ehh nm

some people say the way I think it should be done is too much work.

Brian and R240NA's way are the way to go.

I was rubbing the harness sometimes too. After I relocated it above the fender it doesn't rub any more. Like someone else said, it could also be your taller tires. I'm running a 235/40/17 tire, no problem.

But we both have and still do, and that method works fine. Don't be a dick when you're getting spoonfed what you need to know.

khilgers · 12-04-2007, 06:22 PM

I pulled my fender, ziptied it along the top, then bent a piece of steel to hold the harness up higher where it enters the firewall. I gained about 3" of clearance with the steel than with just zipties. Hope this helps.

no problem dude. My tire would have to rub through my fender wells before it would get to the harness, and I honestly don't see that happening.

Maiku240sxS14 · 12-04-2007, 09:42 PM

Had the same problem but I went the extra length and took a cutter and soldering iron...

xamraci · 12-05-2007, 05:05 PM

Alright, I jacked the whore up today...what Russ was saying is probably the best option...guess I am going to remove a little camber, dump it some more up front and go get my tires swapped and the car re-alligned

I need a tire machine and alignment rack

It's not really hard to do at all, it's not as if everything on an S14 is operated off of can-bus or anything, it's a pretty simple front harness.

I just pulled the harness back through the firewall and mounted the relay box under the dash, then extended what wires needing to go back to the front of the car using extra wiring from another harness.
Run these extra wires through a grommet at the bottom of the firewall, or drill a hole in the floor at the back side of the frame rail and fish them in under the carpet to tuck them completely out of sight.

i need tires · 12-14-2007, 12:22 PM

got it all done! thanks guy for your input

dkingkong · 12-14-2007, 02:50 PM

i put a piece of sheetmetal and rerouted the harness so its pulled up and the sheetmetal protects it from getting torn to shits.

works good for me

i need tires · 12-14-2007, 03:02 PM

oh word! i already relocated inside engine bay.. seems like the best thing to do

im also gonna weld a piece of metal on the back side of the harness where the grommet is to assure it wont get messed up
