adding to this as i went through some fender harness nightmares myself.
I tied it up like above. You have to heat and bang the lip flat with the body, then drill holes to zip tie the harness to.

The other issue that comes up is the part of the harness thats closst to the firewall. I thought i was all done then when i mounted the wheel, noticed at full lock turned left the tire rubs it. So i had to zip tie it up through into the engine bay.

Different people will have diff issues depending on wheel/tire size and how low you are. Im really low on 18x9 +10 with a 235/40. Also your caster can affect how close the tire gets to the firewall side of the harness. heres a quick pic before ziptieing the firewall side up further.

Where the white is where i had to hammer in because it was tearing up my tire.
The red is where Im still rubbing my harness still.. at/near full lock
I know there are guys lower than mine that daily/drift this low.

im running 18x9.5-5 with a 225/40

where the red is i was trying to explain i was still hitting there but i tucked it up higher pulling it against the top of the car with zipties into the engine bay. Also was hitting on the left side white circle there but i adjusted my caster. Im not hitting on the right side white circle. You are running a super aggressive wheel and your a bit lower than me. Prob gna need to tuck your harness through the bay.
