god, i just look at that and get a headache. Can't wait to see how this turns out, I'll try and learn from your mistakes (if you make any).

mdbizman87 05-28-2009 01:23 PM

LOL i know right, I work with electrical aspects of cars too and Im just like WTF! I want to do a battery relocation in my S13 and a wire tuck but looks im in deff gunna need some more experience for this or someone who deff knows what their doing lol.

I keep checking these threads just to see what the "general level of interest" is on this stuff.

As I'm doing my RB25 rebuild/swap, I'm doing a full tuck on the upper harness (already removed all the wires/box/etc from the engine bay) and using a Tyco Mil-Spec bulkhead connector to separate engine-bay from interior halves. I've found that only 33 wires need to actually pass through the firewall :)

As far as the interior, I've got a 10-circuit fusebox handling my Accessories and a 6-circuit taking care of Ignition-switched duties, all hiding out under my passenger airbag. On the back side of that plate is the relay logic for push-button start and my fuel pump/fan relays. The car has no body harness, only 12 or so wires running back through the car for tail lights/fuel pump/stereo.

Pics in a couple days.

To many wires for me. i would have a anxiety attack.

hpipro4 06-09-2009 07:11 PM

so i installed my dcc took me a while to figure out what i did wrong. tips: dont unplug the blue relay, only unplug the black relay!

also tested my s13 digital cluster...well no luck getting the mph....it did once turn on then slowly faded but its gone....

test fitted the obx header fits awesome w/o egr n secondary air!

oh yea i didnt think about using aftermarket connectors....just buy plenty of wire sleeves 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", variety of heat shrinks, 3m electric tape, time and patient...lol

maybe if you bought a 5spd instead of auto then you would be doing this now!!!lol

D1S13 06-09-2009 08:17 PM

Good job! !

S14Cuhh 06-09-2009 08:38 PM

looking good.

GSXRJJordan 06-09-2009 08:53 PM

I should be finishing my upper and lower RB25 engine harnesses this week, using mil-spec circular connectors and Maringo power connectors, all wrapped in Techflex sleeve. Spent way too much money lol, but hopefully will be bomb. The rest of the car just needs to be wrapped/heat shrinked (got lazy and didn't want to de-pin all the connectors).

Om1kron 06-09-2009 09:44 PM

ahahahah down with de-pinning connectors lol.

hpipro4 06-09-2009 11:38 PM

the finished fuse panels!

clean.



i disassembled my relay box since i only used a couple out of it and just put them behind the radio where the other relays were located. good hiding spot , they dont really need to be accessible. i minimized my fuse panel and just tucked everything away all nice and pretty.

kind of wish i would have put my fusebox in my center console like my friends car , but didnt want to re run my harness AGAIN. idk i may get bored someday and move it ?

i cut a bunch of the wrong wires at some point and had all kinds of crazy mishaps , but it all is good now :)

:) learned the hard way.

benefits : knowing every wire and what and where it goes to by heart.

93nismo 06-13-2009 11:38 AM

hahah thats why i did mine! was bored one day so i started with the engine harness and then decided mine as well do the rest so i did.

i didnt use the wiring diagrams that much but only wires i miss labeled just to make sure it goes where is suppose to go.

even removed wires for cruise control, rear wiper..etc
